Tokyo Area Trains

Train Status in the Tokyo area (Last updated April 3 2012)


Important:

Train schedules are subject to abrupt changes.

Though we try hard to provide details on railroad operations, information here is not updated in real-time. Temporary (additional) service curtailments may be imposed due to power shortages and safety reasons. Fortunately they have not happened since April 2011; it seems the power supply has stabilized.

As of April 2012 almost all Tokyo area lines are operating on normal schedules. Standard timetables changed in March on most lines.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) cannot turn on nuclear reactors until the cause of the Fukushima Daiichi accident are fully understood and preventive measures implemented. The company is not likely to regain public confidence soon. Electricity demand rises during winter, but the rail operators got through the season without service curtailments. It is not clear what plans railroads have for the summer, but we can assume that they are better prepared by now.

JR East Rapid Airport Narita to Narita Airport

Updated: 5:35 July 29 2011 

 All Airport Narita runs are in operation.

Rapid Airport Narita is a commuter-type train. No extra fare unless you use the Green Car. It departs hourly from the Sobu Underground platforms of Tokyo Terminal. Follow the Narita Express (N'Ex) markers.

Important: Airport Narita does not come to Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and Shibuya. Departures from "Narita Express" platforms at these stations do not go toward the airport unless they are actually Narita Express . From Shinjuku it is easier to take the yellow train and transfer to Airport Narita at Kinshicho, a smaller station than Tokyo Terminal. If in a hurry take the orange train and transfer to the yellow train at Ochanomizu. From other stations take the Yamanote Line to Shinagawa or Tokyo.

Airport Narita runs along the navy blue line #2 on this map:
