Accommodation Advice Near Airports

Narita Airport

Some of you must want to take a rest near the Airport because of jet lag.

 

Generally, Narita is NOT a very convenient place. But big hotel chains know that there are needs for hotels around international airports, so they make their hotels convenient and comfortable for tired guests. Many hotels offer free shuttles between Narita Airport and them.

 

However, if you do not think you need to stay there, I recommend booking a hotel in Tokyo City. It takes just 36 minutes from Narita Airport to Tokyo by the fastest Keisei Skyliner.

 

Tokyo is a large city with interesting districts and hundreds of hotels. It is a good idea to browse other Accommodation Advice if you have some time to search a good hotel for you at this moment.

How can I get to Tokyo City from Narita Airport?

I recommend 3 ways.

 

1: Keisei Skyliner - the fastest!
You will be at Nippori Station, a convenient station in Tokyo, in 36 minutes. Also stops at Ueno in 41 minutes. Personally I like Skyliner the best because the train cars are very confortable.
2,470 yen, 36 minutes to Nippori (Keisei lines have slower and cheaper options as well.)

2: Airport Limousine - door to door!
Its biggest feature is that Airport Limousine buses take you from Narita Airport to major hotels in Tokyo! While relaxing, you'll arrive at your hotel lobby. Check whether it stops when you book a hotel.
Around 3,000 yen, 80 minutes (depends on your destination)

3: JR Narita Express - direct access to major districts!
If you book a hotel in Tokyo Station, Shinagawa, Shibuya, Shinjuku, or Yokohama, you'll get to these stations directly from Narita Airport.
3,020 yen, 59 minutes to Tokyo Station
