Hilton HHonors - Hilton Tokyo to Hilton Tokyo Bay?

I have a res with Hilton Tokyo, thanks to the Expedia/Hilton mistake, for few nights in May. AA just came out with a nice fare, which I was able to grab, but it requires a 6 night stay, so I figured I get 2 stay credits and booked 1 night at the Bay property.

2 questions......

1. How hard/easy is it to get from Hilton Tokyo to the Hilton Tokyo Bay property?

2. How do I get from the Bay property to NRT?

The Friendly Airport Limousine Bus goes between HTB and NRT.

And I know I took a train between Shinjuku-eki and Tokyo Disneyland back in 1991, so I am sure the train is an option getting from Hilton Tokyo to HTB, but a bus might also be available.

The train will likely be your cheapest route, followed by the bus, and taxi $$$ as a last resort.

How do I get from the Bay property to NRT?When I stayed at the Hilton Tokyo Bay property several years ago, I had no problems taking the train to virtually anywhere I wanted to go in Japan, whether I was going to the airport, Lake Chuzenji or Kyoto.

There is a shuttle from the Hilton Tokyo Bay property to the Tokyo Disneyland train station, which can be seen from the property. Unless you have a lot of luggage with you, you can take a 10-minute walk to the train station from the hotel.

The train can be taken into Tokyo where a special train to the airport can be taken, but I forget the details. I remember having no problems, however — even with luggage...

1. To get to Tokyo Bay, as long as you are not traveling with too much luggage the JR line is the best bargin. Get on the free hotel shuttle from the Hilton Tokyo to Shinjuko station. Take the JR from Shinjuko Station to Tokyo Station (there is some walking within the train stations as you make connections, up and down stairs/escalators and long hallways) and switch trains there to Maihama Station (which adjoins the monorail for Disneyland). From there you take a short monorail ride over the second stop (it's just a short circle monorail with only 4 stops -- see http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/tdr/english/plan/transfer/index.html for map of the monorail) and get on the Hilton Tokyo Disneyland bus (very cute buses) which basically carries you a few hundred yards to the hotel. All in all not too difficult without too many bags, but if you have luggage it may be more of a pain and you might want to consider a taxi (but $$$$).

2. From the Hilton Tokyo Disneyland to NRT the answer is extremely easy -- the NRT bus. There are buses leaving many times a day which go directly! The bus is really the easiest and cheapest way to get to/from the hotels to the airport. Typical greyhound-type buses.

The JR and subway lines interconnect and it can be difficult to read their maps and get around, but it just takes patience. E-mail me offline if you want a good map that shows them both.

Have fun!
