Asakusa to Narita Airport by Keisei Express 2017/4/22 03:47
Hello! I'm going to Japan soon, and will be staying in Asakusa.
I'd like to take the Keisei Access Express to and from Narita airport, but I can't figure out how often it goes, and where exactly in Asakusa does the Keisei train stop?

I'm going home again early in the morning, so I'd like to be in Narita at about 09:00AM. Is that possible with the keisei express?

Thanks!

It is a rather confusing website, indeed.

To see departure times from Narita Airport in direction of Asakusa, access the below URL and then click on the orange "Access Express" button. It will show you the departure times of Access Express trains from Narita Airport Terminal 1. All the trains except the ones which are marked with a U (for Ueno) will directly get you to Asakusa. In other words: there are departures every 40 minutes during most of the day until around 4-5pm, after which there are no more direct trains. A transfer is required at Aoto then.

In the opposite direction, the website does not offer timetables.

I recommend to use Hyperdia to look up the connections:

This page explains the basics about using Hyperdia:

where exactly in Asakusa does the Keisei train stop?

By the time it reaches Asakusa, it is known as Asakusa Subway Line. This is where the platform is located:

I'm going home again early in the morning, so I'd like to be in Narita at about 09:00AM. Is that possible with the keisei express?

There is a direct departure at 7:52 on weekdays and 7:55 on weekends that arrives at Narita Airport around 9am:

Hi Melody,
Have you tried using Hyperdia to search for your trip? It will tell you the names of the trains that will take you from Asakusa to Narita. At some times of the day you won't have to change trains at all during the trip.

Since Asakusa is a Toei station (as far as trains to Narita are concerned), its timetable is on the Toei website.

It is easy to get to Narita this way early in the day although I will admit that I found this route so confusing that I ended up walking from Asakusa to Keisei Ueno & getting the train from there.

The 7.52am from Asakusa will get you to the airport by 9am with no changes required. Very easy, just hop on at Asakusa and relax. The indicator board will say something like Narita Airport, just make sure you catch the right train as trains are very frequent!
