transport from narita airport to asakusa

My friends and I are arriving in Narita Airport on May 1 at 5;10 pm. What is the most convenient and fastest means of transport from Narita Airport Terminal 2 to Kuramae, Asakusa.

Thank you.

That would be to take the Skyliner from Terminal 2 to Ueno station, it takes 40 minutes, then take an easy walk along the big road to Ueno-okachimachi station and take the Oedo line to Kuramae Station station, which is a 3 minutes ride. From the time you board the Skyliner to your arrival will be about 1 hour. The price will be about 2,700 JPY/adult

Here is the same suggestion on Google maps: https://goo.gl/maps/oWAAK76eDez

Route 1(by Skyliner first) is the fastest but transfering need walk a bit longer not good.
So Route 2 and 3 enough and cheaper no need ticket gate out at Aoto stn easiest.
Route 2 means 1 min transfer but no worry just move right to left of same platform.

But NRT evening flight schedule everyday very busy arr/dep both.

Especially 1 May means Golden Week(travel rush week) will be super busy.
So you might not on the time arr also immigration/custom out so easier.

Anyway, take a Keisei(Railway company name)
LtdExp(via Keisei main line/no need LtdExp fee/NOT book a Skyliner) first then take a regular train.
Oshiage is border stn as Keisei and Toei(one of Subway company name) Asakusa ‚Œine.
Kuramae stn belonging Toei Asakusa Line.
Same train goes to Kuramae(and far) from Aoto no need transfering no worry.

I'd at any time take the comfort in the Skyliner after an International flight, I'm sure that the 1,500 JPY difference is not killing anyones budget. I'd even take a Taxi from Ueno station, it will be less than 1,000 yen from there to Kuramae, Asakusa.

I think the issue is more with the transfers than the comfort level or cost on the Skyliner. The Skyliner route ends up with about a 500 m walking transfer between stations to transfer to a possibly crowded subway train, while the main line route just involves hopping out of the train and into the following train on the same platform. Since the main line originates at the airport, seating shouldn't be a problem, but it will be sideways seats rather than front facing ones like on the Skyliner. Either route has its difficulties, so just pick your poison.

I would probably opt for the main line route myself, unless you are travelling with small children or the elderly, in which case I'd go Skyliner to Ueno and taxi from there.
