Detailed Transport Options
1
Keisei Express – Most Affordable Option
¥1,235
Why Choose This Option:
Most affordable train option
No reservations needed
Runs every 20 minutes
Direct connection to central Tokyo
Journey Details:
Route: Narita → Nippori → Central Tokyo
Total time: 65 minutes
Transfer: Usually one easy transfer
Frequency: Every 20 minutes, 5:30 AM – 11:30 PM
Pro Tip: Buy an IC card (Suica/Pasmo) at the airport for easier transfers throughout Tokyo. Rush hours (7-9 AM, 5-7 PM) can be crowded, so allow extra time.
Especially recommended for: Late arrivals, heavy luggage, groups, first-time visitors
4

¥3,100
Best Features:
Direct routes to major hotels
Luggage storage underneath
Comfortable seats
No transfers needed
Popular Routes:
Tokyo Station: 55-85 minutes
Shinjuku: 85-100 minutes
Shibuya: 90-105 minutes
Ikebukuro: 85-100 minutes
Important: Add 30-45 minutes during rush hours. Last buses depart around 11:00 PM, so check current schedules for late arrivals.
5
Narita Express (N’EX) – JR Pass Holders
¥3,070 / Free with JR Pass
JR Pass Math: If you’re buying a 7-day JR Pass (¥29,650), the N’EX is essentially free and makes perfect sense. Without a JR Pass, this option is overpriced compared to alternatives.
