Narita Express

If buying from a JR store extra discounts may be available to passengers with a foreign passport or of holder age.

[3] There are no extra charges required for the Narita Express service for foreign passengers traveling with a Japan Rail Pass.

Coming from Yaesu there is finally a hard left turn that will take passengers to automatic ticket checking gates (with a very small sign for Narita Express) towards the Yokosuka/Sōbu Line platforms (Sōbu 1-2).

[6] Until 1991, rail service to Narita Airport was limited to the Keisei Skyliner, which at the time used a station separated from the terminal complex.

JR had initially planned to run a high-speed line, the Narita Shinkansen, to a station underneath the main airport terminal.

[4] From the start of the revised timetable on 13 March 2010, Narita Express service frequencies were increased with more splitting and combining of trains at Tokyo Station.

[9] Narita Express services were suspended from 11 March 2011 due to the effects of the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami and subsequent power supply shortage in the Tokyo area.

[10] They were partially restored from 4 April 2011, with the remaining pre-earthquake and tsunami timetable and services finally re-instated on 3 September 2011.

[16] All services were reinstated on 1 October 2022 prior to Japan lifting its entry restrictions for foreign travelers.

[17][18] Outside of peak commuter times about one out of every two services continue to stop at Chiba, with the others running nonstop between Tokyo and the airport.
