Travel Information

Route from NARITA Airport to SENDAI

The easiest way to Sendai is to take a JR-line Narita Express train to Tokyo. (JR stands for Japanese Railway.) You can purchase a Narita Express boarding ticket at the JR station located on the underground level at Narita Airport. You can also purchase a Shinkansen (the famous bullet train) ticket for either a reserved or non-reserved seat at Narita Airport JR Station. (I strongly recommend you take a reserved seat. The difference in fare is a nominal 710 yen.) This will entitle you to continue traveling from Tokyo to Sendai without making a separate purchase at the crowded Tokyo Station. It takes about 10 minutes on foot to transfer at Tokyo Station, i.e. from the Narita Express boarding area to the Shinkansen boarding area. Please note that the main exit of Sendai Station and the bus pool for the conference-related directions are located westside.

2. NARITA AIRPORT ===(Keisei-Line Sky Liner) === Keisei-UENO --(walk)--

                10,590 (Fare plus express fee, reserved seat)
                Total 12,510 yen

The NARITA Express boarding area is located underground at Tokyo Station.
The Shinkansen boarding area at Tokyo is on an elevated level.
It is a few minutes' walk between Keisei-Ueno Station and Ueno Station. It should not be too confusing, but you may need to ask for help.
The Shinkansen boarding area at Ueno is located underground.
Making a seat reservation for Shinkansen costs only 710 yen. It would be far better than standing for two hours in a narrow corridor.
