Expect varying traffic patterns, particularly during rush hours when highways can become congested. The drive is about an hour under ideal conditions, but it can stretch longer if there’s gridlock. The scenery on the route includes glimpses of the lush Chiba countryside and urban Tokyo on approach, giving you a taste of both worlds.

Pre-booking a private transfer from Narita ensures you dodge the often chaotic taxi lines and crowded buses.
