Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and therefore one of the most important cities in this country. Currently there are many transport routes that allow you to reach this territory, although you must have knowledge about some important aspects.
If you are in Spain or in a country on the American continent, you have to bear in mind that the vast majority of airlines they do not make direct flights to Japanese lands. Almost all airlines make stopovers at various points in Europe such as London, Paris and Frankfurt.
Another point to keep in mind is that although Tokyo has two airports (Haneda and Narita), flights from Europe always land at the first. Japan's two main airlines are Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways. Narita International Airport (75 km northeast of Tokyo) is the most important in Japan and receives daily flights from different parts of Europe, the United States, Oceania and others.
From there you can choose between different transport such as bus, train or taxis to get to the city center (the latter can cost you around 200 euros). The buses will drop you directly at the most important hotels in the city, the average ticket price being 30 euros. If you choose to arrive by train, you have three alternatives:
Narita Express on the Japan railways line. Narita Express trains arrive in one hour to Tokyo Station and in ninety minutes to Sinjuku. The price of the ticket with a reserved seat is 35 euros. It also has routes to Yokohama.
Skyliner of the Keisei line. The price of the ticket with reserved seat is 18 euros and goes to Ueno station.
Keisei- Nippori-Ueno-JR Tokyo line trains. This is the cheapest service with prices ranging from 6 to 15 euros, it does not have reserved seats and the route takes an hour on average.
Many tourists do not choose Tokyo as their first destination when visiting Japan. If you want to get to the capital from other parts of the country, the best option is the train, since it is one of the means of transport with the best infrastructure in this nation. The bullet train is used daily by many passengers, since cities such as Kyoto and Osaka can be linked with Tokyo in a couple of hours.
Finally, we cannot fail to mention the Tokyo port where we find ferries to get around. It is the least recommended option (it is slow and more expensive) but it is still a viable way to get to Tokyo from other major ports in Southeast Asia.
