Why is it an excellent option? The Narita Limousine Bus stops at many of the hotels in Tokyo, so it’s practically a ‘door to door’ service. No carrying suitcases around. Your luggage is put on the bus, and off the bus straight to the hands of the hotel employees.Even if your hotel is not included in the bus route it would be wise to take a short Taxi drive from the nearest hotel on the route.

The Reason? Going by train means carrying your suitcases up and down train stairs and trying to fit them in the small luggage compartments on the train, and that is not an easy task with heavy suitcases.
