If you’re landing at Narita International Airport and heading to Tokyo, the Keisei Skyliner is one of the smartest ways to start your trip. Fast, comfortable, and reliable, this express train takes you straight into the city in under 45 minutes. Even better, when you pre-purchase your physical Skyliner ticket from HIS Travel Singapore, you skip the queues and start your trip stress-free.
✨ Why Take the Keisei Skyliner?
The Keisei Skyliner is known for being the fastest airport train service between Narita and Tokyo. It takes just 36 minutes to reach Nippori Station and 41 minutes to Ueno, with trains departing every 20 minutes. This makes it faster than taxis or even the popular JR Narita Express (N’EX). If you’re staying in eastern Tokyo — like Ueno, Asakusa, Akihabara, or Ginza — it is extremely convenient to take the Keisei Skyliner instead.
The train also offers a fully reserved seating system, which means you’ll always have a guaranteed seat. This is a huge plus after a long-haul flight, especially during busy travel seasons when other airport transport options might be overcrowded. Add to that spacious seats, ample luggage storage, free Wi-Fi, and charging outlets, and you have one of the most comfortable airport transfers available.
Best of all, the Skyliner is more affordable than the JR Narita Express. You get speed and convenience at a better value.
Keisei Skyliner vs Narita Express (N’EX): Which is Better?
While the Narita Express is another option to consider, it may not be the best fit for every traveler. The N’EX travels to central and western Tokyo areas like Tokyo Station, Shinagawa, Shibuya, and Yokohama. However, it takes longer — usually around 53 minutes to Tokyo Station — and costs about ¥3,000 for a one-way ride.
On the other hand, the Keisei Skyliner costs less (around ¥2,520 for a one-way ticket from Narita to Ueno) and is significantly faster to eastern Tokyo. Its higher frequency of service also makes it easier to catch a train without waiting long.

💡 Travel Tips: Why Skyliner Makes Sense from Narita
Many travelers from Singapore opt for flights to Haneda Airport, but here’s something to consider:
Flights to Narita Airport are often cheaper — especially on budget carriers or during peak holiday seasons. By pairing your Narita arrival with the Skyliner, you still enjoy fast, easy access to Tokyo, at a lower overall cost.
In fact, the money saved from a cheaper Narita flight often covers the cost of your Skyliner ride. Planning ahead with HIS means you can take advantage of these savings, without sacrificing convenience or comfort.
✅ Final Thoughts
If you’re flying into Narita and want to reach Tokyo quickly, affordably, and comfortably, the Keisei Skyliner is your best bet. And with a ticket purchased through HIS Travel Singapore, your trip begins without any hiccups.
PS: Reserve the first seat of each cabin (depending on the direction of the train) to ensure that you are the nearest to the luggage space! When going back to Narita airport, it is recommended to board the train from Keisei Ueno station to guarantee a luggage space instead of Nippori station which tends to get more crowded.
