Tokyo is connected by a vast network of highly efficient train and subway lines. Taxis are convenient but can often take longer to reach your destination and is fairly expensive. It is recommended that you get a Tokyo train/subway map at the airport or at your hotel. When using the train system, keep your ticket as you will need it not only to enter the station but also to exit.
From Narita Airport to ELSI
There are three cost and time efficient ways to get from Narita Airport into Tokyo. In the rare event that one train line is severely delayed or stopped, the others are good alternatives.
Narita Express --or N'EX-- is a fast and convenient way to travel from Narita Airport to major hub stations in Tokyo.
- 1)
- To get to ELSI, take the Narita Express to Shinagawa, then transfer to the JR Keihin-Tohoku line bound for Oimachi, Omori, Kamata and Kawasaki. Oimachi is one stop from Shinagawa Station.
- 2)
- At Oimachi, follow signs to transfer to the Tokyu Oimachi Line. On the Tokyu Oimachi line, you can take either an Express --2nd stop-- or a Local --7th stop-- to Ookayama station. ELSI is in the Ishikawadai area of Tokyo Institute of Technology's Ookayama campus. It is about a 10-minute walk from the station.
