line to take an express train(signed in red) bound for Misaki-guchi. Get off
at Shioiri (3850 yen).

Limousine Bus departs the airport every 20 minutes, additional 10 minutes
(in average) waiting time should be considered. There is another type of Keihin
-kyuko express(signed in green) which does NOT stop at Shioiri.
Alt.3: Take JR line(Airport Narita) to Yokosuka (2520 yen). For JR line(Airport
Narita), it is recommended to take a Green Car(first class) for your
convenience with additional 1900 yen.

minutes (in average) waiting time should be considered.
