The Skyliner is Keisei’s all-reserved airport express. It reaches Nippori in 36 minutes and Keisei Ueno in 41, every 20 to 40 minutes. Each car has a space for large luggage by the doors.
★Our pick Bought at the station
Keisei counter fare and online discount ticket price. Online tickets are exchanged at a station machine or counter, and queues can form.
It does not run to Tokyo Station or Shinjuku, so those trips change at Nippori or Ueno. Nippori to Tokyo Station takes about 10 minutes on JR for ¥200.
