Note that unlike Limousine Buses, the first Tokyo Shuttle leaves Tokyo Station at 1:30 am-which means you can catch those ridiculously early flights out of Narita. Early morning buses are any that depart before 6 am. However, when returning to Narita Airport from Tokyo, without a reservation, it will cost you 2,000 yen for early morning and late night buses. The service does have a few small conditions-you can catch it at any time of day without a booking from Narita Airport (buses leave every 20 mins!) for the advertised 900 yen. The bus costs only 900 yen with a reservation (and 1,000 yen cash without a reservation) and runs to the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station from where you can easily jump on the subway or various JR Lines. Within an hour’s train ride, there are all sorts of hidden. Tokyo Shuttle – Considerably cheaper, is the Tokyo Shuttle. Oh boy, where to even begin The entirety of the Narita area (and the wider Boso peninsula on which it resides) is rich with history. Limousine Bus – Although the convenience of not having to cart your luggage around is great, the Limousine Bus service (the buses are in fact the least limousine-like wheeled transport you are likely to take) to major hotels all over Tokyo at 3,100 yen each way (and 4,500 yen for a return ticket) is definitely not the cheapest option.

Some of the fares are cheap enough to make tourists coming to Japan consider whether they should get the JR Pass or just book a couple of flights on an LCC. While finding the cheapest transport to get from Narita to Tokyo is a worthy quest in itself, it has become more important because of the arrival of low-cost carriers like Jetstar Japan-which use Narita as their base of operations for domestic flights out of Tokyo.
