Terminal 3 (LCC) Arrival Guide

Key point: Terminal 3 has no train station. To catch a train (Skyliner, N'EX, or Keisei Access Express), you need to go to Terminal 2 first. It takes about 3–5 minutes by free shuttle bus.

Step-by-Step

1. ① Immigration & Customs
   Follow signs after landing. Foreign visitors join staffed counters; Japanese nationals use automated gates. After baggage claim, pass through customs (green lane if nothing to declare).
   Pre-register on Visit Japan Web to speed up immigration. Peak times can mean 30–60 min queues.
2. ② Handle essentials in the Arrivals Hall
   T3 Arrivals has a SIM card counter (IIJmio etc.), 7-Bank ATM, and currency exchange. Get connected and get cash before moving.
   T3 has fewer shops than T1/T2. For duty-free shopping, wait until you reach T2.
3. ③ Move to Terminal 2
   Two options:
   A) Free shuttle bus — 3–5 min, 24-hour service, departures every few minutes. Board on the 1st floor outside Arrivals.
   B) Pedestrian walkway — about 15 min on foot.
   With heavy luggage, take the bus.
4. ④ Board your train from "Airport Terminal 2" Station
   From T2 you can take:
   
   • Skyliner (Keisei) — fastest to Ueno/Nippori (~36 min), then transfer for other destinations
   • JR N'EX — direct to Tokyo, Shinjuku, Shibuya
   • Keisei Access Express — budget option, ~75 min to Ueno, no surcharge
   Buy tickets at machines in the station concourse.
5. ⑤ Or take a highway bus directly from T3
   Budget highway buses depart from the T3 1F bus stop — no T2 trip needed. Around ¥1,000–1,300 to central Tokyo. Allow extra time for traffic.
