About Keisei Skyliner + Tokyo Subway Ticket

The Keisei Skyliner is Japan's fastest airport train — a sleek limited express service operating between Narita Airport and central Tokyo on the Narita Sky Access Line with all reserved seating, 105 cm pitch reclining seats, individual power outlets, luggage space, and security cameras. It operates every 20 to 40 minutes throughout the day from early morning to late evening, departing from the basement floor of Narita Airport Terminals 1, 2, and 3, and arriving at Nippori (36 minutes — JR Yamanote Line connection) and Keisei Ueno (41 minutes — Tokyo Metro Ginza and Hibiya Line connection) without stopping at intermediate stations.

Combined with the Tokyo Subway Ticket — which provides unlimited rides on all 9 Tokyo Metro lines and all 4 Toei Subway lines for 24, 48, or 72 consecutive hours from first use — the Keisei Skyliner + Tokyo Subway Ticket bundle represents the most convenient, time-efficient, and cost-effective airport-to-city transfer and city transport package available for international visitors arriving at Narita. The two tickets operate independently — the Skyliner ticket is valid for a single ride between Narita Airport and Keisei Ueno Station (one-way) or a return journey (round-trip), while the Tokyo Subway Ticket validity begins only when you first tap through a subway gate, not when you board the Skyliner. This means you can take the Skyliner on arrival, sightsee in the Ueno area, and then activate your subway ticket later in the day when you need it — maximising every hour of the validity window.

Exchange your online voucher at the Skyliner and Keisei Information Center at Narita Airport Terminal 1 or Terminal 2/3 station — passport required — and collect both physical tickets before boarding the Skyliner. The ticket is available exclusively to foreign visitors and both components are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase, giving complete flexibility on when you travel.

Insiders' Tips

Activate your Tokyo Subway Ticket at the subway gate on the morning of your first full sightseeing day — not at Ueno Station on the evening of your arrival — to maximize every hour of the 24, 48, or 72-hour validity window. On the Skyliner, sit on the right side of the train on the outbound journey from Narita for views of the Chiba countryside as the city gradually appears. Ueno Station is the most versatile arrival point

Keisei Skyliner + Tokyo Subway Ticket Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Keisei Skyliner + Tokyo Subway Ticket?
The Keisei Skyliner + Tokyo Subway Ticket is a specially discounted combo available exclusively to foreign visitors, bundling a reserved Skyliner seat between Narita Airport and central Tokyo with unlimited Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway travel for 24, 48, or 72 hours. Both tickets are valid for 6 months from purchase, and the subway ticket validity begins only when you first tap through a subway gate.
How fast is the Keisei Skyliner from Narita Airport?
The Keisei Skyliner reaches Nippori Station in as little as 36 minutes from Narita Airport Terminal 2/3 and Keisei Ueno Station in 41 minutes — making it the fastest train service between Narita Airport and central Tokyo. The Skyliner runs every 20 to 40 minutes throughout the day with all reserved seating and no intermediate stops.
What is the difference between Nippori and Keisei Ueno as arrival stations?
Nippori Station provides a convenient transfer to the JR Yamanote Line and Keihin-Tohoku Line — ideal for reaching Shinjuku, Shibuya, Akihabara, and most of Tokyo's major tourist districts. Keisei Ueno provides direct access to the Tokyo Metro Ginza and Hibiya Lines, is steps from Ueno Park, the museums, and Ameyoko market, and offers JR Shinkansen connections at nearby JR Ueno Station.
When does the Tokyo Subway Ticket validity start?
The 24, 48, or 72-hour validity of the Tokyo Subway Ticket begins from the moment you first tap through a subway gate — not from when you board the Skyliner or exchange your voucher at the airport. This means you can arrive, take the Skyliner to Ueno, and activate the subway ticket later in the day or even the following morning — maximising every hour of the validity window.
Should I choose the one-way or round-trip Skyliner option?
The round-trip option is the best value if you plan to both arrive and depart through Narita Airport. Choose the one-way option if you are departing from Haneda Airport or another city, arriving from a different country, or planning to leave Tokyo by Shinkansen. The one-way Skyliner ticket can be used in either direction — from Narita to central Tokyo or from central Tokyo to Narita.
Can I use the Tokyo Subway Ticket on the Yamanote Line?
No — the Tokyo Subway Ticket covers all Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway lines but does not include JR-operated lines such as the Yamanote Line, Chuo Line, or Sobu Line. For travel on JR lines, a prepaid IC card such as Suica or PASMO is required. Carrying an IC card alongside the Tokyo Subway Ticket is recommended for comprehensive coverage of Tokyo's transport network.
Where do I collect the Keisei Skyliner + Tokyo Subway Ticket?
Exchange your online voucher at the Skyliner and Keisei Information Center located at Narita Airport Terminal 1 Station or Terminal 2/3 Station — both on the basement floor of the terminal buildings. Your passport is required for collection as this ticket is exclusively available to foreign visitors. Both the Skyliner ticket and Tokyo Subway Ticket physical cards are issued at the same counter.
Is the Keisei Skyliner comfortable for passengers with luggage?
Yes — the Skyliner is specifically designed with international travellers in mind, with dedicated overhead and floor-level luggage space throughout the carriages. The winner of the Good Design Award in 2010, it features 105 cm pitch reclining seats with individual power outlets at every seat. Keisei also offers a luggage delivery service at Narita Airport for guests who want to travel into the city hands-free and receive their bags at their hotel.
Is the Keisei Skyliner + Tokyo Subway Ticket available to all visitors?
The combo ticket is available exclusively to foreign visitors to Japan — a passport is required when exchanging the voucher at Narita Airport and Japanese residents cannot purchase it. Up to 8 passengers can be included in a single online booking, and the purchase can be made up to 30 days before the intended travel date.
