We traveled to Japan for 10 days, visiting two regions: Kanto - Tokyo and Hokkaido - Sapporo, Otaru, and Hakodate.

As our accommodation in Tokyo was Khaosan World Asakusa Hostel, located in the Asakusa district, we had the option of taking the Keisei Line train to reach it.

However, due to a strong desire to save energy and a great aversion to dragging luggage, I opted for the airport's limousine bus service.

This review aims to provide insights into the city bus experience, as there seems to be a lack of information available.


Initially, I contemplated various transportation options for reaching the city. After reviewing the location of my accommodation, I discovered its proximity to the Asakusa, Kinshicho, Toyosu route of the limousine bus. The route conveniently terminates at the Asakusa View Hotel, my intended destination. Given this time-saving and cost-effective solution, I opted for the limousine bus.

You can check the bus schedule, departure time, destination, and price on this website.

We flew with Air Asia X and landed at Narita Airport Terminal 2 around 8:00 AM local time.

After clearing immigration and collecting your luggage, walk out of the door and look up to find this sign.


If your friends exit through different doors, just look left and right and you will find them. The counters are located on both the left and right sides, like this.

Upon arrival, inform the officer of your destination and the number of tickets you wish to purchase. The officer will issue a long ticket indicating the departure time, bus stop number, bus route, and final destination.

For those who are going to the Asakusa View destination like us, the first bus will depart at 10:25 AM. Bus stop number 16.



The next three buses (1-3) will be for which routes?


Once our bus arrives at the stop, we can wait in line at the designated area. When it is our turn to board the next bus, an officer will attach a tag with our luggage number and provide us with a luggage tag. Keep this tag safe as you will need it to claim your luggage when you get off the bus.


Upon departure, an announcement will remind passengers to fasten their seatbelts. Electrical outlets are available next to the seats, but it's important to note that in Japan, drivers often turn off their engines at red lights, which will interrupt the power supply to these outlets.


The bus journey time varies depending on traffic and the number of passengers boarding and alighting at each stop. The times shown in the website timetable are approximate. During our morning commute on a weekday, when there were few passengers, we arrived at our destination 40 minutes earlier than scheduled.

Upon arrival at your destination, the driver will get out of the car, open the trunk, and retrieve your luggage according to the number you provided. This ensures a hassle-free experience, eliminating the need for you to lift or carry anything.


I forgot to take a picture of the hotel entrance because I was a little embarrassed that the car was parked right in front of the door. However, we were not staying at this hotel, so there was no need to park so close to the entrance. ^^

The atmosphere around the hotel is pleasant. Walk a little further from here, dragging your luggage, and you will reach your accommodation.


The main advantages of traveling by limousine bus are comfort, convenience, and excellent service.

A disadvantage is that there are fewer buses per day, resulting in longer waiting times and travel durations compared to trains.

This is another option to consider.

Next, we will discuss the Tokyo Subway Ticket.

For those who frequently travel in Tokyo using the Tokyo Metro lines and Toei Subway lines,

Before you go, calculate where you are going, which bus to take, and how much money you will need.


After calculating the cost, the owner of the post found that buying this type of ticket was more economical, so they purchased a 3-Day Tokyo Subway Ticket.

Unlimited rides on these two lines for 3 days.

If you wish to purchase this type of ticket, the counter for Limo Scene Bus is located on the left-hand side next to the counter on the upper floor.

This Keisei bus counter also sells Tokyo Subway 1-Day, 2-Day, and 3-Day passes.

For those who wish to purchase only the Tokyo Subway ticket without the Skyliner bundle, you can do so here.

(However, if you enter the city via Skyliner and go downstairs, there will be promotional tickets available.)

This ticket is used by inserting it into a machine, similar to amusement park tickets. When you first purchase the ticket, there is no date on the back. When you insert the card for the first time, the ticket will be punched in the corner and the date will be stamped on the back of the card as the start date of use. The ticket will then be valid for 1, 2, or 3 days, starting from the date on the card.

For those of us traveling across regions, we often purchase a JR Pass from Thailand in advance.

To obtain the actual JR Pass, you must:

From the first floor where we picked up our bags, walk down to B1. Look towards the exit door, and you will see the way to the train.


Exit to the left and you will see a red sign that says "JR East Travel Service Center." You can exchange your JR Pass for the actual pass here.

This form is required to complete the application for a JR Pass.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.


The officials will emphasize the start and end dates to prevent us from making mistakes. Otherwise, we may use the pass on the wrong days and incur additional costs. Once the actual card is issued, it can be used to reserve seats on various JR train lines, including the Shinkansen.

This completes the process of managing various tickets at the airport.

At the JR East Travel Service Center, you can purchase an IC card, similar to the BTS's Suica card, which can be used for both top-up and tap-and-go payments. Alternatively, you can purchase the card from a vending machine.
