    The Skyliner is very convenient for people staying around Ueno or Nippori. If you're staying near Asakusa, transferring from Ueno isn't too much trouble either.
    Just keep in mind that I had bought my ticket in Taiwan beforehand, thinking exchanging it on-site would save time. Apparently everyone had the same idea, because there was a long line at the exchange counter, while fewer people were buying tickets directly next to it. In the end, I waited almost half an hour before I could exchange my ticket and board. So even if you've purchased your ticket in advance, it's still a good idea to allow extra time after arriving at Narita, especially when several popular flights arrive around the same time, since the exchange counter can get crowded.
    Overall, the Skyliner itself is fast and comfortable, and I highly recommend it for travelers staying near Ueno or Nippori. Just be aware that buying your ticket in Taiwan in advance won't necessarily be faster on-site, and during busy periods, you should allow time to wait in line to exchange it.

    The seats were very comfortable, and the whole train is reserved seating, so you don’t have to drag your luggage around looking for a spot. It made the ride really easy and relaxing.

    This time I stayed near Nippori when visiting Japan, and I feel like the Skyliner is pretty much the top choice. It’s also very convenient for transferring after you get off.

    Since I was staying in Kuramae this time, going to Ueno was a bit inconvenient, so luckily this train stopped at Aoto, which made getting off there super easy!
    There are power outlets on the train, and it’s really fast too.
    It’s great for people who’ve just landed, but lining up at the ticket machine to pick up tickets at first was kind of soul-draining. There were so many people, and I was alone, needed to use the bathroom, and still had to wait in line... so annoying〜
    I heard there’s a more convenient facial recognition option, so you should look it up!

    The fastest way from Narita Airport to downtown Tokyo.
    I recommend getting the Skyliner round-trip ticket plus a 72-hour subway pass—it's all you need for getting around Tokyo!
