Narita is located 80 km (50 miles) north east of central Tokyo.  It is served by bus, train and taxi service.  A train service called the Narita Express (JR-East) travels to Tokyo is about one hour.  The bus takes longer.

The Narita Airport Station is a 5-minute walk from Terminal 1 and a 10-minute walk to Terminals 2 and 3.  The Narita Express train stops at the following major stations:

  • Narita Airport Terminal 1
  • Narita Airport Terminal 2-3
  • Tokyo Station
  • Shinagawa Station
  • Shibuya Station
  • Shinjuku Station

The Narita Express trains depart every 15 minutes or so. The journey from the airport to Tokyo Stations takes approximately one hour. Passengers travelling to Yokohama or Haneda Airport can transfer at the Shinagawa Station.

A similar service called the Keisei Skyliner provides a similar service.  One can also travel on the Keisei Regular line, however, it takes longer, is less comfortable and can be crowded.  It is, however, the least expensive option. These trains terminate at the Keisei Ueno Station in Tokyo via the Nippori Station.
