Discover the Narita Express (N'EX), the easiest way to go from Tokyo to the international Narita airport ! 

One of the easiest and most popular options is the Narita Express, or N'EX. The N'EX provides access from Narita Airport to major stations in the Tokyo metropolitan area, including Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Yokohama.

Just as in any other Shinkansen, you will find ordinary cars and Green Cars (first class). To board this train, you must reserve a ticket in advance. The Suica card or any other IC card does not work on the itinerary. 

The trip is covered by the JR Pass (National and Regional), but if the Japan Rail Pass is not suited for you, you can book your tickets in advance here
