As someone that reviewed this video and did the exact same path, Thanks. This is the best way to get from Narita to Asakusa. But few things should be made more clear 1) If you have an IC card don't buy a paper ticket. The IC card basically is your train ticket and is the standard way to get on a train. Although you can by a paper ticket with an IC card that actually is a waste of time. 2) When you get to the train platform, it will not say "Asakusa" anywhere as the train destination. The train line changes names before it gets to "Asakusa" but it is the same train that leaves the airport. If in doubt, use Google Maps to figure out what time the train arrives and get on it when it appears.
True, this is almost like a local train, with IC card you tap it at the gate, ticket isn't necessary. I thought the train destination was Haneda Airport, no?
I got off at Asakusa station so not 100% sure but I believe it does go to Haneda Airport if you just sat on the train. At 2:26 the video you can the signage in Narita terminal just has the next destination which is "Narita Yukawa Station". Later in the video at 2:51 after riding the train for over an hour is the first time you see "Asakusa". So, just sort of nerve racking unless you memorized all the stations between Narita and Asakusa to know your going the correct way.
point number 1>> so if I already have IC card, just tap it like we use regular train right? and tap out again on Asakusa Station with out the ticket paper?? thank you!
Your video is so very appreciated. I'll be in Japan on November and was getting quite anxious about transportation from Narita to Asakusa... and you totally nailed it with this video. Your narration is absolutely friendly and easy to follow. God bless you and your continued content creation 🙏.
Thank you! 😊 I actually had the same problem when I went to Tokyo last June, I had to look all over for a video on how to get to Asakusa from Narita especially since my flight arrived at 8pm. And since I had the chance, I made one myself 😆
This video made it super doable for us now haha. Using google maps is a bit overwhelming as it has so many options. We're going on March and is very intimidated by Japan's transport system so I'm trying to see the easiest and fool proof tutorial we can find as my husband and I suck at directions 😅 I have a whole itinerary to plan but this is a great start. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. We just booked our hotel for our first two nights in Japan just across from Asakusa Station. Now we know how to get there after our 12-hour flight. What a relief! Do you have a video about the IC card you mentioned, and how to get one? Thanks again 🙂
You're welcome! I don't have one but you can buy it from the machine, there should be an option there for an IC Card, if not you should be able to buy it from the train office once you land :)
It helps me a lot! I'm planning to go to Asakusa directly from Narita Airport Terminal 2. Your video is truly a blessing for me! Keep creating helpful videos! Cheers from Indonesia
This is a great video! I wish I could have known this last June. I didn't even know that you could use machines to buy tickets for the Sky Access. I just go into the ticket office. Also knowing the difference between the orange and blue platforms is helpful. The biggest problem I have is getting back from Nippori to Narita for the return flights. I pay for Sky Access, change at Takasago and end up taking a Rapid. Keisei staff are generally not very helpful, and always try to sell me tickets on the Skyliner service. I've only had 1 good experience with them, out of 5 attempts. Like I said, I wish I had seen this video last June. So now, I just take the bus to and from Tokyo Station. It's more straightforward.
I kinda get why they kept offering you the skyliner, it's a direct route to the airport from that area though a little more expensive. I hope this becomes helpful the next time you return to Japan. Oh and here is a tip, the sky access is basically a local train too, if you ever have a morning flight out from Haneda this line will be too much of a hassle. I experienced it first hand last May, I had a noon flight from Haneda to Osaka, I left very early and waited for the sky access from Asakusa Station and oh man, the train was JAM PACKED with commuters, I waited a little over 1hr and still I had to squezz and push myself in the train. My point is, sky Access in the morning going to Haneda is gonna be tough especially with big luggages. Just incase you have a morning flight out from Haneda 😆
@@EnjoyingLife.oh thanks for the information. I have a noon flight from narita to jakarta (around 11 AM). I stay in APA hotel asakusa. Do you have any recommendation?
@@ridhamuldina6938 If it's Narita then you're good, plus since you're in APA if i remember correctly exit A2B is just across from the hotel where the Elevator is located going down to the station hahaha
man this video gave me ptsd of the first time i did this on my first trip to japan, so stressful that we almost missed the train because i thought it was the wrong color than the pictures i saw online (i know, very dumb of me) im so glad the conductor went up to us and looked at our tickets and told us to get on. I remember waiting like an hour for that train too.
Very useful information and easy to understand. Thank you! Can you make a video going to Harry potter studio tour from Asakusa Station easy way, please? Thanks!
Glad it helps 😁 It might be a little difficult to make a video about it for a while until I return to Tokyo, but I will make one in the future. Thank you for watching my "How to" Vlog 😁
Does the Skyaccess train require an additional ticket like some limited express trains? Or is just tapping your IC card at the gate in and out okay? Thanks so much this video is extremely helpful!
It's just like a commuter train, just tap on in 😀 Just make sure you get on the right train because the "Sky Access Skyliner" also departs from the same platform and that train is all reserved seating.
Thanks, I regret to say that it does not, I tried it but the machine didn't accept the pass at the airport since it's not part of the Tokyo subway anymore.
Wonderful!! Just a question, if i have suica card on apple wallet, should I buy still get ticket or just tap and proceed without any tickets? I saw couple of other videos where ppl still buy tickets even after holding suica card. Since you been recently i want to know from you.
I haven't tried a suica card on apple wallet yet, but yes, you can use your phone and just tap without getting a physical card. I've seen a lot of people Tap their phones on the sensor without useing a ticket/card. For reference you can check out this guys channel :) th-cam.com/video/WItgsorXiSA/w-d-xo.html
@@nithinb790 I purchased the ticket with my IC Card, but you can also buy with Cash or Card (debit/credit). But if you already have an IC Card/apple wallet you don't have to buy a ticket, you can just tap it instead, just make sure it has enough balance 😃
Thank you for the feedback! 😁 There is an option for a child ticket, I am just not sure about infant ticket. I think it would be best to inquire with a staff regarding the said ticket, it will also help you to know if you will need an infant ticket whenever you ride a train or if it's free 😃 Chances are it'll be free, but again please inquire with a staff to be more certain 😁
Hi! Thanks for the video! This one helps a lot! But, I have 2 small questions 😄 Can I follow the same steps to reach "A-09 Daimon St"? And is there any difference between the Skyaccess that goes to Nippori vs the one that goes on the Asakusa line? I see that both seem to be colored with orange at start of the line.
Hi! So I just checked google this morning, it say that sky access also stops at Daimon Station via direct route, so no changes. :) -note: you can always check with google regarding your destination, just type in (example) Narita Airport to Daimon Station, then click the train Icon, it'll show you all the trains you can take.- As for your 2nd inquiry, I believe (please don't quote me on this) that the Skyliner is the one that travels to Nippori-Ueno Station, if so that's different from the Sky Access. (Safer to ask an attendant when in doubt 😅😃)
Thank you for this! So there are no transfers right? direct to Asakusa? I heard in the afternoon there might be a transfer? Also, where do we buy the IC card at Narita airport? and do you have a video showing how to get from Kyoto station to KIX? thanks!
1. Yes it's direct 😃 2. Check the train schedules but it's supposed to be direct, I mainly use google to check it. 3. Try the ticket office or a tourist information center, I'm not entirely sure if you could also get it from a Machine. 4. I do, it's set to be uploaded tomorrow so drop by again by then 😆
video is of great help. just want to ask. at Aoto station, do you need to switch trains to Asakusa? i see from the train map, the orange line splits to nippori & another to asakusa direction. is this where the train splits?
Just saw your video and this is exactly what I looking for! I wanted to use this train to get to asakusa station. 1 question, when you board this train to asakusa station, do we have to transfer to other line in station between narita and asakusa or it is a direct, you hop in at narita and hop off in asakusa?
@@EnjoyingLife. not even change platform? wow, its a hidden tricks if you want to go from narita to tokyo aside from using skyliner or JR Nex. There are not many tourist knowing this stuff. Thank you for your reply!
@@arcticmooy for reference, you can always search on google once you arrive and gain access to a wifi. Just search "Narita Terminal 2 to Asakusa" then click the train option. You'll see all the schedules there within the hour or so with the number of stops, time of departure, platform number and if there will be transfers. It's good to check it, just so you don't get on the wrong train :) But yes, sky access is a direct route which is very convinient, just don't miss your stop since it is not the last station haha
@@EnjoyingLife. very nice of you giving me all the excellent details like that. Noted! I will try your suggestion next September when I get there haha. Thank you very much for your info, appreciate it. May you have a good life and travel ahead! :D
Trains usually stop operating around midnight, but it would be better to leave earlier than that because taxi's can be expensive if you miss the train 😅
Hi. Thank you for this detailed video. I have a question though. I have to stop at A12 (Takaracho Station) as per google maps however, I noticed in your video that there is no button for A12. Which button should I press to arrive on this stop?
at around 1:20 you can see an option to search by station name :) now if you have an IC Card you don't need to worry about a ticket, just tap your card at the gate and enter, make sure you're on the right train and just get off at A12 :)
Hello, thank you SO much for your video, I’m going to Japan soon and my biggest worry is to go back from Asakusa to Narita Airport, can I do this same line back from Asakusa to the airport? I can’t find this info on google maps 😟
Yes you can, you can also type in google "Asakusa Station to Narita Airport" this will show you the time of departure of the sky access from Asakusa :)
Thank you for the video. I want to go to Narita Airport from Asakusa Station. does the train arrive directly at the airport without moving or getting off the train? Thank you
Yes you can, as long as it has enough funds. Now do keep in mind that the Sky Access and Skyliner are both located on platform 1, so please be sure to get on the right train :) there are 2, but don't worry, the station that the sky access stops at is the one near Senso-Ji Temple stop (A18) on the Toie Asakusa Line :)
Hello, thank you for this video. It is very helpful as I am taking the same route Narita to Asakusa. I am arriving in terminal 1. Did you do this video in terminal 1?
Hey man thanks for sharing! I am planning to use this Sky Access from Narita to Haneda. So I should just stay on board all the way right? No transfers. Can I buy the ticket in advance online for Sky Access from Narita to Haneda? And if I buy at Narita, can I pay by credit card?
Hello! so I read ln the link below that Yes there are some trains that connect Narita to Haneda and that one of them is the "Sky Access" more specifically, the one that passess thru the Asakusa Line. From what I read it should be a direct route between airports, but it will be easier to ask a ground staff for a more accurate answer :) I don't think you can buy a ticket for the sky access in advance since it is not a reserved seating train, it's more like their commuter trains really. Source: www.japan-guide.com - And yes you can buy a ticket on the machine using a credit/debit card 🙂 Source: jrailpass.com
In your example, you chose A18 (@1:23) as the destination. Can I choose A9 (Daimon station)? That's where I want to go. I didn't see A9 displayed on the screen to be chosen! How do I do it? Thank you.
thanks for the tip, if i already have Suica card APP in my phone with enough money loaded, I dont need to buy any extra ticket right? can i just go straigh in?
Hi Dude - I need to travel from Narita T2 to Japan Bridge station by sky access and take a metro to Kagurazaka. Q1: Which station is Japan Bridge station in the list of station in your video? Q2: Do I need to buy Sky access and Metro tickets separately? Q3: Where do I get metro tickets?
Hi, I checked the route from Narita to Kagurazaka on google and the info I got is as follows. [Q1] Not sure about the (Japan Bridge Station) but when I searched for the route it gave me (Nihombashi Station) which is (A13) along the sky access route. For this you can search on google the following "Narita Airport to Kaguraka Station" then click on the train option, this will show the route you'll need to ride on. This works for all searches, just type in "Starting station to End station" :) [Q2] If you have the IC Card with enough credit balance, you don't really need to buy the tickets for the sky access and the metro tickets. Just Tap away 😁 The sky access is a commuter type train and is different from the skyliner, I'm just saying it here because they depart at the same platform from Narita T2. Now if you don't have an IC Card, then you will have to buy a ticket for the sky access and once you reach your first stop, [Q3] you can just buy another ticket on that station for kagurazaka. Hope this helps, enjoy your trip! Remember, when in doubt ask the train staff 😆
Hi thanks for the video. I have to go to Kuramae Station (A17) as it is the closest to my hotel. How do I use the skyacces in this case as I did not see A17 in the options to select the station?
The one on the video is the Sky Access, It's a commuter train setup. The Skyliner is a limited express with reserved seating and yes it has an onboard toilet.
Hello, are you talking about the Skyliner + Tokyo subway by klook? If so I am not sure. I just searched in klook but only the skyliner pops up, no sky access, the 2 trains are different. But if you already have a skyliner ticket, It could be a waste to get a sky access ticket because you'll have to choose between the 2 to get to your destination. Just for reference: Sky Access - Direct, no transfers to Asakusa Sta. Fron Narita No reserved seating, as seen in the video Skyliner - no direct route to Asakusa Sta. from Narita, Transfer needed. Skyliner has reserved seating
hello , i m writing from italy , i will be in Tokyo in late November , i want to know if it is possibile to use a Pasmo Card ( and therefore avoid buying the ticket at the ATM like you did) given that now on iPhones you can "virtually" buy a Pasmo and insert a deposit of money inside it, thanks and congratulations for the video
No, the Sky Access is a direct route from Narita Terminal 1•2•3 to Asakusa, but do bare in mind that it is not the last stop, so listen carefully to the announcement 😃
if you used a ticket to enter you need to use it again to exit, no need for ic card. now if you used an ic card to enter, you can just tap going out your destination station. you don't have to buy a physical ticket if you already have an ic card with enough balance/load 🙂
Hi! I'm a bit confused. I'm having the option of getting an IC Card instead of buying a ticket. Will I pass through the fare gate if I could just tap my purchased Pasmo Passport (with enough credits)?
May I ask, if coming from Hotel Amanek Asakusa Ekimae back to Narita Terminal 3, can I use the Keisei Access Express line and buy the ticket from Asakusa Station? Thanks
Yes, but you'll need to check the schedule. Eitherway you can also ride the "Asakusa Line Airport - Rapid - Limited Express" towards Narita. They both take around 1hr to get to the airport. My advice is to search with google as it shows which trains can take you to the airport. Kesei and Asakusa Rapid both have direct routes :) Just type "Asakusa Station to Narita" on google and click the train to see the schedule :)
Good question, both trains are run through the keisei line, The sky Access is a commuter like train with no reserve seatings while the Skyliner is an all reserved seating train. The Skyliner is also a little more expensive than than Sky Access. - example: The sky Access can get you directly to Asakusa Station while with the Skyliner you would have to transfer to a different train (commuter train) to get to Asakusa. - note that they both depart from the same platform, so be sure to get on the right train. Also, don't get confused, because on the screens on the platform, they show "Sky Access Skyliner" this notice is for the reserved seating "Skyliner" and not for the commuter train "Sky Access"
If you're going to ride the Sky Access, Yes, they make announcements on what train is arriving on the platform so please listen carefully they also have those little signages that shows info by the platform.. If I'm right the skyliner also arrives at platform 1, so again please be aware of the train you will get on 🙂
You can ride the sky access until Aoto Station and then transfer there onto the blue Keisei line going to Ueno. You could also ride the Skyliner for a direct route to Nippori, though this one is a little more pricey.
There are, but some exits don't have it, I exited via A4 and I can tell you I'm glad I only had a small carry-on luggage. If I remember correctly though, I think there was an Elevator by exit A2b.
As far as I know, it doesn't. The one that goes straight to Ueno is the skyliner, it's on the same platform as the Sky Access (Platform 1) It's a bit more pricey because it's a limited express train but it's more comfy because it's all reserved seating.
As someone that reviewed this video and did the exact same path, Thanks. This is the best way to get from Narita to Asakusa. But few things should be made more clear

Also, where do we buy the IC card at Narita airport? and do you have a video showing how to get from Kyoto station to KIX? thanks!
1. Yes it's direct 😃
2. Check the train schedules but it's supposed to be direct, I mainly use google to check it.
3. Try the ticket office or a tourist information center, I'm not entirely sure if you could also get it from a Machine.
4. I do, it's set to be uploaded tomorrow
so drop by again by then 😆
video is of great help. just want to ask. at Aoto station, do you need to switch trains to Asakusa? i see from the train map, the orange line splits to nippori & another to asakusa direction. is this where the train splits?
The sky access is a straight line from Narita Airport to Asakusa :)
I am arriving at 8PM at T-1. Same destination. Hopefully I can get a no connection train.
You will, my flight for this video also landed at 8pm 😃
Thank you for your clear explanation !
You're welcome 😁
Just saw your video and this is exactly what I looking for! I wanted to use this train to get to asakusa station.
1 question, when you board this train to asakusa station, do we have to transfer to other line in station between narita and asakusa or it is a direct, you hop in at narita and hop off in asakusa?
No transfers, it's a direct route between Narita and Asakusa, and vice versa.
@@EnjoyingLife. not even change platform? wow, its a hidden tricks if you want to go from narita to tokyo aside from using skyliner or JR Nex. There are not many tourist knowing this stuff. Thank you for your reply!
@@arcticmooy for reference, you can always search on google once you arrive and gain access to a wifi.
Just search "Narita Terminal 2 to Asakusa" then click the train option.
You'll see all the schedules there within the hour or so with the number of stops, time of departure, platform number and if there will be transfers.
It's good to check it, just so you don't get on the wrong train :)
But yes, sky access is a direct route which is very convinient, just don't miss your stop since it is not the last station haha
@@EnjoyingLife. very nice of you giving me all the excellent details like that.
Noted! I will try your suggestion next September when I get there haha.
Thank you very much for your info, appreciate it. May you have a good life and travel ahead! :D
@@arcticmooy safe travels!
Hi.. Thanks for the info.. May I know what is the time last train depart to Asakusa from Narita Airport 😊
Trains usually stop operating around midnight, but it would be better to leave earlier than that because taxi's can be expensive if you miss the train 😅
Hi. Thank you for this detailed video. I have a question though. I have to stop at A12 (Takaracho Station) as per google maps however, I noticed in your video that there is no button for A12. Which button should I press to arrive on this stop?
at around 1:20 you can see an option to search by station name :)
now if you have an IC Card you don't need to worry about a ticket, just tap your card at the gate and enter, make sure you're on the right train and just get off at A12 :)
@@EnjoyingLife. I'm planning to buy the pasmo passport though. I'll just do this then so I can just easily swipe and proceed to the station. Thanks :)
@@ddu6586 Enjoy your trip!
@@EnjoyingLife. thank you so much
@@ddu6586 You're welcome! ^_^
Very helpful thank you!!!
Glad it helps! 😁
Hello, thank you SO much for your video, I’m going to Japan soon and my biggest worry is to go back from Asakusa to Narita Airport, can I do this same line back from Asakusa to the airport? I can’t find this info on google maps 😟
Yes you can, you can also type in google "Asakusa Station to Narita Airport" this will show you the time of departure of the sky access from Asakusa :)
@ but the same line to go back from Asakusa to Narita is not straight as to go from the airport to Asakusa, right?
Thank you for the video. I want to go to Narita Airport from Asakusa Station. does the train arrive directly at the airport without moving or getting off the train? Thank you
Yes, make sure to get the right train though 😁
Hi
Can we directly enter the station to use sky access using "Welcome Suica"?
And are there multiple Asakusa station or just one?
Yes you can, as long as it has enough funds.
Now do keep in mind that the Sky Access and Skyliner are both located on platform 1, so please be sure to get on the right train :)
there are 2, but don't worry, the station that the sky access stops at is the one near Senso-Ji Temple stop (A18) on the Toie Asakusa Line :)
Hello, thank you for this video. It is very helpful as I am taking the same route Narita to Asakusa. I am arriving in terminal 1. Did you do this video in terminal 1?
This video is from T2, but don't worry it also departs at T1 before heading onto T2&3 :)
same procedures to, direct route and all 😄
@@EnjoyingLife. thank you very much for this info. I am leaving soon so this is the route i will take :) greetings!
@@joseandrade8142 Enjoy your trip!
@@EnjoyingLife. Thank you very much :)
Hey man thanks for sharing! I am planning to use this Sky Access from Narita to Haneda. So I should just stay on board all the way right? No transfers.
Can I buy the ticket in advance online for Sky Access from Narita to Haneda?
And if I buy at Narita, can I pay by credit card?
Hello! so I read ln the link below that Yes there are some trains that connect Narita to Haneda and that one of them is the "Sky Access" more specifically, the one that passess thru the Asakusa Line.
From what I read it should be a direct route between airports, but it will be easier to ask a ground staff for a more accurate answer :)
I don't think you can buy a ticket for the sky access in advance since it is not a reserved seating train, it's more like their commuter trains really.

And yes you can buy a ticket on the machine using a credit/debit card 🙂
Source: jrailpass.com
In your example, you chose A18 (@1:23) as the destination. Can I choose A9 (Daimon station)? That's where I want to go. I didn't see A9 displayed on the screen to be chosen! How do I do it?
Thank you.
yes you can :)
Hi is oshiage the next stop? Can the suica card be used for sky access trains?
Thank you this helps a lot in my itinerary
You're welcome! 😊
thanks for the tip, if i already have Suica card APP in my phone with enough money loaded, I dont need to buy any extra ticket right? can i just go straigh in?
Yes
Hi Dude - I need to travel from Narita T2 to Japan Bridge station by sky access and take a metro to Kagurazaka.
Q1: Which station is Japan Bridge station in the list of station in your video?
Q2: Do I need to buy Sky access and Metro tickets separately?
Q3: Where do I get metro tickets?
Hi, I checked the route from Narita to Kagurazaka on google and the info I got is as follows.
[Q1] Not sure about the (Japan Bridge Station) but when I searched for the route it gave me (Nihombashi Station) which is (A13) along the sky access route.
For this you can search on google the following "Narita Airport to Kaguraka Station" then click on the train option, this will show the route you'll need to ride on. This works for all searches, just type in "Starting station to End station" :)
[Q2] If you have the IC Card with enough credit balance, you don't really need to buy the tickets for the sky access and the metro tickets. Just Tap away 😁
The sky access is a commuter type train and is different from the skyliner, I'm just saying it here because they depart at the same platform from Narita T2.
Now if you don't have an IC Card, then you will have to buy a ticket for the sky access and once you reach your first stop, [Q3] you can just buy another ticket on that station for kagurazaka.
Hope this helps, enjoy your trip!
Remember, when in doubt ask the train staff 😆
Hi thanks for the video. I have to go to Kuramae Station (A17) as it is the closest to my hotel. How do I use the skyacces in this case as I did not see A17 in the options to select the station?
you can just buy the ticket for Asakusa, the train stops at Kuramae (A17) too :)
@@EnjoyingLife. Thanks a lot! And when I'm Leaving Japan, to go back to Narita Airport, am I able to buy ticket for sky access at kurumae station?
Hi, did it stop at A17? A lot of posts say otherwise. I'm going next month so i wanna make sure. Thank you so much!!
Hiiii. I would like to ask if the machine where you bought a ticket, also issue an IC card like PASMO?
Hello, Yes you can at the time the video was captured :)
If you stop at 1:15 it shows an option for IC CARD, wether you charge it or New Purchase.
is this skyliner has onboard toilet?
The one on the video is the Sky Access, It's a commuter train setup.
The Skyliner is a limited express with reserved seating and yes it has an onboard toilet.
From Narita AP We cannot straightaway go to Asakusa by Skiliner. Need a transfer at Ueno - Ginza Line - Correct ?
Yes
I’m little bit lost, I checked that it is two routes for the keisei line, one that goes to Ueno and other to Asakusa?
Yes there are 2 routes, make sure to get the one where you wanna go, ask a staff to be safe :)
I used google to search for my route for this video
When riding the skyaccess from narita, are there trabsfers or just stay on biard until asakusa station?
It's a direct route so no transfers :)
Just make sure you're on the right train 😉
Hi, do you know where I get a schedule for this route? Thanks.
I just got the schedule when I landed, but the train leaves every 30 minutes, give or take 🙂
I'm planning to go to Asakusabasi with this train.
Is this train go there directly ?
Yes, it is a direct route to Asakusa Station 😀
Hi! Is it possible to avail the ticket for this via Klook? Or is this not included in the Skyliner Narita Airport Express that is available in Klook?
Hello, are you talking about the Skyliner + Tokyo subway by klook? If so I am not sure.
I just searched in klook but only the skyliner pops up, no sky access, the 2 trains are different.
But if you already have a skyliner ticket, It could be a waste to get a sky access ticket because you'll have to choose between the 2 to get to your destination.
Just for reference:
Sky Access - Direct, no transfers to Asakusa Sta. Fron Narita
No reserved seating, as seen in the video
Skyliner - no direct route to Asakusa Sta. from Narita, Transfer needed.
Skyliner has reserved seating
Extremely helpful
Glad to hear it 😁
hello , i m writing from italy , i will be in Tokyo in late November , i want to know if it is possibile to use a Pasmo Card ( and therefore avoid buying the ticket at the ATM like you did) given that now on iPhones you can "virtually" buy a Pasmo and insert a deposit of money inside it, thanks and congratulations for the video
Yes you can use IC Card to enter the station, I just showed in the video how to but a ticket :D
Hi! Did you transfer from a different station to get to Asakusa?
No, the Sky Access is a direct route from Narita Terminal 1•2•3 to Asakusa, but do bare in mind that it is not the last stop, so listen carefully to the announcement 😃
Hi. If we need to embark at Oshiage station (near Sky Tree), do you know the letter and number we should pick on the machine?
Oshiage is (A20) or (KS45) depending on the line you'll take :)
@@EnjoyingLife. Thank you.
do we need to tap out ic card too at asakusa stasion if we use skyaccess ticket from narita?
if you used a ticket to enter you need to use it again to exit, no need for ic card.
now if you used an ic card to enter, you can just tap going out your destination station.
you don't have to buy a physical ticket if you already have an ic card with enough balance/load 🙂
Hi! I'm a bit confused. I'm having the option of getting an IC Card instead of buying a ticket. Will I pass through the fare gate if I could just tap my purchased Pasmo Passport (with enough credits)?
If you have an IC card you can just Tap.
And yes, please make sure you have enough credit 🙂
Do I need to transfer to another train within stations? Or just a single train ride will get me directly to Asakusa station?
It's a direct route, no need to transfer, just please make sure you're on the right train :)
@@EnjoyingLife. Thank you!
@@tymprsquezon9691 You're welcome! :D
May I ask, if coming from Hotel Amanek Asakusa Ekimae back to Narita Terminal 3, can I use the Keisei Access Express line and buy the ticket from Asakusa Station? Thanks
Yes, but you'll need to check the schedule.
Eitherway you can also ride the "Asakusa Line Airport - Rapid - Limited Express" towards Narita.
They both take around 1hr to get to the airport.
My advice is to search with google as it shows which trains can take you to the airport. Kesei and Asakusa Rapid both have direct routes :)
Just type "Asakusa Station to Narita" on google and click the train to see the schedule :)
did you need to change to any trains or is this a direct one to asakusa
Direct 😃
just make sure you are on the right train 😆😁
How long is the commute? I’ll be there tomorrow 😊
It takes around 50mins to an hour give or take :)
Enjoy your trip! 😃
What the difference from skyaccess and skyline
Good question, both trains are run through the keisei line, The sky Access is a commuter like train with no reserve seatings while the Skyliner is an all reserved seating train.
The Skyliner is also a little more expensive than than Sky Access.
-
example:
The sky Access can get you directly to Asakusa Station while with the Skyliner you would have to transfer to a different train (commuter train) to get to Asakusa.
-
note that they both depart from the same platform, so be sure to get on the right train.
Also, don't get confused, because on the screens on the platform, they show "Sky Access Skyliner" this notice is for the reserved seating "Skyliner" and not for the commuter train "Sky Access"
What is the interval between trains in keisei skyaccess? Thank you
It's around every 30 minutes give or take :)
this was super 😍👍
Thank you! 😁
Does every train from Platform 1 go to Asakusa? Or do we have to look for particular trains?
If you're going to ride the Sky Access, Yes, they make announcements on what train is arriving on the platform so please listen carefully they also have those little signages that shows info by the platform..
If I'm right the skyliner also arrives at platform 1, so again please be aware of the train you will get on 🙂
Hello. is there a direct train from Asakusa station to Narita airport and how long is the journey? Thanks!
Hello! Yes it's a Direct train from Asakusa Station to Narita Airports 1•2•3 and vice versa, the trip will take around 1H to 1H30M(give or take)
Thanks, do you know if 1 Suica card can be used for 3 people or not? What I mean is using the Suica card to buy tickets manually at the machine?
You can use 1 suica to buy multiple tickets, but you cannot use 1 suica to enter a gate for more than 1 person :)
Life savior !!!
☺️
Can you just use IC card or do we still need to get a ticket? Thank you!
You can just use IC Card 😉
@@EnjoyingLife. Thank you! ☺️
Do you know when is the last sky access train if you arrived in Narita at night time?

You can use the link as a guide :)
Thank you so much. Big help
Hello, is there a direct line from Narita Airport to Asakusa Station?
Hello, the sky Access is a direct line to Asakusa Station from Narita Airport Terminals 1•2•3 🙂
How to go to Nippori from Narita Station, please? Thank you!
You can ride the sky access until Aoto Station and then transfer there onto the blue Keisei line going to Ueno.
You could also ride the Skyliner for a direct route to Nippori, though this one is a little more pricey.
How about when you hop off Asakusa station? Are there elevators or escalators for the luggage?
There are, but some exits don't have it, I exited via A4 and I can tell you I'm glad I only had a small carry-on luggage.
If I remember correctly though, I think there was an Elevator by exit A2b.
Thank you so much
Thank you
You're welcome! 😁
Thank you so much for the info
You're Welcome! 😀
do you have to transfer to another line or it's straight to Asakusa?
straight, just make sure you are on the right train 😁
@@EnjoyingLife. thanks mate! I'm a little scared to get on the wrong one but I think It'll be fine.
How long does it take? Thank you!
Around 50mins to 1hr, give or take 🙂
@@EnjoyingLife. thanks so much!!
Hi i have a question, is there any direct train from narita airport to asakusa? Or we still need to transfer from ueno to asakusa?
The Sky Access is a direct route from Narita to Asakusa as shown in the video 😁
How long will it take on that train?
It'll take around an hour to get to Asakusa from Narita.
@@EnjoyingLife.Thank you so much👍🏻
@@EnjoyingLife.Do I need to transfer to another train or is it a direct train to Asakusa?
It's a direct route, just make sure you are on the right train.
Does Sky access go to Ueno?
As far as I know, it doesn't. The one that goes straight to Ueno is the skyliner, it's on the same platform as the Sky Access (Platform 1)
It's a bit more pricey because it's a limited express train but it's more comfy because it's all reserved seating.
is it possible to go direct to oshiage station? thank you
Yes :)
@@EnjoyingLife. thank you!
@@raraz25 Enjoy your trip! :D
Is the sky access the same as the skyliner? Or if skyliner, dun po sa right side pupunta ung my blue?
Hello, Sky Access is different from Skyliner :)
No, sa Orange line ka padin bababa. Don't go sa blue, main line yun at lahat ng stops titigilan.
