    Important Notes Before Traveling

    • • The best way to get to Tokyo from the airport is by taking the Narita Express train or the Limousine Bus. Both are convenient and comfortable options that take about an hour to reach the city center.

    • • The main mode of transport in Tokyo is the subway system, which is fast, efficient, and easy to use. You can buy a prepaid card called Suica or Pasmo to pay for your fares. Alternatively, you can get a Japan Rail Pass if you plan to travel around Japan by train.
