Getting Around

Narita International Airport (NRT) is the airport in Tokyo, where your international flight is most likely to arrive. Once in the city, the best mode of transportation is the train system. It is a very efficient system that connects most cities throughout Japan. Driving is not needed or encouraged within the major metropolitan areas, but when looking for a view of the countryside, you can find a car to rent at the airport.
