3 Ways to Get from Nerima Station to Narita Airport Besides the Bus

We’ve covered how to get from Nerima Station to Narita Airport by bus.

Here are 3 alternatives to the bus.

  1. Train
  2. Taxi
  3. NearMe

[Alternative to the Bus from Nerima to Narita 1] Train

The first option is the train.

The route using the Keisei Skyliner is as follows:

Travel time is about 1 hour 17 minutes.

The route using the Keisei Main Line is as follows:

  • Nerima → Daimon (Toei Oedo Line)
  • Daimon → Narita Airport (Keisei Main Line)

The fare is ¥1,260.

Since trains aren’t affected by traffic congestion, they let you travel relatively on schedule.

Lower cost is another advantage.

If you want to keep your travel costs to the airport as low as possible, the train is a great choice.

[Alternative to the Bus from Nerima to Narita 2] Taxi

The second option is a taxi.

Nerima Station has a taxi stand in the north exit rotary of the Seibu Line.

Since there’s a taxi pool within the north exit rotary, several taxis are usually waiting there, making it quite convenient.

Even if there’s no taxi waiting when you arrive, you’re guaranteed to catch one if you wait.

A taxi from Nerima Station to Narita Airport costs about ¥26,000. Travel time is roughly 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours.

On weekends, you could get caught in traffic and the trip could take close to 2 hours 30 minutes. It’s reassuring to build in some extra time when using this option.

If you just want the easiest possible way to travel, a taxi is a good choice — but if cost is a concern, consider another option.

Let us share more about the appeal of NearMe, the service we at NearMe provide.

Here are 6 benefits of choosing NearMe for your trip to the airport.

  1. Flat-rate pricing
  2. Affordable fares
  3. Pickup from anywhere you like
  4. Online payment
  5. No need to carry heavy luggage around
  6. Comfortable travel in a spacious space

[Benefit 1] Flat-Rate Pricing

The first benefit is flat-rate pricing.

With NearMe, you’ll never be charged extra fees.

Once you book and complete online payment, the price is locked in.

With a taxi, the fare can change depending on road conditions.

But with NearMe, no matter how much traffic you hit or how long the ride takes, it’s a flat ¥5,980 per person.

On weekends or during long holidays, roads are often congested.

That can mean not only a longer ride but also a higher fare.

With NearMe, you can enjoy a comfortable trip without that kind of stress.

[Benefit 2] Affordable Fares

The second benefit is affordable pricing.

A taxi from Nerima Station to Narita Airport costs about ¥26,000.

But with NearMe, you can get there from ¥5,980 per person.

That means if you’re traveling in a group of 5 or fewer, it’s a better deal than a taxi.

With no extra charges, you can use it without worrying about hidden costs.

[Benefit 3] Pickup from Anywhere You Like

The third benefit is that you can be picked up from anywhere you like.

Anywhere within Tokyo’s 23 wards, you can be picked up.

When traveling or on a business trip, you inevitably end up with a lot of luggage, and the last thing you want to do is walk around.

Even just catching a taxi can be a hassle.

With NearMe, once you set a date, time, and location, we’ll come pick you up wherever you like.

You can be picked up from a hotel, a restaurant, your home — anywhere.

Not having to carry your luggage around and simply waiting wherever you like before heading to the airport is a huge advantage.

[Benefit 4] Online Payment

It’s even harder for families traveling with small children.

With NearMe, payment is complete once you pay online at the time of booking.

All you have to do is wait for the shuttle, board, and then get off and collect your luggage once you arrive at your destination.
