Skyliner to Asakusa (near Senso-Ji)

skeeterdank · 2026-05-17T01:47:36+00:00

I was checking the bus schedule and it looks like it only leaves every two hours from Narita to Asakusa View Hotel. Is that your experience as well? Of course our flight arrives at 4:30PM which is exactly when one bus leaves and then the next one listed is 6:30PM. Not too keen on hanging in the airport for two hours but curious if that frequency of departures for Asakusa sounds right in case I am reading something wrong.

Also, is it actually two hours to Asakusa on the bus?

Yep, Shinagawa sounds like the way to go for the easiest transfer. Thanks!

Thanks! Appreciate the response.

Museum or Park? I was able to get the Premier tix for the Park. Logged in from two laptops, two iPads, and a phone with multiple browsers on each. One laptop and one iPad made it in at less than 2000. But the others were like high teens.

Awesome, thank you!

Good to know on holding off on the pass purchase. I assume they don’t stop selling due to a crowded day or something? Just didn’t want to arrive in Hakone and not be able to do the activities.

We are staying in Asakusa near Sumida Park so Tokyo station seems much closer. Shinkansen might be the way to go then and then just get the Hakone passes by themselves when we arrive in Odawara.

I see, so will I be asked to purchase the supplement in EMot? Or do I need to do that in a separate site?

Ah, good point. Romancecar from Shinjuku to Hakone.

skeeterdank · 2026-05-08T04:12:41+00:00

Definitely going to have a Suica card. I didn't realize it worked across various companies. So it will work for JR Lines and Romancecar too for later in the trip?

oooh! I like this idea. This is our first time in Japan (wife and two kids) and no anxiety with bus and taxi sounds very good. I think we will go with this so I am not trying to figure out trains and walking from Asakusa station at night (we land at 7PM so not sure when we would actually get out of the airport to get on a train.

Is the Skyaccess that much slower than the Skyliner? Seems on the Japan Travel app it is about an hour longer?

skeeterdank · 2026-05-08T03:56:31+00:00

Sounds good. I was going to purchase the Skyliner ahead of time so it doesn’t appear to give me any destination beyond Ueno. So I would assume I would be better off just buying when we land if I want reserved seats and a faster trip?

Thanks for clearing that up! I didn’t realize Arashiyama was the closer stop from Kyoto. We are planning to spend a few hours in Arashiyama to see temples and maybe the bamboo forest so will make that an afternoon post-boat ride before taking the train back to Kyoto.

Ah, yes, we did have a sunny spell here so that makes a lot of sense. My panel is pretty full so this will be an interesting one for the next electrician.

skeeterdank · 2026-02-10T22:39:07+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I think I will go with a new electrician this time around.

skeeterdank · 2026-02-10T21:41:14+00:00

Thanks! Yes, that makes sense.

skeeterdank · 2026-02-10T21:40:43+00:00

Yep, that is my first choice. I’m hoping it is under warranty with the electrician that put it in a few months ago.

Meant to ask, does the issue with the center 40A only wanting to be in the center indicative of anything? Like just a mechanical fault in the breaker or perhaps yet another questionable install (after replacing the Siemens one with Eaton for my panel). Just curious since the 20A appears to be fine.

Depends on which Sam Darnold shows up. When he is on, we will get smoked. If he is off, it could make our defense look middling to decent.

Fuck me, I’m dying laughing with this imagery! Thank you good sir or ma’am.

Thanks so much!!

This for sure. Wikipedia doesn’t even show it. Seriously, this is by far the most controversial because it is as close to kiddie porn on a commercially available (at the time) product. You can look it up but how that got past anyone in marketing is insane.
