The trek out to Narita Airport is about to get considerably faster, as Keisei’s long-awaited high-speed rail link commences operation on July 17. The Narita Sky Access Line cuts the journey from Nippori to just 36 minutes and costs ¥2,400, which should give the (slower, more expensive) highway bus services and JR’s Narita Express a run for their money. The new Skyliner trains have high domed ceilings, spacious seat pitch and plenty of room for baggage. Keisei’s existing Skyliner service will continue to run under the name City Liner.
