Narita Airport Terminal 1 Station, Underground railway station at Terminal 1 of Narita International Airport, Japan
Narita Airport Terminal 1 Station is an underground railway station beneath Terminal 1 of Narita International Airport in Japan. It features separate platforms for JR East and Keisei Electric Railway trains serving different routes across the region.
The station opened in March 1991 and was originally part of plans for the never completed Narita Shinkansen project. It was designed from the start to provide fast connections between the airport and the capital.
The station carries the code KS42 and belongs to a selected group of one hundred important stations across the Kantō region. This designation reflects its role as a key connection point for travelers moving between the airport and destinations throughout the Tokyo metropolitan area.
The station lies directly beneath the terminal and is accessible by elevators and escalators. Travelers changing between lines should allow extra time because the platforms sit on different levels.
The station was originally designed for high-speed trains that never ran, which is why some platforms are wider than necessary for regular trains. This extra capacity makes transfers more comfortable today, especially when carrying large luggage.
