[@wearelostinjapan]

Thank you for coming to Japan. Your first trip is great! Have an exciting journey.

[@ChonkyMochaCat]

OMG, I have been taking keisei skyliner and switching trains just to get to Shinjuku. This is way more convenient, thank you!

[@wearelostinjapan]

Nex or Bus is the best way to get Shinjuku directly. Thanks for watching!

[@familyliferocks]

Excellent. This is what I needed to know.

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks for watching! Glad you found you needed🔥

[@KarlaCampillo-t6g]

[@halfdohm]

Thank you so much for this video! The ticket your purchased was for both the basic fare and the limited express? Also, when you selected the train time (3:10), there was another choice just to the right of the one you selected. I could not see the language at the top of the screen. What this other button for? Again, thanks so much.

[@Andrea-rf7qz]

This was very helpful, thank you for this sir!

[@wearelostinjapan]

[@michaelraymondvalenzuela3840]

Do you know where we can take a taxi at Shinjuku station

[@kaissouxx]

thank you for this video

[@wearelostinjapan]

[@tommyk3020]

Very detailed! Thank you! Once you are off the train at the Shinjuku station, I’m guessing it’s pretty easy to find the west exit?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks for watching! West Exit! It's might be little difficult. But I am sure you won't get lost!

[@alexandrejacquot6814]

Hi, Thanks for the video. I don't see Hamamatsucho as destination. I thought it was also stopping there.

[@kittisak_tub_10]

Thank you for your review ^_^

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thank you! Have a nice trip!

[@YogaPinay]

I hope you can do a video on taking Kensei Narita Sky Access train from the airport going to Sky Tree or Oshiage Station, what tickets to buy and platform to take. Thanks in advance.❤

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks for watching! Check this video below. This one for Ueno but it might help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmXZnK2IfZWWesksi=J9hbXKRLTpQX-v_M

[@yiw2587]

Very good and easy understanding explanation ! If I stop at Tokyo Station on the Narita Express, are there escalators from the train platform to the station exit? Similar to the escalators at Shinjuku platforms 5 and 6?

[@9-1-juan6]

Thank you for the video! Would you know direction/gate to go get cab to take me to Kabukicho area?

[@wearelostinjapan]

You can walk to Kabukicho area from Shinjuku station. If you take a cab, go to east exit and grab a cab!

[@dlg6443]

Thank you for your clear explanation! you just answered one of my concerns, which was if I could purchase the round-trip pass to shinjuku at the airport. I have been trying to get them online but keep getting an error message. My other question is How likely is it to be sold out to Shinjuku?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi! It's too bad you are getting that an error message. Narita Express goes every 30min from Narita to Shinjuku. I have never seen that it's sold out.

[@rogeryao9883]

hi, thank you for this helpful video. im going to japan soon and im wondering if there is any 3 day/ 7 day pass for yamanote line.

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi, thanks for watching! There is no 3 to 7days pass for Yamanote. You might like JR TOKYO WIDE PASS. www.jreast.co.jp/multi/pass/tokyowidepass.html

[@Cjwill_Travels]

Thanks! For all your help! I really appreciate you. I have a question… What is the best way to travel from Osaka to the Narita Airport? Thanks!!❤

[@wearelostinjapan]

The best way to get Narita from Osaka is taking Shinkansen to Tokyo Sta and transfer to Narita Express to Narita airport!

[@Cjwill_Travels]

@@wearelostinjapanThanks you so much for your help! You’re the best!

[@wearelostinjapan]

Have a great time in Japan! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help🌞

[@iTransfiguration]

this is excellent! I appreciate the visuals and signs. I am arriving on a weekday around 4pm (rush hour). Would u recommend to take this NRT express or Limo bus? I heard Limo bus is longer due to traffic? Also, are there rideshare pickup points in Shinjuku for Ubers? (Or other rideshare/taxis)

[@ayie143]

Great video, Thank you! Do you recommend getting the NEX round trip ticket if we are only staying in Tokyo for less than 7 days? We are staying in Shibuya. If so, do we select a time for our travel back to the Narita airport when we get the round trip ticket or can we choose that time when we are leaving? Also, does Narita Express run early in the morning? As our flight back will be early. Thank you again so much and I hope my questions makes sense!

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks for watching! Yes I do recommend getting this round trip ticket! You can pick when and what time when you go back to Narita Airport at the ticket vending machine. So you don't have to do anything for return ticket when you arrive. And the first Nex from Shibuya is 6:01, you'd be at Narita airport around 7:15. Hope this helps! Feel free to hit me back if you got more questions!

[@ayie143]

⁠@@wearelostinjapan Thank you so much for reply!! Are there alternatives to get to Narita Airport for earlier flights?

[@archersullivan]

Hi. On the right side of the vending machine, it said "basic fare ticket + reserved seat ticket." Where do we get the basic fare ticket? Thank you.

[@Bescirno]

i wonder why u took the ticket fare that much.. it takes me only under 3000yen for me from tokyo stn. is on-site ticket that expensive?

[@naomigraham8268]

Hello, we are arriving at narita airport 6:25 pm, what's the last train going to shinjuku? Thank you.

[@emiliocartolano8062]

Thank you

[@lyubomiryonchev6481]

Great video. Exactly on point. So its around 3k yen in one direction? And 6k for round ticket to Shinjuko. Well maybe NEX round Tokyo ticket its much worth it then. Its cheaper then normal ticket in both ways, and you can use the train for 14 days and travel within Shinjuko, Shibuya, Tokyo Station, Yokohama etc. Very informative. I'll definitely buying this when I arrive there.

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks for your comment. It is about 3k yen. To be exact, it is 3,250 yen.

[@MirosCarsandAdventures]

May i ask about that NEX ticket that is valid for 14 days. Do you mean unlimites back and forth to Shinjuku, shibuya, tokyo, yokohama?

[@pHaZe017]

Thank you very much for a very informative video. This has taken my anxiety levels down a couple notches. Im conscious that with train rides and depending on what side you sit on, you get some pretty neat views on the way into tokyo. My question probably sounds incredibly pedantic (especially as i read this back to myself) but was there a particular side of the train that had better views coming in Tokyo? Thanks again!

[@GirlLoveAnime18]

I have red that it's better to sit on the right side, because you could see the Skytree when approaching Tokyo :)

[@jimwoodworth9130]

Nice video! Is eating on NEX permitted?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks! Yes, you can drink and eat!

[@MySOPEHeart]

Hi, is the South East exit near to find after getting off the narita express? Thank you!

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi Thanks for watching! It's not that hard if you follow the right sign.

[@Kim-jl4id]

Hi! Your video is very informative and easy to follow. Can I purchase the N’Ex round trip ticket to Shinjuku and return from Yokohama to Narita? Total stay is 12 days. Thank you

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi! Thanks for watching! Sure you can! This ticket covers Shinjuku and Yokohama within a 14 day validity period.

[@maricelsanagustin6609]

Upon arrival at the Shijuku station, is it easy to find the EAST exit with a luggage?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi! Thanks for watching. I gotta say it's not that easy to go EAST exit. It's like 7,8 min walk. South is the definitely easiest!

[@morenitaD_real]

Hello. Can I take the Narita express from Narita airport straight to Shinjuku, or do I need to transfer at some point? Please advise how to proceed. Thanks!

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi! Thanks for watching! u don’t have to transfer. Just get a ticket to Shinjuku. This train will take you there directly!

[@morenitaD_real]

@@wearelostinjapan someone mentioned you need to board an specific car number bc it splits in Tokyo station… can you please help clarify? Thanks so much again.😊

[@bk10200]

​@@morenitaD_realYour ticket shows specific car and seat numbers. All seats are reserved. No worries.

[@itsmebrenda]

Thank you

[@notbuddha3982]

Thank you 🙏🏻 this video was very helpful

[@哥坤-s7o]

Hi, If I bought a round trip ticket, Can I book my return trip to Narita Airport at any train station vending machine or I can only book it at the train station that has the Nex line? Another question is can I book the return trip on the day itself when I am returning to the airport. Say I book a return trip for a Nex train that is arriving in 30mins time at the vending machine of the Asakusa station Nex line?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi, thanks for watching! You can buy a Nex ticket any JR stations. You can buy it from vending machines or ticket office. You can book a ticket when you buy it.

[@username0320]

so if i will stay in Shinjuku, NEX has a direct trip from Narita. Skyliner would be faster but i have to change at Nippori. so NEX would be better? or still Skyliner?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Definitely NEX! 100%!

[@MEJNURZATULIFFAHBINTIABDULMALI]

Can we use debit card or wise card to buy the ticket at vending machine

[@mayurikhadilkar3585]

Hello i have already bought Narita nex round trip pass and only need to reserve seat when i reach airport,as if there is any delay i am not pre resererving any seats. Can you explain how to reserve seat from vending machine when u already have pass

[@popaiken8715]

Say I buy a JR pass and make a reservation for a bullet train seat. What if I miss that train? Do I have to make a reservation again for the next train?

[@wearelostinjapan]

You have to cancel it and need to make a reservation again!

[@abbieg3344]

Hello! Just wanted to ask your best advise on my flight situation;)- flight arrival at Narita is at 8:00pm. Undecided whats best train to take going to Shin-okubo/ Shinjuku. Worried if 1.5 hrs is enough to get through immigration to luggage before we can get tickets to trains;) What can you advise? Thank you!😊

[@wearelostinjapan]

The last Narita Express train to Shinjuku leaves at 21:44. Also, the bus to Shinjuku runs until around 23:00.

[@esturudiktyo5602]

Thank you for clear explanation. Do my 5 year old kid need to buy ticket?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi Thanks for watching! No he doesn’t. Under 6 years old are free!

[@angtol839]

is it necesasry to reserve ahead? like via klook? because im worried if the flight gets delayed.

[@allanwong2688]

Great video, thank you! Quick question, but if you purchase a round trip ticket upon arrival to Narita, do you have to purchase the return ticket as well from Shinjuku back to Narita at the same time? Much thanks! 😊

[@wearelostinjapan]

There is no need to buy a round-trip ticket. However, round-trip tickets are discounted.

[@tj55749]

Does the Suica card work with the nex?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Yes It does as basic fare ticket. You still have to buy a express ticket though.

[@neettim]

My partner and I plan on taking this exact route! My one concern though is the luggage space as we'll be carrying large luggages. Will NEX be able to accommodate 4 large luggages?

[@elcubanito2442]

Why do you travel with so much luggage?

[@savannawind]

Hi thanks for the video, Are there luggage restrictions? Where do you put the luggage?

[@wearelostinjapan]

There are no baggage restrictions. There are three locations: the luggage storage area right at the entrance (5:48), the space under your feet, and the space above your head.

[@niravshah6934]

So, is it cheaper to buy a round trip ticket on Narita express if you’re leaving Narita in 14 days? We will be going to Shinjuku on arrival to Narita and on our way back we will becoming from Kyoto. So, I assume we will board Narita express at Tokyo station. Does the round trip ticket work well in that case?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks for watching! Yes it works. I hardly recommend to get a round trip ticket in your case!!

[@arkandbke]

Hi does Shinjuku Station have a rideshare area to take a taxi or go to where you’re going?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Unfortunately no.

[@nader1a]

Hello. Is there a reputable & economical guide to hire there?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi Thanks for watching! Yes there are some you can hire at the airport!

[@steffie.7818]

Hi! For the basic fare + limited express ticket, is it both on just one ticket? Since the machine prints out two, do we use both tickets or do we only have to use one of them to go through Narita gates + Shinjuku gates? Thanks so much!

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hi! Thanks for watching. If your final destination is same as Narita express stop, you just get on ticket. If your final destination is somewhere but not same as Narita express stop, you will get two tickets. You only need the basic fare ticket to go though the gate!

[@yllanesartscrafts5287]

Hi can I ask where to buy the ticket? Do it need card or cash? Please advise.

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks for watching! You can use the both. Please watch it from 1:36. Here is the link below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onSXhnSFmZabh80si=thLTD5pcT-NO26LG&t=96

[@paulanthony7910]

So initially I thought we would have to get off the train and back on halfway to Shinjuku. Is this not true? Also it seems important to board car 7-11?

[@wearelostinjapan]

Narita Express goes directly Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shibuya and Shinjuku. Car No 1 -6 goes Yokohama and 7 -11 goes to Shinjuku. This train will split at Tokyo station.

[@etphonehome9243]

Quick question. Does this take you directly to Shinjuku station. Like I won't have to get off and transfer to a different train at tokyo station

[@wearelostinjapan]

Yes. This train takes you to Shinjuku Station directly. No transfer.

[@MirosCarsandAdventures]

May i ask which hotel did you stay in shinjuku

[@wearelostinjapan]

Thanks for watching! I live in Japan!

[@devyanijain3895]

Can we buy this ticket after landing? Or do we have to buy this well in advance on any online portal?

[@wearelostinjapan]

You can buy it online, but it's ok to buy it when you arrive!

[@daeriousjames2220]

Hi, would you recommend Airport limo bus service to Shinjuku or by Narita Express train ?

[@wearelostinjapan]

At the end of this video, there is a comparison table of NEX, train, and bus, so please refer to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKHKZKKHp7pjocU

[@nirvanabridgeman]

Hello, I purchased this Suica card on my Apple Wallet. I got like 3,000 Yen on it, could I use this too to hop on the Narita Express? Thank you 🥰

[@wearelostinjapan]

Hello! Yes you do. But you still need to buy this express ticket from vending machine or at the thicket office.

[@nirvanabridgeman]

@@wearelostinjapan Alright thank you! 🥰 I suppose I could pay with the Suica card like a credit card?

How do we exit Shinjuku station? I heard it’s very big and easy to get lost

It's spacious, but you can get to the ground quickly. There are many signs in easy-to-understand English.
