“Narita Airport” has the highest airport utilization rate in Japan! but…
You don’t know the location of the airport to each place of Tokyo!

- N’EX (NaritaExpress JR)
You can get to the main stations in Tokyo quickly without changing trains, but it is the most expensive train trip. - SKYLINER (Keisei Line)

It’s easy to get to your destination without any transfers, but the price is quite high.
