From Narita to Tokyo 成田から東京まで

Of course, you don’t have to take the Super Express Train. You can also take an ordinary train, a limousine bus, or even a taxi. A Taxi? Are you mad?!   Taxis are wonderful, but 70 kilometres to Tokyo, or further to Yokohama will rip a major hole in your pocket! Very expensive! Take the bus – you’ll like the bus. Good choice, if you don’t want to take the Narita Express Train.

The Narita Express Train departs from the basement and takes you within the hour to downtown Tokyo 東京 とうきょう tōkyō, or further to Yokohama 横浜 よこはま yokohama. Just go to the ticket counter and the assistants will help you with any bookings. Every 20 minutes or so another train leaves, so you won’t have to wait for very long. Seating arrangements for the train are marked on the platform on the ground, but also overhead on electronic sign boards. You can’t go wrong. There are plenty of staff who would be of assistance as well. They are in the business of moving many people efficiently and quickly and pleasantly!

your most important piece of paper:

(Or the one from your own country. Do check whether you need a visa. Many countries have agreements with Japan, so for tourist purposes under a certain length of time a visa is not needed).

Your very smart piece of paper: レールパス reeru-pasu  rail-pass

This can only be bought OUTSIDE Japan.

It saves you an awful lot of money.

That’s a little… (cheeky)

Carrying suitcases is not a problem as elevators, escalators automatic walkways and conveyor belts are everywhere. We would have taken the elevator, but well… hey, why not the escalator, some people seem to think! It’s an -ator after all, isn’t it?! Close enough.

Ever tried running on one of these?  not very Japanese…

There are many arrivals and departures all day long, so please keep an eye on the different boards. However, if you speak Japanese or English you won’t have a problem. The Japanese have a reputation for being just superbly well-organised. Unbelievable! They even manage to smile to their guests while being very busy.
