BUS The Airport Limousine Bus is a cost-effective way to get to Tokyo. From there it is a short taxi ride to major Tokyo hotels. There are also buses to the major hotels in all of Tokyo's districts. Check with the Airport Limousine Bus counter to see if your hotel is served. Purchase your ticket at the Airport Limousine Bus counter just outside of customs.
Travel time is between one and two hours.
The train station is on the lower level of the airport terminals, so there is no shuttle bus to deal with. The main drawback is that all seats are reserved, so if you do not book in advance you may not find a seat. If you do not have a reservation, go to the NEX counter near the train terminal to purchase your ticket. This express train leaves Narita Station every 30 - 40 minutes for Ueno Station, which is a little north of Tokyo Station. There is a counter for the Keisei Skyliner in the arrivals lobby of both terminals.
