Skyliner

Relatively convenient and fast way to get to– and from– Narita Airport. Ideal for travelers with less luggage as there tends to be quite a bit of walking involved, especially if you have to transfer trains or your house/​hotel isn’t near one of the designated Keisei Skyliner stops. Along with Nippori, the other main hub station is Ueno.
My husband and I don’t know how to pack lightly (and definitely don’t know how to leave Japan without bursting suitcases), so our most recent trip consisted of two huge and heavy suitcases. Each. So yes, a total of four suitcases. We had quite the struggle trying to squeeze our suitcases into the luggage storage area by the entrance when we got on at Narita Airport with all the other travelers also scrambling to get on. We managed to squeeze three of our suitcases and had to slide one into our seating area. The problem didn’t exist on our way back to Narita Airport as there weren’t that many people on board. Plus, we actually got on from Ueno so the majority of people boarded at Nippori after we got on.
My experience stems mostly from transferring at Ueno station, so I apologize if this doesn’t apply to you. Ueno is a HUGE station. Lots to do and see here if you need to kill some time or in the mood for shopping. But this also means lots of walking and lots of people. The Keisei Skyliner station is located far away from the local train lines. We wanted to transfer to the Hibiya Line which felt like the longest walk of my life. Definitely not fun having to weave through the crowds with your heavy luggage and having to walk a little extra to find the elevators to avoid the numerous stairs involved. We were not happy campers when we finally reached the Hibiya Line only to find out it was peak afternoon rush hour time. We shoved ourselves on to the packed train, sweating and miserable.
So… my advice to you folks with tons of luggage and your final destination is not on the Keisei Skyliner stop is to check out the Airport Limousine bus. Especially if the bus stops at your final destination, this is probably the most cost effective and convenient way to travel. Not to mention… stress-​free.
Apart from the issues surrounding the convenience of Keisei Skyliner, the train itself was great. Very clean. Ticketing was quite easy as well. When buying tickets at Narita, make sure to ask for the free wi-​fi access voucher. This deal is only available to foreigners (they will ask you to show them your passport for proof). Their wi-​fi voucher will give you unlimited access to their wi-​fi while on the train. The connection was a bit shaky but it did the job of sending text messages to my parents as I was without wi-​fi until I got to their place.

Super easy. Catch the express from Nippori station and ¥2600 and 38 minutes later you’re at Narita International Airport.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Easy to find and purchase tickets. I definitely would use the express again if/​when we visit Tokyo again.
