Day 1 · Saturday, October 3 · Tokyo
Land softly
Narita → hotel neighbourhood
Light · 2–4 km¥8,000–14,000 for two, excluding airport transferPlanning weather
Run of day
Keep the sequence
Arrive NRT
Immigration, baggage and customs; allow 75–120 minutes and do not book a timed evening activity.
Transfer to Tokyo
Choose Narita Express, Skyliner or limousine bus only after the hotel is selected.
Check in + reset
Save the hotel address in English and Japanese, charge devices and buy water.
Easy nearby dinner
Use the no-reservation option nearest the hotel; Shibuya is optional only if energy is genuinely good.
Worth your time
A calm first Tokyo streetscape · The hotel-to-station route
Quiet extra: The first neighbourhood konbini is the useful orientation stop—not a checklist attraction.
Best photo: A low-effort street scene near the hotel after blue hour—not a cross-city detour.
Crowd note: Arrival processing varies; avoid committing to Shibuya Sky or a restaurant deposit.
Food rhythm
Breakfast: Air Canada service; keep a familiar snack in the personal item.
Lunch: On board.
Coffee/dessert: Narita arrivals area after customs if needed.
Dinner: Neighbourhood ramen, soba or teishoku with a visible queue and clear ordering.
Late: Convenience-store fruit, yogurt or onigiri for the room.

Door to door sequence
- From NRT arrivals, follow live signs to the selected operator counter.
- Buy/load Suica in Apple Wallet or use an operator ticket; keep a physical-payment fallback.
- Platform: Confirm on station display and official app on travel day. Live signs override this app.
Taxi fallback: Official taxi rank only; airport taxis are comfortable but expensive. A fixed-fare/limousine-bus option may be better.
Return to hotel: No separate return: the hotel is the destination.
Rain plan
Use a direct airport bus or shortest rail-to-taxi combination.
We’re tired
Eat in the hotel or at the closest station building and sleep.
Romantic alternative
One quiet drink with a city view if the hotel has a bar—no reservation pressure.
Booking action
Reserve only what protects the day.
Flights are confirmed. Hotel and airport transfer depend on the final Tokyo property.
Etiquette + practical
Queue neatly, keep voices low on trains and do not block doors with luggage.
Restrooms and ATMs are easiest at NRT and major stations; use a 7-Bank ATM if needed.
