Thank you so much for your warm support Kevin san and Dale san! I remembered you mentioned to the map at the platform so I added in this video. :) Thank you again.
It's cheaper. I often take it. Access express is preferable being only slightly more expensive and significantly faster... but if the next access express isn't available soon then it's not really saving you time anyway and you may as well just get on the slow one. You don't really get to choose on the arriving side. Going back to Narita I think it'd be more likely to get a seat on the slow train, but probably usually no problem for access express as well unless your departure time is bad. Last time I was aiming for access express but got to the station early enough I just took the first train, which arrived at Narita before the access express would have.
Of course. Each company will favor their own lines. =P But since you (usually) have to pay about ~100 more yen each time you change to a different company it's not necessarily a bad thing. It should also be noted that a lot of the area maps at stations (and elsewhere, which are usually even worse) don't actually put north as north... basically ever. The station exit maps should all have a compass rose somewhere to help out. The "elsewhere" maps might not even have that... so you just assume north is north and it's not. =P This is why having mobile data + map program is so important.
I like the explanation and information in your video because it provides options for those of us with special needs so I can know where to go with this special situation 😊 ありがとう
Wow, that is great content and information in 10 minutes ! If you plan a trip to Japan, and will visit other places (not only Tokyo), I can really recommend the Dormy Inn chain. They very often have a japanese bath (often both an indoor and an outdoor bath), and offer other "goodies". Like free ramen after 21h00 and a Dormy Inn branded "pyjama" that you can wear during your stay. Usually, japanese travellers wear suits or business clothes when going for breakfast. But at the Dormy Inn, most japanese travellers will wear the "pyjama". Also, its great value for money. When choosing the accommodation in Tokyo, for me the location is the most important factor. Tokyo is huge, personally, I always stay in Shinjuku, because its great for night fotography, and has so many choices for restaurants, bars, shops etc. What is really important, is to have a metro stop very close to your accommodation. Shinjuku station is quite intimidating as its the biggest station in the world, but its also very practical, as you can get pretty much to every place, from there (as so many lines pass here). There is also a big bus station in Shinjuku station, which is useful for going to Kawaguchiko (for Mount Fuji) or Takayama in the japanese alps for example.
Hi, Kenchan! Thanks for your very informative videos! Do you know if there is a direct (no transfer) train from Narita airport to JR Kinshicho? thanks!
@@tokyokenchan thank you? kenchan. I read somewhere that service between JR narita and JR kinshicho was suspended in June 2023. Thanks! Will take that when i go to Tokyo in Sep. thanks and more power!
@@vanessabonde I'm not sure what was the news about, but the direct one only runs only one per hour. It takes about 80 -90 minutes. Have a great trip to Tokyo. :)
I'm going to tokyo this september, and I heard that the suica/pasmo card is discontinued for tourist last month. Any update about this IC card that are available for me to get in Narita Airport? Appreciated for the info.
Can you still get a Toica card at Tokyo Station? I plan to visit roughly every 6 months so it would be really convenient not having to worry about Welcome Suica cards each time.

Thank you for watching Alan san!
けんごさん、ご無沙汰してます。UA-camから少し離れてたのですが、このチャンネルが「懐かしく」なって、けんごさんの声かな？笑
自分が帰国した時のように拝見させていただきましたし、この夏日本に向かう友人たちにもチャンネル、お勧めさせて頂きますね。少しですが動画編集の合間のコーヒーの足しにでもして下さい。頑張って下さい！
Hidekiさん！高額スーパーサンクス有難うございます。どうなさっているのかと私も時々思い出しておりましたが、お元気そうで何よりです。思い出していただき、とても嬉しいです。海外にご滞在でいらっしゃるのでしょうか。何杯もコーヒーをいただけそうで、大変有り難いです。また時々覗いていただき、メッセージいただけますと幸いです。本当に有難うございます。
けんごさん、申し訳ありませんでした！常連顔しないようにコメントもさせていただきます！
観光ガイド系動画もいいんですが、やはり旅行者の立場に立って何が一番知りたいかを網羅するこのチャンネル、貴重だと思います。頑張ってくださいね、応援しています。
I loved the convenience on buying Suica on iPhone.
Yes that is very convenient. :)
Nice summarized transportation guidance when traveling around Tokyo. Thanks!

Excellent video! You do a good job!
Thank you for watching and your message!
As Canadians we found it unusual that hotel room costs are per person and not automatically priced by room with a 2 person occupancy.
I somehow ended up on the local train from Narita and it took awhile. So be sure to get on the express!

@@redfish337 yeah that’s probably what happened. It did take a long time though
Your videos are very helpful. I'm looking into getting the Greater Tokyo Pass on my next trip so I can include Nikko and Kawagoe
Thank you so much for watching and super support! I really appreciate it. I wish you the best trip to Nikko and Kawagoe. :)
The map changes depending on where you are looking at it from? Oh boy 😅 Awesome vid Kengo san!

All the videos of Tokyo Kenchan are very detailed and helpful if you're going around Tokyo.. 👍😎

Hi, Kenchan! Thanks for your very informative videos! Do you know if there is a direct (no transfer) train from Narita airport to JR Kinshicho? thanks!
Yes, you can take Sobu line. This is non-reserved regular JR train.

Much for replying. Hope to run into you when I travel to tokyo ilater this year. Cheers!
have you used the 'mini tokyo 3D' app? amazingly cool
Thank you, Kengo-san for another informative video. On our first trip ever to Japan last November, your videos were sooo helpful.
Thank you Lilly san for using the emoji icon!!! I’ve never seen it being used so I’m very happy.😊
Boy you are busy man😊
Good morning from Sri Lanka

I didn't know you could buy Toica at Tokyo station. If that is still going on, I'm sure everyone rush to JR Central counter now. ^^
