Tokyo, Japan is ever-changing—not just in fashion, culture, food, and architecture, but even its streets and transportation networks evolve over time. The world of Japanese railways is a paradise for train enthusiasts, with various train models speeding along the tracks. Starting July 17 this year, there's a new way to travel between Narita Airport and Tokyo—the “Skyliner express train,” which takes just 36 minutes from Nippori Station to Terminal 2 of the airport, saving Tokyo-bound travelers precious time for shopping.

Japanese railway companies place great emphasis on marketing and presentation. In addition to unifying the overall exterior design of the new Skyliner express train, the interior space has been optimized by reducing unnecessary fittings and focusing on thoughtful, practical considerations to create a space with transparency and aesthetic appeal. The windows are larger than before, the number of lights has doubled, and indirect lighting creates a warm atmosphere inside the train. The luggage storage area has been widened to 1,500 mm, the pathway at the train doors has been expanded, and it is positioned within passengers’ sightlines, with security cameras also installed.
Riding the latest train models is also a favorite pastime among the Japanese. To reach central Tokyo faster, visit Keisei Electric Railway’s website at www.keisei.co.jp/index.htm to plan your happy journey.
