From Narita Airport to Tokyo Station

There are many ways to reach Higashi-koganei from Narita Airport, we recommend the most convenient and the fastest way. Take the JR-line called Narita Express (N'EX). Change trains at Tokyo Station to reach Higashi-koganei.First buy a ticket to Higashi-Koganei at JR Narita Airport Station together with a ticket for the Narita Express to Tokyo Station with seat reservation.
(Fare:1890yen + N'EX 1660yen = 3550yen for one way.)
(You may be recommended to buy a ticket for Narita Express to 'Shinjuku', instead of 'Tokyo'. But buy a Narita Express Ticket to 'Tokyo'.)Get off Narita Express at Tokyo Station. It is not the first or the last station, but there will be English announcements and you will not miss it. It takes about one hour. You arrive at No.1/No.2 (basement-platform.)[Option-1 : JR rapid trains are also available. For rapid trains you do not need a N'EX ticket (which also includes seat reservation fee, so saving 1660 yen). Inside these trains there are no English announcements.
It takes about 30 minutes longer than the N'EX.[Option-2 : Narita express has two routes for Ikebukuro via Tokyo and Shunjuku stations and for Ofuna via Tokyo station. We recommend the train for Ikebukuro direction. This stops both Tokyo and Shinjuku stations at which you can transfer Chuo-line. Buy a ticket for Narita Express to 'Shinjuku', instead of 'Tokyo' and transfer at Shinjuku station to Chuo-line, If you want to feel more relax !
