Airport Limousine Bus

Door To Door Transportation

If you are carrying a lot of luggage or traveling with children, the Airport Limousine Bus may be the best option for a stress-free ride into town. It's also a great way to catch some views of the city as you make your way through the city streets.

If you take the Tokyo train routes you will have to wrestle your baggage and/or coax your kids up hill and down dale as you make your way from platform to platform.

How to Book

When you get through customs and through to the entrance hall in Narita airport, you will see the counter for the Airport Limousine Bus service straight in front of you. This is where you book and pay for your tickets to your selected destination.

Once you have your seats reserved you just need to go to the bus stands which are on the same level as the entrance hall so there are no stairs involved - just straight out and the bus stops are right there. If you happen to be a smoker this is also where you'll find the smoking areas so you can relax before you set off on the last leg of your journey into the city.

The other nice thing about this option is that there is no limit to your baggage so no matter how much you are carrying, there is nothing extra to pay.

Fares

An adult fare into the city of Tokyo will cost about ¥3,000, while children between and including 6 - 12 years old will pay half the adult rate.

You can get cheaper rates on the trains but then you don't have the luxury of just sitting back and enjoying the scenery until you arrive at your destination.

If you have a little one under 6 years old who is going to sit on your lap then there is no cost. If you want them to have an individual seat then the cost is the same as the normal child rate.

The bus has good sized seats so if you want to hold your toddler on your lap it is not an uncomfortable experience.

Special Offers

As a nice addition, there is a special discount ticket available, very similar to the deal mentioned in relation to the Narita Express.

Whereas the Narita Express train promotes a combination of their train ticket and the JR Suica Pass, the Narita Airport Limousine Bus promotes the purchase of your bus ticket with the Tokyo subway Pasmo pass.

It's a little bit of healthy competition between the overground and underground lines in effect - just pick whichever deal suits you the best at the beginning of your journey as there is little, if any, difference between the two.

It is possible to book your tickets up to a month in advance of your trip depending on your route.

Check with your travel agent or see the website of the Narita Airport Limousine Bus service for more details. Also see their website for an up to date list of the hotels that offer a door-to-door service to and from Narita Airport using the Limousine bus.
