Taking the Tokyo Keisei Skyliner

When I was planning my commute to Tokyo from Narita Airport, I mainly considered two train options: the Keisei Skyliner and the JR Narita Express (N’EX). These two are quite the speed monsters, especially when placed side-by-side with more economical alternatives, like the JR Sobu Line and the Keisei Limited Express. Below, let’s have a closer look at N’EX and the Skyliner:

  • In terms of travel time, the Keisei Skyliner takes 41-55 minutes, while the JR Narita Express clocks in at 60 minutes.
  • For standard one-way ticket pricing, the Keisei Skyliner will set you back around ¥2410-2680 or $22.8-25.4, while a N’EX ticket would cost ¥3,000 or $28.4.
  • Popularity and recommendation-wise, a lot of travelers say that the JR Narita Express is the more comfortable option to travel between Narita Airport and Tokyo.

Given all these items, I purchased the Keisei Skyliner ticket not only for its cheaper price, but also because the ride is ulta-fast. At 160 kph, the Skyliner is actually one of Japan’s fastest trains, which I wanted to experience as well!
