How to get your destination by train from Narita Airport
There are two methods. First of all, the train.
- Tell the ticket salesperson that you cannot speak Japanese.
- It is easier to convey if you write the destination in English and Japanese on your notebook or smartphone.
※Most Japanese can read English but some have difficulty with listening comprehension. - Use google translate to ask Japanese. There must be someone who can help.
- The route search app will also help.
The introduction of the app is also at the end of this article.
If you arrival Terninal 3, please move to another terminal.
There is a free bus running between the terminals.
The train platform is on 2nd basement floor.
Reference
Please check your airlines to see which terminal you will arrive at.
- If you do not know the fare to your destination, it is recommended to tell the ticketing officer at the counter.
- JR(Rapid, Express) and Keisei(Skyliner, Skyaccess, and others) are running from Narita Airport.
