Travel Information

From Narita Airport to Tokyo Station, then to Sendai Station From Sendai Station to Hotel From Hotel to Tohoku University Multimedia Education and Research Complex

From Narita Airport to Tokyo Station, then to Sendai Station


At Narita Airport, take a JR (Japan Railway) train to Tokyo. The station is right at the airport. Follow the direction for JR. At the JR ticket counter, buy a ticket and reserve a seat(smoking or non-smoking) for the N'EX(Narita Express) to Tokyo. It takes about 1 hour, and costs roughly 3000 yen to Tokyo. N'EX leaves nearly every hour. You can use a major credit card like MC, VISA.

Warning : on your way back to Narita airport, there are two stops in the airport; terminal 1 and 2. You need to know which terminal is yours.


At JR Tokyo station, you take a bullet train to Sendai. It's called Tohoku Shin-kansen. It takes about 2 hours to Sendai(Some bullet trains make more stops than others), and cost about 10000 yen. You can buy a ticket and make a seat reservation(not necessary, but it costs only extra 500 yen) in Tokyo Station. But it is most advisable to do it at Narita Airport JR ticket counter at the same time as a ticket for N'EX. Then they probably give you tickets of good connection for N'EX and Tohoku Shin-kansen. It is necessary about 20 minutes to exchange trains at Tokyo stations. (and it takes more if you buy tickets there).

Warning : there is more than one Shinkan-sen line leaving Tokyo station to different destinations. (For example there is Tokaido Shinkan-sen, which is for Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka). Please make sure you are taking Tohoku Shinkan-sen. (Just ask. You may show your ticket at the entrance).

Likely conversations at JR counter

you : Sendai.

JR man : Narita Express ?

you : yes.

JR man : Nan nin desuka ?(=how many ?)

you : 1(or 2 or 3... if you are with children less than 12 yrs old, say so. They charge half on kids)

JR man : smoking or non-smoking ?

you : (non-)smoking.

Then you give your credit card or Yen. They don't accept US$.
