The Airport Narita is a rapid (i.e., express) train service in greater Tokyo provided by Japan Rail East for easy access between the south-western part of the greater Tokyo area and Narita Airport in neighboring Chiba Prefecture without having to change trains.
Unless you are using a Japan Rail Pass, the Airport Narita is a cheaper, but slower, alternative to using the JR Narita Express (N'EX).
The Airport Narita goes all the way to the Yokosuka Line as well, although with less frequency to stations towards the southern end of the Yokosuka Line.
The name "Airport Narita" is given only to trains going to Narita Airport; however, there are express (kaisoku) trains going the opposite direction, on the same Narita Line from Narita Airport, that serve the same stations the Airport Narita does, so are virtually the same service. For example, from Narita Airport there are 7 express trains daily that terminate at Zushi, 3 on weekdays (4 on weekends) that terminate at Yokosuka, and 8 on weekdays (9 on weekends) that terminate at Kurihama, the end of the Yokosuka Line.
Most Airport Narita trains are 15-car trains, two cars of which are double-decker Green Cars with more comfortable, reserved, seating.
