There was an LED monitor that displayed the upcoming stops, but as I knew mine was the last stop, I did not have to pay attention.

When it came time to leave, and because I had the luxury of a late afternoon flight on a weekday, I chose a different option to make my way back to Narita airport. Taking the subway to Tokyo Station, I walked the kitty corner block and a half to the Tokyo Shuttle bus stop. It basically provided the same service as the Airport Limousine Bus I had taken into the city a few days earlier, but at a third of the cost for a fare of ¥1,000 plus ¥200 for the subway fare. I paid the cash fare at an automated machine, and was then directed to an short queue under a shelter to wait for the next departure, some 15 minutes later. The protocol, service and comfort was identical to the Airport Limousine Bus, and buses left on a frequent schedule, approximately every 20 minutes. There were few passengers, so I sat alone and made use of the free WiFi with electrical outlets at every seat. In Japan, the electrical plugs are identical to those in North America, but electrical current is rated at 100V instead of our 120V. Despite frequent traffic advisories, it took almost exactly one hour to arrive at Terminal 1.
