Pro Tips

  • The N'EX or Keisei Skyliner are the best ways to central Tokyo — taxis are prohibitively expensive.
  • Allow 2+ hours for connections at NRT — the airport is large and immigration/customs can be slow.
  • Japan's famous service quality extends to NRT: staff are helpful, signage is excellent, and restrooms are immaculate.
  • Get a Japan IC Card (Suica or Pasmo) at the airport for seamless transit in Tokyo — rechargeable and accepted widely.
  • Narita's duty-free shops have excellent Japanese whisky, sake, and electronics — compare prices with downtown before buying.
  • The airport is far from Tokyo (60 km) — stay in the Narita area if you have a very early or late connection rather than making the journey twice.
  • Tokyo has two airports: check if HND (Haneda, closer to downtown) has your flight before booking through NRT.
