Arrival at Narita Airport.. what's next?

Now you reached Narita airport in Tokyo, Japan. What should you do now? Well there are a few ways of getting to the city (for me, it will be the Tokyo area). See the following for your consideration:

1) Take the train from Narita station to Tokyo Station (Need to do some transfers at certain stations). But think it is the most cost saving and you should be able to get to Tokyo with a ¥2,000 budget.

2) Take the airport limousine bus (About ¥3,000). They will stop by major hotels and even if you don't stay there. It is easier for you to make your way to your accomodation venue in a cab.

3) Take a cab. Well, I tried that before (out of no choice but this is a story for another day). At that time, japanese yen was at the low side (S$1 will give me ¥70) and I still need to fork out about ¥28,000 for the 1.5 hour ride.

Frankly, I think airport limousine bus works the best for me especially if you have a number of luggages like us. I must warn you that you might need to walk quite a fair bit even with the train stations in Japan as they can be huge.

If you need help, just ask at the information counter at the airport. The staff speak English and will be happy to assist you.
