From Narita to Shimbashi 2016/2/9 17:45
Im arriving at Narita Airport and my hotel is close to Shimbashi station. Im planning of getting the JR Narita Express (NEX) and change at Tokyo Station to get to Shimbashi. My questions is can I use the same ticket? or do I have to use a Suica/Pasmo card from Tokyo to Shimbashi? Where is the best place to get the Suica/Pasmo card? at the airport?
thank you in advance

Unless you will have a JR Pass, you should probably take local trains, which are direct and cost less (but take about 15 minutes more).

In any case, you can buy all your tickets at Narita.

The JR fees which you should pay are
the basic fare to get from Narita Airport / Airport Terminal 2 Station to Shimbashi Station
and the Limited Express surcharge to board a Narita Express train until Tokyo Station.

Alternatively you can take a Rapid train to Tokyo Station if available, which does not require a surcharge in addition to the basic fare.
A JR Rapid train leaving NRT which is to go beyond Tokyo Station becomes a Local train there and then makes a stop at Shimbashi Station.

For your leg until Tokyo, any seat of a Narita Express train can be reserved in advance, while any seat of a Rapid train cannot.

If you travel from and back to NRT within 14 calendar days mainly boarding a Narita Express train on each of the two ways,
you can save your JR cost by choosing a discount N'EX TOKYO Round Trip Ticket package.
This discount package includes two one-day one-way tickets, which can be valid for 14 consecutive calendar days and used to travel by JR lines within the usage area from and to any of the two JR stations in NRT.
Each of the two tickets works both as a basic-fare ticket and as a Limited Express ticket.

can I use the same ticket?

Yes.
Unless you go through an exit gate of a station on the way, you can travel all the way to Shimbashi Station either with one JR basic-fare ticket, with the first ticket in the discount package or at one session of using a Suica Card.

A regular Narita Express leaving NRT is to go beyond Tokyo Station.
Usually you can get off your N'EX train and can catch a Local train (which is to run in the direction of Shimbashi) via the same Sobu Underground platform of Tokyo Station.

Where is the best place to get the Suica / PASMO card?

A Suica Card, JR tickets and the above-mentioned discount package are available in NRT, at JR East Travel Service Center in any of the two JR stations or, when the Center is closed, at the nearby JR Ticket Office.
You can also try to reserve seats of Narita Express trains there.

Currently there is no railroad station in NRT Terminal 3.
You can go between NRT Terminals 2 and 3 either on foot or by free shuttle bus.

Unless you will have a JR Pass, you should probably take local trains, which are direct and cost less (but take about 15 minutes more).

Narita Express from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station, 60 minutes. One way fare, all in, 2820 Yen (approx. $25 US / 22 Euro)

JR Sobu/Narita Line Rapid for ZUSHI from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station, 89 minutes. One way fare, all in, 1320 Yen (approx. $12 US / 10 Euro)

So you can save $13 US / 12 Euro and ride a local train for half as long again as it takes for the N'Ex to get to the same station.

A Haneda-bound Sky Access service from Keisei can get you to Shimbashi in as low as 66 minutes!

Change setting dep date and time at bottom.
No need tranfering at Aoto and Oshiage.
Aoto and Oshiage are just border station of Railway different line and different Railway companies.

Orange to Pink line is so.
N'EX(by JR-East) is Red line.

So you have to go "Keisei" ticket counter in Blue. (JR is Red)

Can you please just post the alternative route, and save us the sass. It's quite non-productive.
