Narita International Airport is one of the most common airports for foreign travelers to come through when visiting Japan. And it's actually about 80 km (50 miles) away from Tokyo. Unfortunately, after a long plane ride you still need to make your way to Tokyo. Your first thought might be to take a taxi but they are very expensive and using public transportation is one of the quickest and financially reasonable ways to get to your destination. The Tokyo metro area has one of the advanced and efficient subway and railways systems in the world and it might be difficult to navigate through this massive system at first, so here is some tips on how to get to Tokyo Station from Narita Airport and vice versa. Then after you have settled into your hotel, why not sign up for a walking tour and see this city through the eyes of a local.

Bus


If you are on a limited budget or want to enjoy the city views than taking a bus is one option. In Japan, the price of the fare is determined on how far you travel from your starting point, the greater the distance you travel the more the fare will cost. Most bus lines take you to major train stations, such as Tokyo Station and the limousine buses have ample space for any large luggage and some may offer a direct stop at your hotel.
