Tokyo → Narita Airport, the Cheapest Route

What’s the cheapest way from Tokyo to Narita Airport? It’s not the train. Certainly we can rule taxis out. The best and easiest is actually the bus, and it’s so simple! ¥1000 ($10) one way leaving every 10 minutes — suit cases stored underneath while you ride high with nice views of the countryside via highway.

I actually contemplated using the ¥1000 buses from Narita to Tokyo when I arrived but opted to use the Limousine bus instead. The cheaper buses will allow you one check in luggage and will require a taxi transfer once you get to Tokyo or Ginza station unless your hotel is walking distance from those stations. The limousine bus service though is more expensive, does allow two checked luggages and have stops at various hotels around the city. The extra luggage capacity will save you on luggage shipping services which can cost upwards of ¥2678 yen per suitcase. Also you will save on taxi fare as well which can vary. Taxis have limited luggage space so if you are traveling with more than 3 people in your party, you may need additional taxis to carry extra luggage and people. For a business traveler with minimal luggage, these ¥1000 buses are fantastic. However for the tourist traveler especially in the colder winter months with lots of luggage, other buses or trains maybe cheaper overall.

Great follow up!! I wish I had you out there in the episode with me to give another POV :) I'm sure to do another one FROM NARITA to TOKYO next time! Stay warm in Yuzawa ... or now Tohoku?

I was going down the slopes at Kagura during your live stream so I didn’t get to watch it till later that day. Today, we’re in Aomori and about to go get some breakfast at the fish market :).

This bus is also great for those with early flights as the first bus leaves for Narita a few hours before the first flight out of Narita - especially the budget terminal. '
