Thank you for literally walking us through the station. My siblings and I are due to arrive next Friday and have never taken a train. Your video has greatly eased my anxiety, especially since we'll be heading to Ueno first. I really appreciate your clear and concise instructions, thank you! ♥️
One of the most useful videos I've ever seen Ty so much! Im doing a trip in a couple of months, and this is the exact train I'll need to take because I'm staying near Oji station.
Thank you so much for watching! in the video I just showed buying a ticket to Nippori Station. but if you are going to Oji station, please buy a ticket going to Oji station. Maybe it's easier to buy a ticket going to Oji station at the ticket counter of Keisei (instead of buy at a ticket machine). That way you don't need to stop and buy a JR ticket at Nippori Station, and you can use just 1 ticket to go all the way to Oji station. I hope you'll have a great trip! 😊
The video was very informative and well-produced. I especially liked the fact that the host showed the difference between the different train options. I think this would be very helpful for first-time visitors to Tokyo. What is your favorite thing to do in Tokyo?
Thank you for this informative video! I noticed that the video has a lot of Kenty Skyliner XD I am an big fan of Kenty, and I hope I can ride the Kenty Skyliner when I go to Tokyo soon
I was actually confused by this the last time when I got to Nippori. I didn't realize when I got off, it was where I should have bought my ticket for the JR line. I just put in the Skyliner ticket I bought at Narita into the gate and it let me in, but there was no place for me to buy a ticket at that point. I ended taking the train to Shinjuku and explaining to the attendant at the gate that I didn't have a ticket from Nippori and they just charged me that fare amount to let me out of the station.
The Skyliner has been more convenient for me than the Skyliner since my preferred place to stay in Tokyo is in Asakusa. It was no big deal for me to go from Tawaramachi a couple stops over to Ueno and to the train.
hi, it's an airport train so it has space. it just doesn't have a dedicated space for large luggages. people just keep their luggages with them while they stand or sit on the train. you can have up to 2 big luggages (i think around 250cm or so).
11:48 anybody knows why does she have to insert the Liner ticket prior to the IC card to transfer to the Yamanote line, rather than just using the IC card alone ? Otherwise great video, very useful :)
@@ONEGOODDREAM Thank you very much for your response. Now I have another question, how do I go through the ticket gates if I don't have an IC Card? I would be very grateful for your answer again.
no problem! if you buy a ticket (no IC card), your ticket should be 2570yen (see 6:49). then you just insert the ticket at the ticket gate and get in 7:33. remember to get your ticket back at the ticket gate when you get in, because you will need it to insert at the ticket gate when you get out. when you get out, the gate will keep the ticket.
the Skyliner is at platform number 1. but there are 2 trains using the same platform. so you need to see the train design, and the departure time on your ticket to make sure you get on the right train.
Thank you for creating this great video.. It’s very simple and easy to understand about the Skyliner especially for the first timer traveller to Japan like me.. One question I’d like to make sure is what sleepabout the maximum size of suitcase that can be brought inside the Skyliner? My suitcase is large size, 32inch, is it possible to bring it on the train?
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 yes you can bring it on the train. there's a space to store it. if you're early, you can leave your suitcase there. if not, you can just keep it at your seat.
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 you can use an IC card to pay for the passenger ticket of the Skyliner, but you still need to buy the Liner ticket in order to get on the Skyliner. (because the Skyliner requires passenger ticket + liner ticket) I think the video at 5:11 can help explain better.
Thank you for the very clear, concise and informative video. I want to ask if I want to take the Shinkansen train to Nagano, which stop should I take to switch to JR Line?
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 I'm not sure about that. there's usually a reserved space for wheelchair seats. when you buy the tickets, just tell them your request about wheelchair and they will help you out. there'll be a station staff taking you all the way to the train and to your seat.hope this helps.
Super video. Thank you very much. One question: on vending machine - reservation of the seats are provided together with buying the tickets or after that? 😊 Jan
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 a passenger ticket/basic ticket is to get on a train. a liner/express/bullet train ticket is to get a reserved seat on an express/bullet train. an IC card can only pay for a passenger ticket at the entrance/exit gate.
@@ONEGOODDREAM Thank you! That's clearer now. I also saw one video where he only used 1 liner ticket to get in the train by inserting it at the gate. He got it from a voucher he bought online though, not sure how that is different.
Great job! How does this work if you ordered online and have your Suica on your iPhone? Leaving from the airport to your hotel no stress however going to the airport where you need to catch your airplane is a different circus, amirite?
Yes, for this particular train you do. You buy a specific 'Liner' ticket (1300yen) and put that in the ticket gate machine, and scan your Suica at the same time (and it will be charged 1257yen). The Suica is for the general passenger charge and the 'Liner' ticket is a separate charge.
@@ChuckieMcHaggis and when i arrive at Ueno station i have to exit through the ticket gate machine again, do i put the liner ticket and suica again when i leave the railway platform? does the liner ticket than stay in the ticket machine and i can switch to JR lines with my IC Card? Or how does the exiting work from skyliner?
Best video so far. I love your beautiful voice, so nice and comforting :) . We will be arrive there on Dec 23 and have to go to Nappori station to catch a train to our hotel in Kawaguchi . Do the machine take virtual Suica card from iphone?. I did not see a card reader there on the machine, maybe have to use a physical IC card. Thanks
Thank you so much!🙏 you're right, seems like the old machines do not take virtual suica card. in that case, it's best to just buy a paper ticket from Narita all the way to Kawaguchi at the ticket counter. other cases you can use the virtual card pretty much any where. you can even charge the virtual suica card at ticket vending machines like a physical card. due to the chip shortage, they've stopped selling the physical ic card. even stopped selling the Welcome Suica card at Narita Airport from Dec 18 2023.
@@ONEGOODDREAM We need to get a physical IC card somewhere for a family member who does not have an iphone to install virtual IC card. What are other options do we have if there is no IC card available?
@@jamescc2010 you can buy a Pasmo Passport card (paid by cash only) at a ticket counter at Keisei station at Narita Airport (right across the hall of the JR station). or you can buy a Welcome Suica card later at major JR stations like Shinjuku station, Shibuya, Tokyo Station. else, you have to buy a paper ticket every time.
very informative video , thank you, whilst i am travelling around japan visiting places is it just tokyo i need to aviod rush hour on public transport, how about kanazawa or osaka? its a bit of a pain watiing till 10 am to be able to start a day trip
Let's say I purchase a Keisei Skyliner ticket online, I can claim the ticket at the machine right? But does the vending machines have a time limit? perhaps limited operation time? I am expected to arrive at Narita T2 at 20:10.
@@ONEGOODDREAM U pretty much could actually! Got mine on an app, it's called a voucher. And I think u're supposed to scan the QR or something at the machine or the counter to claim the ticket. That's what I read at least ahahah. And thanks for the confirmation! really appreciate it.
@@michelle1223 hi, if im not wrong u should get a qr which u could scan at the machine. In any case, there’s always a guy there who can help u work through the machine to claim ur physical tickets so no worries.
While I was in the vicinity of Ueno Station, I purchased the Skyliner tickets to Narita Airport in advance. Do you know whether that ticket allows me to board the Skykiner from Nippori Station instead of Ueno Station? Thanks
the Skyliner is a reserved train so basically you have to get on the train that you bought. if you want to board it from Nippori, you can return the ticket and buy a new one departing from Nippori.
Hello, this may be a stupid question, but in the case we get the tickets without IC card, do we insert the two tickets (passenger ticket+liner ticket) at the same time, or one after the other, or one pick up then next and pick up? 😅
hi, if you buy a ticket without using ic card at all, the 2 tickets (passenger + liner) will be combined into one. so you'll have only 1 ticket in your hand^^
The best video which describes what I want to know! 🎉Only other question I have is if there's a limit on number of luggages you can bring in and size of luggage allowed ☺️
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 you can bring up to 2 large suitcases beside your personal items like backpacks. the space for storing large suitcases is quite limited. so you may want to come to the platform early as it's first come first serve for that storage. but the leg space is quite generous enough to keep a large suitcase at your seat (if you have to)
Hello! Thank you very much for the video, it helps a lot for a beginner like me for a first timer in Tokyo. I want to ask regarding the ticket to ikebukuro from nippori. On the video at 11:50, If I have a SUICA card, I still need to put my liner ticket inside the machine to pay? Thank you!
HI! Thank you so much for watching!🙏 if you have a Suica card, you can buy the ticket like I did at 6:53. and at entrance gate, you need both, ticket + Suica, at 7:34. and the same when you exit the Skyliner at Nippori, ticket + Suica. The gate at 11:50 is a 2-in-1 gate, it lets you get out of the Skyliner and into the JR station at the same time, so when you tap the Suica card there, it will end your trip on the Skyliner and begin your trip on a JR train. When you get off at Ikebukuro, you just tap the Suica only. If you buy a train ticket, please keep it at all time because you need to insert the ticket at the exit gate at your arrival station. (if you lose the ticket, you may have to pay for it again at the arrival station) hope this helps..
Hello... thank you, I thought your video was great but I was wondering if you could tell me how to get from Narita airport to Oshiage Station (sky tree)? And can I buy the ticket in advance from Canada?
Hai thanks for the video, very informative. How about we buy the skyliner ticket with app like klook can we reedem it on the vending machine? Bcos we will be arrive at narita around 9pm
Hi, appreciate your contents. Just want to ask where to get the ticket gate assuming I have IC card (11:50)? Thanks. Hope you notice or someone pls answer if you know.
hi, you can take the Narita Express or bus to Tokyo Station, leave your luggages at a coin locker and take a walk in the area around the station (Imperial Palace, bus tour...anime characters street, ramen street in the basement of Tokyo Station). getting to HANEDA Airport from Tokyo Station is only around 30min.
Great Video! Very informative and nicely explained for a first time visitor like me. When I have both passenger ticket and Liner ticket, which one needs to be put first in the slot of the platform gate? when I use the machine to buy 3 adults tickets in a single transaction, can I select seats for each passenger? Which side of the train would you recommend for better view?
thank you so much! 🙏 if you buy both passenger and liner ticket, they gonna be combined into 1 ticket, so no worries, just insert that ticket at the gate. the left side of the train is the same side with Tokyo Skytree, but the Skyliner machines don't let you choose seat from a seat map. you can only choose window/aisle seats.
This is actually the best video explaining the Skyliner in the whole internet.
Thank you so much for watching!🙏

Best video so far about Jr and trains
Thank you so much!🙏
Are you kidding?... This is just *not* about JR trains, it's about a Keisei train. I wonder if you have really listened to the video.
5:16 most important bit, thanks.
skyliner, requires 2 ticket = passenger ticket (can use IC card) + liner ticket
yes, you're right! thanks!
If you don't have IC Card, then you have to buy one passenger ticket, right?
This is probably the best video about commuting from NRT to Tokyo (Nippori). Thanks so much.

Thank you for the very informative videos! I was wondering if we could use our mobile suica/pasmo to charge at Narita Terminal?
Thank you so much!🙏 Yes you can charge your mobile Suica at ticket machines at NARITA Airport (check the JR station)
Hello, this may be a stupid question, but in the case we get the tickets without IC card, do we insert the two tickets (passenger ticket+liner ticket) at the same time, or one after the other, or one pick up then next and pick up? 😅
hi, if you buy a ticket without using ic card at all, the 2 tickets (passenger + liner) will be combined into one. so you'll have only 1 ticket in your hand^^
@@ONEGOODDREAM Oh I see, thank you very much for your reply! This will be very helpful^^
Nice video! Just 1 question. Can i take an Skyliner from Terminal 1 or i should move to Terminal 2?
Thank you so much!🙏 yes you can take the Skyliner from T1.
The best video which describes what I want to know! 🎉Only other question I have is if there's a limit on number of luggages you can bring in and size of luggage allowed ☺️
Thank you so much!🙏 technically you can bring up to 2 large suitcases.
Hi! Appreciate the well informed video 😁 how about luggages? Can we store them while boarding the train? Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 you can bring up to 2 large suitcases beside your personal items like backpacks. the space for storing large suitcases is quite limited. so you may want to come to the platform early as it's first come first serve for that storage. but the leg space is quite generous enough to keep a large suitcase at your seat (if you have to)
Hello! Thank you very much for the video, it helps a lot for a beginner like me for a first timer in Tokyo. I want to ask regarding the ticket to ikebukuro from nippori. On the video at 11:50, If I have a SUICA card, I still need to put my liner ticket inside the machine to pay? Thank you!
HI! Thank you so much for watching!🙏 if you have a Suica card, you can buy the ticket like I did at 6:53. and at entrance gate, you need both, ticket + Suica, at 7:34. and the same when you exit the Skyliner at Nippori, ticket + Suica. The gate at 11:50 is a 2-in-1 gate, it lets you get out of the Skyliner and into the JR station at the same time, so when you tap the Suica card there, it will end your trip on the Skyliner and begin your trip on a JR train. When you get off at Ikebukuro, you just tap the Suica only. If you buy a train ticket, please keep it at all time because you need to insert the ticket at the exit gate at your arrival station. (if you lose the ticket, you may have to pay for it again at the arrival station) hope this helps..
@@ONEGOODDREAM Great, thank you very much for the information!😁
Hello... thank you, I thought your video was great but I was wondering if you could tell me how to get from Narita airport to Oshiage Station (sky tree)? And can I buy the ticket in advance from Canada?
Do you have to change trains for Ueno? You didn’t mention this station
no you don't have to, this train goes directly to Ueno, no transfer.
this is a wonderful video thanks :)
1 question: what about luggage in the skyliner?
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 you can bring up to 2 large suitcases beside your personal items like backpacks.
Hai thanks for the video, very informative. How about we buy the skyliner ticket with app like klook can we reedem it on the vending machine? Bcos we will be arrive at narita around 9pm
hi, i have no idea about that app... but you can buy at the ticket machines anytime.
Very good video!
Thank you so much!🙏
Hello, is the first train from Tokyo to Narita (5:40 am) very busy on a Sunday ?
Hi, trains are usually a lot less busy during weekends.
Hi, appreciate your contents. Just want to ask where to get the ticket gate assuming I have IC card (11:50)? Thanks. Hope you notice or someone pls answer if you know.
Hi, the ticket gate is right next to the ticket counter.
Hi! I have 8-hr Layover with Airport Change from NRT to HND- can i do anything? Any suggestion what to see for a quick tour. Thanks!
hi, you can take the Narita Express or bus to Tokyo Station, leave your luggages at a coin locker and take a walk in the area around the station (Imperial Palace, bus tour...anime characters street, ramen street in the basement of Tokyo Station). getting to HANEDA Airport from Tokyo Station is only around 30min.
thanks so much
thank you so much!🙏
Excellent
Thank you so much for watching!🙏
Great Video! Very informative and nicely explained for a first time visitor like me. When I have both passenger ticket and Liner ticket, which one needs to be put first in the slot of the platform gate? when I use the machine to buy 3 adults tickets in a single transaction, can I select seats for each passenger? Which side of the train would you recommend for better view?
thank you so much! 🙏 if you buy both passenger and liner ticket, they gonna be combined into 1 ticket, so no worries, just insert that ticket at the gate. the left side of the train is the same side with Tokyo Skytree, but the Skyliner machines don't let you choose seat from a seat map. you can only choose window/aisle seats.
