Mobile Phones - Please note that, in most cases, non-Japanese mobile phone will not work in Japan, because the country uses a different system to the rest of the world. If you want to have a mobile phone in Japan, we suggest that you to rent one at the airport upon arrival. You will find a mobile phone rental counter as you exit customs.

Travel by Bus to Tokyo Hotels

There is a Limousine Bus to the Shinjuku Hilton, which is only 5 minutes walk from the Nishitetsu Inn Shinjyuku.

You will see a bus ticket counter as soon as you go through the customs at the airport. There, you need to buy a ticket to go to "Shinjuku Hilton Tokyo."The bus schedule from the airport can be seen here. We recommend you print this web site, so you can simply show it to the ticket counter.

The cost is 3,000 Yen, and it will take about 100 min to "Shinjuku Hilton Tokyo." You will get off in front of the Hilton Hote and walk about 5 minutes from there to your hotel, as indicated on the map below.

Travel by Train to Tokyo Hotels

From Narita Airport to Shinjuku Station:

Either Narita airport station Terminal 1 or airport Terminal 2, get the JR Narita Express or the JR Rapid Service train bound for Omiya and get down at Shinjuku Station.

It leaves every 30 minutes, and it takes about 80 minutes to Shinjuku Station from Narita Airport. It cost 3,110 yen, and you need to buy the ticket at the counter in the Narita airport.

As soon as you get to Shinjuku Station (World's busiest station. 3.2 million passengers a day), you go to "West Ticket Gate" and get out of the station.

From Shinjuku Station to the Nishitetsu Inn Shinjyuku Hotel:

From Shinjuku Station, go to the subway line and look up for the Marunouchi Line (Red Line).

Shinjuku is M08 (that means M for Marunoichi and 08 is the number of Shinjuku Station on this line). Board the subway bound for Ogikubo or Honancho, and get off at M07 (Nishi-Shinjuku, which is just one stop after Shinjuku station).

Once you get down at Nishi-Shinjuku, walk to exit number 1, and the hotel will be just about 2 minutes walk from there.

From Shinjuku Station to the Tokyu Stay Shibuya Shin Minamiguchi Hotel:

Once you arrive to Shinjuku Station, look for the Jr Saikyou line (埼京線) bound for Shibuya (platform 1~4).

As you can see on the map on the left, this is a circular line, so be careful not to get on the train heading on the opposite direction because you will spend a long time on the train.

Once you get to Shibuya, look for the New South Exit, 1 minute walk and you will find the hotel Shibuya Shin Minamiguchi.
