NRT to Shibuya
I've traveled from HND to Shibuya but never NRT to Shibuya. I need a little guidance. Can i take the Keisei Oshiage Line to Oshiage and transfer on to the Hanzomon Line for a direct to Shibuya? I reckon this will cost me close to 2000 yen...just guessing though.

Cheapest route:
Narita Airport to Nippori with Keisei line, transfer to JR Yamanote line to Shibuya. It cost 1,190Yen and 1hour and 50minutes If you have big luggage, avoid morning “Rush hour” on JR Yamanote line Fastest route: Narita Airport to Nippori with Sky liner on Keisei line, transfer to JR Yamanote line to Shibuya. It cost 2,590Yen and 1hour and 10minutes If you have big luggage, avoid morning “Rush hour” on JR Yamanote line Easiest Route: Narita Airport to Shibuya with JR Narita Express, there is no transfer. It cost 3,110Yen and 1houre 20minutes |
Check the hyperdia website for the timetables but you may as well just get the JR Narita Express direct to Shibuya. You can buy a combined NRT Express Suica combination ticket and as it comes with 1,500yen preloaded onto the Suica card the journey effectively costs the 2,000yen you're aiming for:

Narita Express is easiest and takes you directly to Shibuya. However it is probably the slowest train in Japan or at least among the slowest ones...

appreciate it folks

Also remember that the "fastest" route calculated online won't necessarily get you to your destination the earliest - Hyperdia and its ilk only calculate total time from first station to final station, ignoring waiting time. So if the next Skyliner with free seats is an hour from now but there's an NEX train leaving in five minutes, you're obviously better off with the NEX.

just so I have this right, the NRT Exp runs directly from the airport to Shibuya with no transfers..correct? In that case wouldn't it make sense to get the Suica & N'EX Round-Trip card for 5,500 Yen?

Not so -- they most definitely do include waiting time, and do quite a good job of telling you which option will actually get you there the fastest.
(And also, as I said, if the next train leaving doesn't have any free seats, Hyperdia certainly isn't going to tell you that.) |
