Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 Station is shared between East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Keisei Electric Railway. There is a common concourse on level B1F of the main Terminal 2 building and then platforms below, using double track originally intended for the Narita Shinkansen.

There is a security checkpoint between the station exit and the terminal building where identification (such as a passport) must be shown and baggage may be inspected. The security checkpoint is only connected to the Keisei side of the station, so JR passengers disembarking at this station go through two ticket gates: one between the JR and Keisei stations, and one exiting the Keisei station. A future renovation of the station is planned to streamline the exit process for JR passengers.

JR East

JR East uses the eastern platform, which is to the side of a single track used for both inbound and outbound trains.

Keisei uses the western platform, a single island platform divided in half crosswise by a metal fence to form four numbered tracks. Tracks 1 and 2, on the southern half of the platform, are used for Narita Sky Access trains including the Skyliner limited express service. Tracks 3 and 4, on the northern half of the platform, are used for Keisei Main Line trains. Passengers to the Main Line pass through two entry gates to record their use of the Main Line (which has a lower fare than the Hokusō Line). Passengers to the airport pass through separate exit gates to enforce the fare structure in that direction.[2]

Platform 3, used for Keisei Main Line trains bound for Tokyo, is only long enough to accommodate six cars; therefore two cars of each eight-car Keisei Main Line trainset open onto Track 1, the Tokyo-bound Narita Sky Access Line platform. Keisei has installed special signage in this section of Track 1 to warn passengers not to board these cars.

History

edit

Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 Station opened on 3 December 1992, shortly prior to the opening of Terminal 2 itself. The second track for Keisei trains opened on 14 November 2009, as part of the construction project for the Narita Sky Access Line. Skyliner limited express services began operations on the Sky Access Line on 17 July 2010. The station also received a station number for Keisei services on that date; Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 Station was assigned station number KS41.[3][4]
