Thanks for the replies.
This is the best option; Keisei Skyliner. Is it possible to buy the tickets the day before travel? I doubt the ticket office will be open and I do not want to waste time figuring out a ticket machine on a Sunday morning? What time does the Yamanote Line start on Sunday mornings?
Hi,
I think the trains start running about 4:30 am;
Per here;
HyperDia | SearchResult
( Hyperdia is a very useful tool for planning travel routes on trains/subway)
Trains are running quite frequently after 5am taking about 10mins from Kanda to Nippori ( plus time to get to/from the platforms
Not sure when the ticket office opens but the machines should have a language button to convert to English ( it might be worth making a dummy trip to Nippori whilst you are in tokyo to get familar with the route before your departure date)- you could tie it in with a visit to Ueono park or the Yanaka district/cemetary with lots of small temples in the side streets
