Narita - Asakusa

We will arrive at Narita airport at 8:00 p.m. At night time what is the easiest and cheapest way to go to Asakusa Kaminarimon subway station?
Can the 72 hour Tokyo subway Ticket JPY 1500 be used from Narita airport? Where in Narita can it be bought?
Thank you

Use Google maps or similar, but it would seem that Keisei skyliner is the train you�fd want to take. Only one change within the same railway company.

Can the 72 hour Tokyo subway Ticket JPY 1500 be used from Narita airport? Where in Narita can it be bought?
No. But there is a different pass including also Keisei skyliner:

This page also explains where to buy it.

The Tokyo subway pass is not valid on all subways in Tokyo. Only �gTokyo metro�h and �gtoei�h Line. They are the biggest, but for example it is not valid on Yurikamome Line. Nor JR. (Which isn�ft a subway anyway).

Enjoy your trip to Japan!

JR. (Which isn�ft a subway anyway)

Urikamome isn't a "subway" either. The definition of "subway" is increasingly tricky. In Tokyo, the simple answer is: Think that Metro and Toei are the only "subway"s. But the thing is that these lines are often automatically connected to lines of other railway companies.

Originally, in Japan, "subway" was another word for "underground rail", and all of the other dozen or so railway companies in Tokyo alone used to run its commuter trains overground. Plus JR used to be a whole different type of organization. But nowadays all the railways are being moved underground and being connected to each other (for example, the same Tokyo Metro train starts running along another company's railway track from certain stations, under different fare systems).

So it's really tricky for visitors to distinguish "subway" from others. I wish websites show maps for all passes instead of just saying something like "(for) All Tokyo Metro lines". But the 72-hr pass does show a map, and as the OP had probably guessed, the pass is not valid from Narita Airport. And note that trains may keep on running beyond this map under a different fare.

That said, once you enter central Tokyo, most popular touristic sites are accessible by Tokyo Metro and Toei. But note that there are also the convenient JR Yamanote Line and JR Chuo/Sobu Lines that run overground allowing you to view the central city of Tokyo, and they are JR not Metro or Toei.

(No nastiness intended at all)This question comes up quite often as the route from Narita to Asakusa isnt straightforward. If you search this forum you will find quite a lot of discussion. I would suggest Keisei or N'ex to Ueno & Tokyo Metro Ginza Line to Asakusa.

JR Narita Express [N�fEX] trains do not run to Ueno Station.

Keisei Skyliner trains and some other Keisei trains run to Keisei Ueno Station.
Keisei Ueno Station and subway Ueno Station (on Tokyo Metro Ginza Line) are located apart from each other; one underground passage connects the two stations, which is fully equipped with elevators.

what is the easiest and cheapest way to go to Asakusa Kaminarimon subway station?

Generally the cheapest way of transportation is not the easiest way.

Which terminal of Narita Airport will you arrive at?
What place near subway Asakusa Station will you head first to?
(There is no station with "Kaminarimon" in the name.)
How many travelers will you be?

One option is to go first to Ginza by the Access Narita bus (1000 yen per adult), walk a little then take a subway train on Tokyo Metro Ginza Line from Ginza (G-09) to (G-19) Asakusa.

Actually there are two subway Asakusa Stations.
: Asakusa Station (G-19) on Tokyo Metro Ginza Line.
: Asakusa Station (A-18) on Toei Subway Asakusa Line.

- Map (in Japanese) of subway Asakusa Stations
http://www.tokyometro.jp/station/yardmap_img/_station_%E6%B5%85%E8%8D%...

In Tokyo Metro Asakusa Station (G-19),
which is the east terminus of Ginza Line,
the exit which is closest to Kaminarimon is Exit 1.
When you get off a train which arrives at Track 2 (#),
you can pass through the nearby gate, walk on the passage and go up by elevator to this Exit 1.
#: On the body of Ginza Line train cars, you see signs indicating the track number of Asakusa Station.

In Toei Subway Asakusa Station (A-18),
the exit which is closest to Kaminarimon is Exit A4.
However, as you see in the station map,
there is a chain of staircases between the Toei Subway concourse and this Exit A4.
When you avoid staircases and choose another exit, you may hope to take a taxi.

@Omotenashi. Good point about the N'ex. I have no idea why I thought it stopped at Ueno. I am aware that the Keisei station & Ginza line Ueno stations are separate but I'd still go that way using the Skyliner. It's not a long walk between the two.

If you are transferring to the Metro Ginza line to Asakusa, then you can use the underground hallway that takes you right to the Ueno Metro entrance without much chance of getting lost.

There is also the "Access Express" line that Keisei runs from Narita to Haneda that goes through Asakusa station. It can take you Asakusa directly with no stops in about 50 minutes for less than 1500 yen. But it only runs until 3p on weekdays and 6p on weekends, so it may not work for your schedule.
