By helicopter in Narita
If you're really in a hurry (depending on your definition of the term), Narita Heli Express will whisk you to or from Tokyo Heliport (in Shin-Kiba). The regular fare is �260,000 per flight, which means that a solo passenger would spend the cost of one night's stay at the average Tokyo hotel every minute during the 20 minute ride. But if you share the ride with four other willing companions (the helicopter seats up to five), it splits down to �52000 per passenger.
When making a journey-time comparison with other transport methods, one should take account of the time required to travel between one's point of origin and the heliport in Shin-Kiba and the time taken for travel between the helipad at Narita airport and the relevant terminal building. For a journey from the Tokyo station area to Narita Terminal 2, the time difference may be 20 minutes or less.
IF this tickles your interest, keep in mind that the helicopter also has service to Kawajima, Saitama prefecture in 30 minutes (�235,000 per flight) and Maebashi, Gunma prefecture in 40 minutes (�355,000).
Another helicopter service, Mori Building City Air Service, or MCAS , offers chauffeured helicopter services for �280,000 per flight each way. This includes a 15-minute trip by limousine from Narita Airport to the Sakura Heliport, followed by a 15-minute helicopter ride to the Ark Hills Heliport in Akasaka, and finally, a trip by limousine to any destination in Chiyoda, Chuo, Minato and Shibuya wards. A limousine trip to any other Tokyo ward outside of this zone incurs an additional surcharge. With five in the same party the trip costs �56000 per passenger.
