Japan Day 1 – TOKYO: How to get from Narita Airport to Shinjuku + our Airbnb accomodation
Our flight on United Airlines arrived at 3pm at Narita Airport – delayed, because of Typhoon Nangka. Unlike Haneda Airport, Narita Airport is not located close to the city area at all. Even if you’re using their direct express train, travelling time is about 1.5 hours to Shinjuku. Our Airbnb apartment is located 5 minutes on foot from Shinjuku Station and our host was going to pick us up from the South-East Exit of Shinjuku Station. The first thing to figure out is how to get there in the cheapest way possible.
Japan Day 0: Trip Preparation – Useful websites, Staying connected, Japan Rail Pass, Getting around
I visited Japan for the first time in 2007. I was in my mid twenties and it was a family trip. I don’t remember very much about the trip, except that we were on a guided tour and we visited Tokyo, Osaka and Nara. I remember staying in a Ryokan and eating rice and soup for breakfast, narrowly escaping a snow storm on Mount Fuji and being surrounded by deers in Nara. Err I also remember wearing a Lilo and Stitch hat in Disneyland HAHAHA:
