Rail services like the Narita Express provide direct city-center to airport connections with predictable schedules and seat reservations, reducing transfer uncertainty compared with buses. Buses travel door-to-door but require longer road travel times subject to traffic; flights are not applicable for Tokyo to Narita airport transfer since Narita is the destination. For transfers between central Tokyo and Narita, rail offers consistent travel times and fewer variables than road transport.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
