  • Train Schedule to Matsumoto from Narita Airport
    Train Schedule to Matsumoto from Narita Airport There are two ways to reach Matsumoto from Narita Airport. One is a route by the Narita Express Line and Chuohsen East Line via Shinjuku station(First Choice). The other is a route via Tokyo station and Nagano station by Narita-Soubu Line from Airport to Tokyo, Nagano Shinkansen Line from Tokyo to Nagano and Shinonoi Line from Nagano to Matsumoto(Second Choice). In general, the first choice is recommendable, because one with big baggage has to transfer just once at Shinjuku station and a little less expensive than the Second Choice with twice of changing at Tokyo and Nagno. The Second Choice is useful when some trouble, like system breakdown, accident or bad weather, occurs to the First Choice and vice versa. First Choice to Matsumoto from Narita Airport 1) Narita-Soubu Line “Narita Express(NEX)” [ Narita Airport to Shinjuku ] Please go to the station at the basement of a Narita Airport Building and buy a ticket to Matsumoto JR station via Shinjuku at a reservation window of the station.

  • JR EAST GROUP CSR REPORT 2015 Society
    JR EAST GROUP CSR REPORT 2015 Society Relationship with Society Basic Approach to Collaborating with Communities The JR East Group’s very existence depends on the health of the east Japan area and of Japan as a whole. As a company responsible for a form of social infrastructure (i.e., railways), and as a member of the community, we work together with communities in order to take actions aimed at achieving their desired future. In addition, we actively implement community vitalization and tourism promotion measures that leverage the unique capabilities of our group, as well as pushing forward with the creation of appealing urban areas centering on train stations. With communities As a member of the local community, JR East has a strong interest in the community’s future and works for its improvement by enhancing the areas along our railway lines to establish a lineside brand that will be chosen by customers, through developments such as our“Station Renaissance” program. At Tokyo Station, on the Marunouchi side, the work to preserve and restore Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi station building was completed. On the Yaesu side, in addition to GranTokyo North Tower and South Tower and the GranRoof, a square was completed in front of the Yaesu Exit in fall 2014. These developments are called Tokyo Station City and form part of the concept of developing Tokyo Station into a complete city. Our goal is to create a station that will serve as a center that represents new cultures, while also serving as a spectacular gateway to Metropolitan Tokyo. We are promoting the Chuo Line Mall Project for utilization of the space under elevated railway tracks between Mitaka and Tachikawa Stations on the Chuo Line.
