Narita Express Suspended / Keisei Skyliner

JR Ticket Office Map

To get to the airport on our final day we had made seat reservations for Japan Railway's Narita Express. Alas, when we arrived at the station platform we found an empty train with loudspeaker announcements that the Narita Express line had been temporarily suspended. Yikes!

We backtracked to the JR Ticket Office. Their advice: take the Yamanote Line to Nippori Station, then take the Keisei Skyliner to Narita Airport. (See helpful map above.) Needless to say, we hadn't planned to do any of this, but we ended up making our way over to track number 15 - with suitcases - and got aboard the Yamanote Line bound for Nippori Station. Luckily, we had taken the train to Nippori several times before, so the route there wasn't unfamiliar.

As I guess we could have expected, when we got to the station the line for Skyliner tickets was really quite long.
