From Narita T2 to Funabori Station 2018/10/14 13:27
I tried to google & found that:

Option 1: Keisei Skyliner requires a transfer at Ueno station -> Walk from Ueno- Hirokojiko to Ueno-Okachimachi, then transfer at Morishita, blah blah blah... The whole process looks confusing to me. :(


Option 2: Take Tokkyu for Haneda then transfer to Keisei main line rapid express for narita T1, then transfer at Keisei Yawata, blah blah blah. Confusing.... :(

Option 3: Take NEX to Shinjuku & then take direct Toei line to Funabori. So far, this seems to involve the least transfer, & so seems most convenient, that is, assuming from where the train stops, I can find Toei Line easily with 3 luggage & a little lid in tow! BUT the journey takes almost 2 hours! (NEX takes about 90 mins from Narita T2 to Shinjuku)

Is there a faster & more convenient to get to Funabori station, short of taking a taxi?

Please advise. Thank you.

You can take Keisei bus to Ichinoe station and then take subway if your flight fits the bus timetable.

From Ichinoe, Funabori is one stop by Toei Shinjuku line.

The result of "Google Maps" always gives priority to travel time,
it means when fastest LtdExp SKYLINER is driving can not search by excluding this train.
So best transfer is take "Keisei Main Line" train to "Keisei Yawata",
then a bit walk to subwayToei Shinjuku line "Moto-Yawata" station and to Funabori.
If you search by the time btw SKYLINER trains driving, you may get same cheapest route.

But this rail map is the best that I tried to rewrite for understanding.

This video is the transfer, but opposite route fr MotoYawata to Keisei Yawata and stations map.

However, above map that I wrote is a simple version already you may notice,
so I only put the routes and major stations necessary for answering your Q.
BC if you try to remember all rail route maps in Tokyo,
you may not be able to remember all even if you keep watching every day for 3 years.
Do you have confidence to find "Funabori" station
within 60 mins on this rail map without description above, Do you want to try?

Hi Frog1954,

I am sorry but I am not able to open the link. It says something like "No licence to execute translation". Strange.


Hi mivex,

Thank you very much for sending me the google link. It may sound silly but I had not thought of using Google to find my way as I only thought about Hyperdia... :p

Many thanks too for the link to the video. I did not know I could walk underground from Keisai-Yawata to Moto-Yawata. That is a great help! :)

And thank you for the map showing how to connect from Keisai-Yawata to Moto-Yawata, & adding Funabori station to your own rail map.

I surrender. I am overwhelmed. Attoteki desu. I profess I could not find Funabori station within 60 seconds...

Something wrong might happen for the link I posted. You might be able to use google translate.

Hi frog1954,

Thanks very much for that Keisei bus link indeed. It is the most convenient option for me.

I like to know as I will be arriving at Narita T2 at 4:05pm, I am wondering if the road from T2 To Ichinoe station will be congested with peak hour traffic or not. Is anyone familiar with that stretch of road?

Secondly, I like to know from where the bus lets us alight, do we have to cross the road to get to Ichinoe station? I did a Google check & I saw there was an overhead bridge! (Gasps!) And there was a barrier in the middle of the road so no one can jaywalk. I am hoping that the bus stop is right beside an entrance to Ichinoe station, so that it is convenient for all passengers to access.

I am not familiar with this area, but as far as I searched, this is Ichinoe station bus stop from Narita airport.

https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6857087,139.8820886,3a,86.8y,314.55h,8...

You will see the Airport bus and Ichinoe subway station.

And this is the station map of Ichinoe.

https://www.kotsu.metro.tokyo.jp/subway/stations/ichinoe.html

A0 is the lift from the ground to the station gate and you can see another lift from the station gate level to the platform level. So if I understand correctly you don't need to use stairs to get the subway at Ichinoe.

Google Maps suggests roads could be crowded on weekends around Route 14 or Route 16.
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/¬“c‹ó`/‘D–x‰w/@35.7117175,139.9807927,11z/

This Google StreetView indicates the whitish Keisei Bus arrives at the left of the image and the entrance elevator to the subway station is just at the right. It looks an ideal transfer.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6858113,139.8824766,3a,60y,26.29h,90.9...

After you get off the elevator marked A2 in the figure below, go into the gate and take another elevator to the island platform. That's it.

Funabori station also has elevators. The train tracks are upstairs there.

The transfer from Keisei-Yawata to Motoyawata involves some walk.

You need to use two elevators to come out from Keisei-Yawata; one up from the pink platform marked 1F and the other down to the grey 1F below M2F.
http://www.keisei.co.jp/keisei/tetudou/stationmap/pdf/jp/117.pdf

Now you are here in the picture below. You need to go to the right. There is a narrow corridor at the left of the building with a red sign.
https://www.google.co.jp/maps/@35.7237978,139.9279562,3a,75y,244.69h,9...

You would see the same red sign saying YAMADA on the building in the center of this photo. You come from this corridor at the right of this building from the north. Or, you may go through inside this building. The elevator entrance to Motoyawata is at the left of this picture.
https://www.google.co.jp/maps/@35.7227298,139.9270711,3a,75y,11.53h,10...

Then, you need to follow the red line in this figure. Go down with the elevator, go into the gate, and another down elevator to the platform.
https://www.kotsu.metro.tokyo.jp/eng/services/subway/stations/motoyawa...

If you see a patio along the corridor, you are on a right track. You could see its design with this satellite image. The corridor is not straight through.

I clicked on this link https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6858113,139.8824766,3a,60y,26.29h,90.9...

But the whole image of the bus at Ichinoe station was rather distorted, be it 2D, 3D or 4d. I clicked 'refresh' button a few times but it was still like that. I am wondering if this is due to security reason? Maybe only residents in Japan can have access to a proper image. But the rest of the images were okay.


Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to help me. I truly appreciate your kind gesture. You know exactly at which part of the journey the tourist will stop & wonder if she is going the correct way & you kindly guided me step by step with images to boot. A BIG BIG BIG thank you to you & of course to frog1954. Kokoro yori kansha moshiagemasu.

Re: From Narita T2 to Funabori Station 2018/11/3 18:34
I confirmed the last link I had listed was broken. I do not understand Google's URL system fully. The image I had intended to show you a satellite image from this map.
https://www.google.co.jp/maps/@35.7233061,139.9271305,18.76z
If I click the button at the lower left corner to show the satellite version, it becomes this.
https://www.google.co.jp/maps/@35.7233061,139.9271305,199m/data=!3m1!1...
I suspect the part of "/data=!3m1!1e3" indicates a temporary file at a Google server. We could see it after a short interval, but not for a longer one. The design mimics Ninja's Shuriken.

Anyway, the rule of thumb is to choose a transfer at a smaller station. Motoyawata is bigger, however, it is a terminal. There would be more chance to take a seat.
