- You can purchase "Tokaido Shinkansen" tickets at the Narita airport train station ("JR train company") from Tokyo to Nagoya, or even at Tokyo station ticket center.
- Considering the possibility of the delay of your flight, you would better buy the Shinkansen ticket after you finished all the process at the airport.
- We have "Nozomi", "Hikari" and "Kodama" Shinkansen. You must take Nozomi, which is the fastest one. The Nozomi Shinkansen runs very often... about every 10 minutes... they are perfectly on-time.
- From Narita airport, we advice you to visit the train ticket center of "JR" company, and buy tickets
(1) Narita -> Tokyo station ("Narita Express" train, about 1 hour), and (2) Tokyo -> Nagoya ("Nozomi" Shinkansen, 1:40 hours).
You can tell the ticketing staff how long (about 30-40 minutes?) you want at Tokyo station for transfer...then they may suggest you an itinerary fits to your favor. The platform of Shinkansen is a bit far from the platform of Narita Express.
## For whom arriving at Haneda International Airport:
Please take local trains or Limousine bus to Tokyo station.
