Haven't been yet, but we are planning on going out there next year too.
From my understanding trains get you pretty much where you need to go. There's something called Hokuriku Arch Pass which is valid for 7 days.

how long will you be out there for? ____________________ Observation is the greatest source of wisdom. |

There is bugger all English anywhere on the transport maps or train timetables (or at least when I was there 15 odd years ago). The only concession is the place names are in western text as well as Japanese hieroglyphs. |

I think keisei line is easy and simple.
Changing at Aoto station.
Also cheap.
- - - -
Avoid skyliner.
Press orange button(access express) on the above page.
Take access express. If it's bound for Ueno, get off at Aoto and change, If it's bound for other destination, you can go to Osiage directly. But please make sure by asking station staff.
Time table may change in May so please be careful.
You can also take marine line(red in the map) to go to Aoto, but you need to get off and change there, and some trains are slow.
As Polerbear suggests, please avoid commuting time, it'll be nightmare. ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

Ah, the man in the know!
Yes I'm avoiding busy times, I've read they can be.... Busy
I can go from Ueno, that's not a problem, just getting from Narita to there is my worry, I also have to do it back 10 days later |

Was watching some youtube last night where a guy recommends hiring a car if at all possible, apparently if you hire from a site with English version you might be charged almost 2x as much as if you were able to go through Japanese version.
Although signs rarely have English satnav will tell you where to go so not as impossible as it first seems.

Before travelling anywhere, I check out stuff online:
https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk (https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g298184-i861-k10540278-Travelling_on_public_transport_in_Japan-Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html )
https://www.travellerspoint.com (usually have messages on the forum about specific travel destinations)
I did a quick check under google and found this too:

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 110 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
