From airport
~10 min
Get off at
Keisei Narita / JR Narita

Narita town shares its rail lines with the airport, so it's easy to reach - and trivial if you're already at the terminals. From central Tokyo you've got a fast option (Skyliner) and a cheaper, slightly slower one (the Keisei main line or JR).

    The routes

    • Keisei Skyliner from Ueno/Nippori: fastest at ~60 min, but it's an airport express (confirm it stops or change at the airport for the town)
    • Keisei main line (Limited Express): cheaper, ~75-80 min, direct to Keisei-Narita station for the temple
    • JR from Tokyo Station (Sobu/Narita line): ~80 min to JR Narita station
    • From Narita Airport: ~10 min to Keisei-Narita / JR Narita - get off in town, don't go all the way to the terminals

    For the temple

    Aim for Keisei-Narita or JR Narita station - both sit at the top of the Omotesando approach street, a 10-15 minute downhill walk to the temple. If you're on a layover, the ~10-minute hop from the airport plus station lockers makes a quick visit very doable.
