counter at Narita Keisei Station in either terminal.

Skyliner twice an hour 10am to 9pm. This budget option costs ¥1000 and takes
1½ hours to Ueno or Nippori.

7am to 10.30pm, for major hotels and train stations such as Shinjuku (¥3000, 1½
hours). Get tickets from the Limousine Bus counter near the arrival gates at either
terminal.
› Taxis Run at about ¥25,000 from Narita to the city centre - naturally we don't re-
commend this.
