Tokyo in Japan is a globally famous big city. To put it bluntly, the traffic route to an airport is the worst. Especially the traffic to Narita Airport, i.e., the New Tokyo International Airport, is very inconvenient. Narita Airport has only two runways. And the airplane cannot depart and arrive for 24 hours.
In fact, Narita Airport had a plan to build a Shinkansen to the Airport. However, construction work was not started for the Narita Shinkansen.
Do you know Tokyo Disneyland? You have to use the JR Keiyo Line in order to go to Tokyo Disneyland from Tokyo Station. In fact, the Keiyo Line at Tokyo Station was due to be used as the station for the Shinkansen to Narita Airport.
Now, there are two railroads to Narita Airport. One is the JR Narita Express and the other is the Keisei Electric Railway sky liner. The new line of the Keisei sky liner will start business in 2010.
Now, the time required from Nippori Station to Narita Airport is 36 minutes. Therefore, IR manufactured new style cars.
This is the E259 series of the new style Narita Express trains.
Let's suppose that you go from Narita Airport to Shinjuku Station. The time required to Nippori Station on the Keisei Electric Railway sky liner is quick. However, the JR Narita Express users have the unnecessary change to the Yamanote Line.
The model of this E259 system is soon going to be put on the market from KATO.
