If you have a 7 hour or more layover at Narita airport, why not let me show you the highlights of Tokyo! Downtown Tokyo is only a 1 hr to 1. 5 hr comfortable train ride from Narita.
I will meet you at Narita Airport arrival lounge (or your Narita area hotel), guide you to the train station and subway for a unforgettable tour of Tokyo from a local's point of view.
At the conclusion of the tour, I will take you to Tokyo or Ueno station and see you off back to Narita.
Day or night, this is a much better thing to do than sitting in the airport!
Please book me at least 1 day ahead for the day you want a tour because I have to check the train schedule. |

4. Tsukiji fish market
5. Meiji jingu shrine
6. Imperial palace - You cannot see the palace itself
Lunch or dinner at a wide variety of restaurants (from traditional Japanese cuisine to Japanese pancake for local people)

There are 2 trains to Tokyo from Narita. The Narita Express takes 60 minutes and costs about 3000 Yen.
You can also take the Skyliner for 2400 Yen.
If you are comfortable getting into Tokyo on your own, you will save $80 USD (cost to cover my time and the transportation from Tokyo to Narita).
If I take you back to Narita, there is an extra $80 USD cost to cover my time and the transportation. Typically, getting back is not a problem as you are just reversing your route. |
