Keisei Line from / to the Airport Review

Japan have very good and complicated train network, covering most of the places. From Narita airport, you can take either the Keisei line or JR to Tokyo.

I was totally blur when I first saw this route map. I don't know how to read it, where to transfer and how to buy tickets! Well... it become easy for me on the 3rd day onwards, now I can tell where to transfer for a fast train to Shinjuku! (^0^)

SARS: Health Check Station Flying into / out of Tokyo Review

My trip was made when SARS deadly affecting many Asian countries. Each passenger have to go through a infra-red temperature scan before getting into the immigration counters, which is simple and fast, not much trouble though.

Narita International Airport Flying into / out of Tokyo Review

I love taking pictures from airplane windows. This one was taken when the plane was landing Tokyo Narita International Airport.

This is my first view of Japan! From far, I can see very houses & farm lands are neatly arranged... feel very Japanese.

In fact, this airport is not in Tokyo, it is located in Chiba-ken, which is a prefecture next to Tokyo. It takes about 45 mins by train from Narita airport to Tokyo city center.
