Journey into Edo
The flight to Narita was bumpy due to Typhoon Seniang which hits the Philippines. The arrival was delayed by about ten minutes. After spending some time at Terminal One for the rest of the family to change into warmer clothing, we made our way to the Keisei terminal at the basement.
After overcoming the initial confusion on the use of the automatic ticketing machine, we purchase tickets for the Limited Express to Nippori, the transfer junction for our onwards journey to Ikebukuro.
As we wanted to avoid the morning rush hour in the city, we took the 0905H Keisei train out from Terminal One. The journey to Nippori took about 70 minutes and the train was not packed with passenger to our surprise. We have expected to see more passengers taking the train into the city.
Upon arrival at Nippori, I was again held up as I have to figure out how to transfer to the JR Yamanote line. I discovered that there is a need to exchange the Keisei ticket at the ticketing machine to a JR ticket. This is done by paying a transfer fee. In our case, it was 160 yen for the transfer to Ikebukuro. Child ticket is at 50% discount.
