Access Information

updated Apr. 27

The Makuhari Messe (Chiba City) is located on the half way between the New Tokyo International Airport (Narita) and Tokyo, and 30km away from Narita Airport. All express trains for Tokyo district pass Kaihin-Makuhari sta. without stopping. It is quite difficult to get a train to Makuhari district from Narita airport for people from foreign countries.

We recommend you get a airport bus from Narita Airport to Makuhari if you are not good at Japanese.
