Fare Hike for ‘LCC Buses’: The Ultimate Guide to Saving on Access to Narita Airport That Route Planners Won’t Tell You About [Column]

The Deep World of Narita Airport Access

Narita Airport

About 50 km from Tokyo city center to Narita Airport, there are several options available because of the distance. The writer thinks this variety is a strength (Note: This is purely the writer’s opinion).

Let’s recap. If you’re not very familiar with transportation and want to save money, ‘Airport Bus Tokyo-Narita’ is the gold standard. Even after the price increase, the simplicity of 1,500 yen one-way from Tokyo Station remains attractive.

If you can get a Keisei shareholder complimentary ticket at a ticket shop, the ‘Access Express’ via Keisei Narita Sky Access Line is recommended. It’s appealing to access downtown for around 1,000 yen one way, including the cost of buying the complimentary ticket.

For those who have opened an account with ‘JRE BANK’, trying out the ‘JRE BANK Privilege Discount Coupons’ might be good. Although discounts haven’t been issued yet and cannot be used for access this summer, it looks promising for comfortable and cost-effective access in the future.

And for those who love taking trains and are traveling light, the Nishifuna or Yawata routes via Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway up to the border of Tokyo and Chiba are recommended. It’s not suggested for everyone, though.

For contrarians, Higashi-Narita Station is recommended. You might face fewer trains and inconvenient transfers, but there could be something on the other side of those challenges, or perhaps nothing at all.

With summer vacation in full swing, do readers have plans to head to Narita Airport? While the writer recommends the “thrifty” routes, please note that complaints about transfer failures, accumulated fatigue, luggage damage, or indeed any hassle that seems not worth the effort, will not be entertained.
