NRT · START WITH THE GROUND LEG
Pair the terminal with its station before rushing toward Tokyo.
Narita is more than “the airport farther from central Tokyo.” T1 uses Narita Airport Station; T2 and T3 use Airport Terminal 2·3 Station; T3 adds another walking or shuttle leg. Match the flight, security side, train product and Tokyo hotel door one boundary at a time.

Open this guide →THREE TERMINALS · TWO STATION NAMES
Why T3 still uses a station named for T2·3.
The station name is not an error. The important part is not losing the T3-to-station leg outside the advertised train time.
Terminal 1
T1 has North and South Wing check-in areas. Its rail access is Narita Airport Station—not Airport Terminal 2·3 Station. Use today’s flight search to confirm the terminal and wing before arranging a meeting or return journey.
Keep T1 + wing + flight number together.Terminal 2
T2 is served by Airport Terminal 2·3 Station. International arrival is in the main building; departure gates can extend through connecting corridors and satellite areas. Floor, security side and gate remain separate clues.
Do not shorten the station name to “Narita Airport.”Terminal 3
T3 uses Airport Terminal 2·3 Station via an access corridor; the airport gives a representative walk of about ten minutes from the station. Public shuttle buses and some direct road services are separate alternatives. Count this first terminal leg before comparing city times.
Add the T3–station leg before comparing trains.Airport representative walk: about five minutes.
Airport representative walk: about five minutes.
Representative walk: about ten minutes; add baggage and waits.
