Tokyo Station and Nihombashi - Narita Airport | Scheduled Bus Services | Airport Limousine Bus
The limo bus goes directly to several hotels near Tokyo station.
3. I would bring about 1500 in cash and use credit cards at hotels and restaurants where you can.
4. Change your cash into yen before you go. That's one less thing you will have to worry about when you get to Japan.
5. A day trip to Hiroshima with a stop at Himeji is going to be a day with 3+ hours spent on the train. Doable, (and I like riding the bullet train) but just FYI. |
Thanks MMM!! If we decide to just activate the rail pass for the Narita Express to Tokyo station, should we try to book seats before even going to Japan or book at Narita?
Yea, we wondered about that Hiroshima day trip, but it just feels like something we should do while we're there. Thanks for the info! You are always very helpful.
