Narita Airport to Tokyo - Complete Japan Travel Guide
Here are tips to get to and from Narita Airport. I've lived in Japan for almost 15 years now and this advice is based on all my experiences. Hope this video helps.
Check out more info at
//Timelines//
0:12-Intro
0:13-1:07 Overview of transportation options to Narita Airport
The options are...
-Express Train - Narita Express and Keisei Skyliner
-Local Bus
-Bus - LCC and limousine
-Taxi
Basically LCC buses are the cheapest way to go, and express trains and limousine are about the same price.
1:08-1:28 Overview of express train
-Narita Express is great for people staying in south west area including Shinjuku, Shibuya and Tokyo.
-Keisei Skyliner is great for people staying in north east area including Ueno and Nippori.
1:29-2:52 How to ride the express train
-From the Airport:
When you arrive at Narita Airport, go to B1. You will find RED Narita Express ticket booth and machines on the right and BLUE Skyliner ticket booth and machines on the left.
-To the Airport:
N'EX - Go to your nearest JR station to buy ticket. You can buy tickets even though express train does not stop at your nearest station.
Skyliner - Go to Nippori or Ueno to buy tickets.
2:52-4:05 Tips on express train
Tip 1 - Arrive to the station 15-20 minutes early (on return)
There is always a long line at the ticket booth and the platform to get on the train might be quite far from the gate so make sure to arrive early.
Tip 2 - Use ticket machine when in hurry
Usually you don't need to wait in line for ticket machines to buy a ticket and takes only about 5 minutes. Consider this as an option when you are in hurry.
Tip 3 - Sit at the front of the car
Luggage compartment is located at the front and the end of the each car of express train. People get stuck when getting the luggage upon arrivals. It is stressful to worry about if you can get out or not so it's good to sit at the front. (the end is ok too.)
Note: About tickets
when you buy tickets by credit card, you will receive 3 tickets - an express train ticket, receipt, and credit card receipt. You need to show only the train ticket to the train attendant.
CORRECTION: X 4 ticket → ◉ 3 tickets
(I was with my gf so we had 4 tickets.)
4:05 - 5:22 Bus
- LCC (Tokyo Shuttle and Access Narita) can take you to/from Tokyo and Ginza Station.
- Limousine Bus runs to/from major hotels.

How to Enjoy the Water Bus : From Asakusa to Odaiba with a Great View【Moving Japan】
Tokyo, the capitol of Japan. Did you know that this big city, with all its rows of buildings, is also a city of water with many rivers running through it? Today, we'll show you how to enjoy the water bus, an experience you won't find anything quite like outside of Tokyo.
In this video, we are featuring the Tokyo Mizube Line water bus on the Sumida River. The trip we made was about 45 minutes round trip from Asakusa to Odaiba and back. The boat itself is quite spacious, but for the best experience and view of the famous Tokyo sights try to go up to the roof deck. The boat departs from Asakusa Nitenmon Port, as you float down the river and depart Asakusa you can see Tokyo Sky Tree slowly float away. Next, you wil see the Ryogoku Sumo Hall, otherwise known as the mecca of Japan's national sports. After Ryogoku is the Kiyosu Bridge, named as one of Japan's important cultural assests. As you will pass by many bridges, please enjoy the views! After a couple of beautiful bridges, you will pass Etchujima, where Japan had its first western-style military drill for which the Edo shogunate called in an officer from France. Next you will see Tsukuda, which is famous for being the origin of Tsukuda-ni, otherwise known as foods boiled in soy. The next sight is Tsukiji, which is also known as the kitchen of Tokyo and home of the Tsukiji Fish Market. From Tsukiji, we travel to Hamarikyu Gardens. These gardens were planted by the Metropolitan government of Tokyo. This leads to the famous Rainbow Bridge. We recommend that you also visit Rainbow Bridge at night for the breath taking view. This brings us to the end of the line: Odaiba. The boat picks up some passengers and turn around to head back to Asakusa.
This is a fast and pleasant way to see famous sights around Tokyo especially if you are on a tight schedule!

Sumo Wrestling Guide for Tokyo, Japan
Watching a Sumo Wrestling tournament in Tokyo is one of the best events to attend in Japan. I was out of luck 3 times to obtain tickets due to it being sold out so prior to booking my plane tickets I secured myself a sumo ticket. Subscribe to my channel ► for weekly videos!
Reserve YOUR special seat for 2019, last chances!
Photos and extra tips on my blog:
The Sumo Tour Tokyo includes a tour guide, tickets, a translation radio and a Chankonabe dinner after the event for $150 dollars.
The Sumo wrestling matches are being held in January, May & September during a 15-day period at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Sumida, Tokyo. My favourite part was meeting a Sumo wrestler at the station to really get an idea of their size and magnitude.
The growing popularity of Sumo during the Meiji period led to the building of the original Kokugikan in Ryōgoku in 1909. The Japanese army appropriated the facility in World War II, and some tournaments were held outdoors at a baseball stadium.
17 Tips for Sumo Wrestling in Tokyo:
1. Hand-prints of famous Sumo wrestlers can be found at the Ryogoku train station which you can compare to your own hand.
2. There are 3 annual tournaments in Tokyo, each lasting for 15 days in January, May and September, book your tickets months in advance. Sumo is known to sell out fast, so I booked my tickets first before I booked a flight or book with a travel company who will also provide a personal guide.
3. Make sure to obtain a translator radio to enjoy the Sumo match in multiple languages.
4. Prices usually start at $40 dollars and recently there is a special on ringside seats, for $150 dollars you get the chance to have a 400 pound sumo wrestler plant his ass on your face as he hurtles down the stage.
5. Before the match starts, get yourself a nice cold beer and takoyaki balls! Seating quality is phenomenal but don't expect cup holders.
6. There are many different levels in Sumo wrestling with the Yokozuna being at the top, surprisingly there are currently no Japanese Yokozuna, instead they are all Mongolian. You can recognize a Yokozuna by their thick white rope.
7. Go checkout the Sumo museum during the extended break between the junior and senior sumo matches, and if you are lucky you may meet a sumo wrestler as well!
8. At balcony level you'll notice the sumo match-board, the red light indicates the match winners.
9. Before and during the matches you will see people with large banners walking on stages; these are names of the Sumo schools and sponsors.
10. Leave before the end of the event to avoid long waiting lines at the Ryogoku train station.
11 If you do decide to stay you can enjoy a Sumo bow ceremonial dance which officially ends the event.
12. Go enjoy a chankonabe dinner, a Sumo staple dish, which is a rich soup with lots of assorted meats, fish and vegetables.
13. Referees are called gyoji, the top-ranked Gyoji wears a dagger. Traditionally, this is suppose to represent the seriousness of the decisions they must make and their preparedness to commit seppuku if they make a mistake.
14. A Sumo wrestler takes in 20,000 calories a day on average!
15. Sumo wrestlers used to be skinny back in the old days.
16. Traditionally, fans express their disappointment by throwing cushions at the stage.
17. As you noticed in the video above; there are currently many foreigners attending Sumo, making it a true international sport.

JAPANTRIP 「Edo-Tokyo Museum」Sumida-ku, Tokyo【江戸東京博物館】

At the Special exhibition gallery, visitors can enjoy selected exhibits on subjects related to Tokyo's history and culture, scheduled several times a year.
Last Day in Tokyo (Ryogoku) - Tokyo Vlog #5
We started the day going to the Sumo Museum/Arena and followed that up by going to a close by Chankonabe (Japanese stew commonly eaten in vast quantity by sumo wrestlers as part of a weight-gain diet) restaurant called Chanko Tomoegata. We ordered the lunch fixed menu and I highly recommend it! We then stumbled upon Ekō-in a Pure Land Buddhist temple in Ryōgoku. After that we did a quick walk beside the Sumida river and found a grocery store. After buying some interesting foods we took a seat at a park called Nihonbashi Hamacho and I review some of the food. We found a street market/temple close by and we checked that out. After that we headed to Edomasa- a small casual yakitori place very popular with the locals. We waited 45 minutes outside in the cold before getting in but it was worth it! Edomasa not only has great food but it is a local experience. It was a fixed yakitori menu (meat on a stick) which was tasty. As a note they do not speak much English here and only take cash! Also arrive before 5pm if you want to get seated right away this place fills up fast!

Nice 2000 KONE Monospace MRL Tr. Glass Elev@Toei Ōedo Line Ryogoku Station, Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
The Toei Ōedo Line (都営地下鉄大江戸線 Toei Chikatetsu Ōedo-sen) is a subway line in Tokyo, Japan, operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei). It commenced full operations on December 12, 2000; using the Japanese calendar this reads 12/12/12 as the year 2000 equals Heisei 12. The line is completely underground, making it the second-longest railway tunnel in Japan after the Seikan Tunnel. Most stations are deep, located around 40 meters underground. (Source: Wikipedia)
Toei Ōedo Line means the Big Edo Line and Edo was the city's name until 1867.
This is perhaps the most expensive metro line ever built - it cost 1400 billion yen and it took 10 years to build it. Also, it was the 12th metro line in the Tokyo metro system (Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway combined).
The first section of the 40,7km (38 stations)- line was opened in December 1991 with 4 stations from Hikarigaoka to Nerima, then extended further to Tochomae and Shinjuku by 1997 (8 stations). In April 2000, Yoyogi station was opened, and the full loop line with 25 more stations was completed in December 2000 (the 38th station, the Shiodome station, was added later in 2002), and it took 10 years to build it. It takes 81 minutes to to a full loop on the line.
25 of the 38 stations on the linear motor metro line (the second in Japan, after the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi line in Osaka) got equipped with KONE Monospace elevators in 2000 (I am not sure whether the Yoyogi station opened in April 2000 also got KONE Monospace elevators) - this is the first and only time I've seen imported Finnish elevators in Japan! Also, the elevators are custom-made, with black bumpers as in Japanese elevators, and they also have Japanese floor announcement.
In the elevator in the video, for some reason they've changed the original Sigma buttons to new ones, but otherwise, nothing has been changed since 2000.
