5 Star Tip‬: A great way to get from Narita International Airport (NRT) to Tokyo area is the Narita Express. The train takes approximately 65-75 minutes, depending on your stop. Hiring private transportation or shuttle bus can take over two hours with traffic to get into Tokyo. Here are ‪Always 5 Star‬ tips for taking the Narita Express (N’EX) train from the Narita International Airport:

After exiting immigration and customs at NRT, take the escalator down to the train station. It is clearly marked in English.

Purchase your tickets at the ticket counter – the staff there is very helpful and friendly and speak English.

Purchase first class tickets. Even though they are a bit more expensive, it is well worth it. You have assigned seats where you can store all your luggage close by you and the seats are large and comfortable.

The first class compartment has a large restroom area as well.

When arriving at either Tokyo station or Shinjuku station – upon exiting the train, you can easily get a taxi service to your hotel. We arrived at Shinjuku station and it was a 10 minutes taxi (very nice taxi) ride to Park Hyatt Tokyo
