Narita Airport Terminal 2-3 Station

Overview

For flights using Narita Airport's Terminals 2 or 3, get off at Narita Airport Terminal 2-3 Station. The station is on the basement level of Terminal 2, with separate ticket gates for JR East and Keisei. Terminal 3 has no station of its own. You'll need to walk or take the airport's free shuttle bus for the final part of the journey.

Your destination in Tokyo matters as much as journey time. A direct train to a station near your hotel may spare you a change with luggage, and the two railways also take different routes into central Narita.

Lines and connections

Keisei's Skyliner provides reserved seating and dedicated luggage space, stopping at Nippori and Keisei Ueno in Tokyo. Change at Nippori for JR trains. A Skyliner ticket is required in addition to the basic fare, so tapping a transport IC card alone doesn't cover the full journey.

JR's Narita Express runs to Tokyo Station and continues to destinations including Shinjuku Station and Yokohama. Check where your train is going, since not every departure serves both branches. All seats are reserved, and a limited-express ticket is required. JR rapid trains also travel through Chiba toward Tokyo; they take longer, but an ordinary seat doesn't carry the limited-express surcharge.

Keisei's Access Express is another option without an express surcharge. Some trains continue onto the Toei Asakusa Line, reaching Asakusa and Nihombashi without a change, while others head toward Ueno. Check the destination before boarding. The Skyliner doesn't use the Asakusa route.

For Narita town, take a JR train that stops at Narita Station or a Keisei Main Line service to Keisei Narita Station. The Skyliner and Access Express follow a different route and don't serve those town-center stations.

Airport access

From Terminal 2 arrivals, follow the railway signs down to B1. If you're arriving by train for a flight, allow around five minutes to reach Terminal 2, plus additional time to find your airline's check-in area.

For Terminal 3, follow the signed access corridor. Walking from the station gates to the information counter in Terminal 3's second-floor departure lobby takes about 13 minutes. Allow additional time from there for check-in, security, and the walk to your departure gate. The free shuttle to Terminal 3 leaves from bus stop 1 outside Terminal 2.

Station area

Ticket machines and the JR and Keisei service centers are on the basement level. For a hotel shuttle, return to the terminal's road-level bus stops. If you're staying at an airport hotel, confirm the correct terminal, bus stop, and departure time before leaving the arrivals area.

Good to know

Narita Airport Station is the separate stop for Terminal 1. JR Narita and Keisei Narita are in town, outside the airport. Check the terminal shown on your flight booking before buying a rail ticket, especially when your arrival and departure airlines use different buildings.
