Narita to Tama
 

I've been told that there is now a direct train from Narita airport to Tama Center. Is this true and if so, where do I catch it? How much is the fare?

I did not see any direct train to Tama from Narita Airport. Best I saw was 2 changes. Check www.hyperdia.com for routes and fares.

You mean Keio Tama Center? By train you have to take Narita Express to Shinjuku and change to the private Keio line to Tama Center.
There is also a limousine bus from Narita to Tama Center. Leaves the airport 8 times a day and takes around 125 to 150 min. One-way fare is 3300 yen.

The bus leaves from the bus stops outside the arrivals level on both terminals. You pay on the bus, no advance reservation required (but needed for catching one to the airport).

Thanks. Limo bus sounds like the way to go. I don't want to do any transfers with a suitcase. Is there a bus stop specifically just for Tama buses?

ATerminal 1 North Wing - Bus stop #4
Terminal 1 South Wing - Bus stop #13
Terminal 2 - Bus stop #4 and #14
You have to get your ticket at the ticket counter iside the terminal building - clearly signed, and I'm sure they will point out the correct stop # for you.

Thank you, this is very helpful.
