How
to get from Narita Airport to the hotels
Narita Airport is about an hour out of Tokyo, and approximately
one and a half (to two, depending on traffic) hours from the UNU
Centre and the President Hotel, the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel,
the Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu and the Hotel Okura Tokyo Tokyu.
We do not recommend that you take a taxi from the airport to your
hotel, as this would be very expensive.
By
Airport Limousine Bus
We recommend that you travel from the airport to the hotel by
Airport Limousine bus as this is by far the easiest way of traveling,
will take the same amount of time, and will cost roughly the same
as the subway system. The Limousine Bus ticket counter is located
almost directly in front of you as you come out of airport customs
and into the main arrival hall. The ticket counter is marked clearly
in English, and the staff there will speak a little, if not a
lot, of English. As long as you remember the name of your hotel,
you will have no problem. There is an Airport Limousine Bus that
travels directly from Narita Airport to Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel
and Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu in Shibuya and Hotel Okura Tokyo
in Toranomon at least once every hour. The cost is approximately
3,000 YEN.
If
there is no bus at the time of your arrival, you could also take
a limousine bus to the Tokyo City Air Terminal (TCAT) and a taxi
from TCAT to the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel, Shibuya Excel Hotel
Tokyu or Hotel Okura Tokyo. The cost of the limousine bus ticket
from Narita to TCAT is 2,900 YEN; a taxi from TCAT to Hotel Excel
will be around 3,500 - 4,000 YEN depending on traffic. Unfortunately,
there is no Airport Limousine Bus to the President Hotel. We recommend
that you take an Airport Limousine Bus up to the TCAT and a taxi
to the Hotel.
By
train/subway
It
is also possible to travel to and from the airport by subway.
While all signs and stations will be marked in English as well
as Japanese, there is no direct route to the hotels and the subway
system may be a bit daunting for those who have not visited Tokyo
before. Also, there is little difference between the cost of the
Airport Limousine Bus and the train/subway.
To
reach President Hotel, Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel, Shibuya Excel
Hotel Tokyu or Hotel Okura Tokyo by train, you should take the
Narita Express to Tokyo Station and then take a subway train on
the Marunouchi line to Akasakamitsuke station (only four stops)
and switch to the Ginza line. The terminal station on the Ginza
line for the President Hotel is Aoyama 1-chome (only one stop),
Shibuya Station for the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel and Shibuya
Excel Hotel Tokyu (the last stop) and Toranomon Station for the
Hotel Okura Tokyo (two stops). Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu is actually
attached to the station.
Another alternative to reach Shibuya Station from Tokyo Station
is to take the Japan Railways (JR) trains. The JR train bound
for Shibuya Station is "Yamanote Line". Yamanote Line will take
you directly to Shibuya Station.
