Narita Airport to Tokyo: Arrival to Train in Real Time

I always take KEISEI because it’s cheaper and it connects with the TOEI SHINJUKU Subway Line at Motoyawata, 56 minutes away / ¥780 (super cheap!)

Narita Airport, near Tokyo, is expected to extend its operating hours until midnight, starting in October.

The transport ministry and the airport's operator had asked nine neighboring municipalities to allow the extension for one of the two runways until 12 midnight, one hour longer than now.

The extension is aimed at receiving more visitors ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.

But two of the municipalities were opposed to the plan, saying it is difficult to win the support of residents who would suffer from the noise.

Tokyo’s Public Trash Can Problem | Garbage in Japan

Where are all the trash cans in Japan? I mean ... what do I do with my rubbish? Trash cans in Public started to disappear in 1995 after the Sarin Gas attack on the Hibiya Line. It was a public safety problem, but for some reason, the city was actually cleaner because people took their trash home to separate!
