Transport guide from Narita Airport

Use the Keisei Line limited express bound for Ueno (departs three times per hour from the airport) and get off at Keisei Narita Station; exit the station and walk about 5 minutes to JR Narita Station; take a JR express or a local train to Chiba Station. At Chiba Station, change to the Sotobo Line local train and go to Katsuura Station. The Training Center is located at the top of a hill and is about 15 minutes walk from Katsuura Station.

Please, note that there is also a JR Sobu Line express train that leaves once an hour from Narita Airport. If you use this train, you do not have to change at Narita Station and you can go directly to Chiba Station. This train will take about 30 minutes to arrive at Chiba Station.
