Cherry Blossom Season Tokyo 5-Day Itinerary p3: Transportation and Costs

This year marks my first trip to Japan during cherry blossom season. I've always wanted to travel during this time, but the airfare has always been ridiculously expensive. This time, I managed to find a cheap last-minute ticket. Round-trip tickets from Taipei to Tokyo on Scoot Airlines during cherry blossom season cost only TWD 8,900. If you find tickets under TWD 10,000 for this season, don't hesitate—grab them immediately! Within a month, I booked my flight, reserved accommodations, confirmed insurance, and even completed my itinerary planning. I feel so accomplished! 👍🏻

🌟 Travel Goal: Cherry blossom viewing and nighttime sakura 🌸
🌟 Departure Date: Tuesday, March 25, 2025
🌟 Return Date: Saturday, March 29, 2025

🗓️ Itinerary:
(Any activities involving cherry blossom viewing are marked with a 🌸 icon!)

March 25, 2025 - Day 1:
1. Scoot Airlines flight departing Taipei/Taoyuan Airport at 6:40 AM
Arriving at Tokyo Narita Airport at 10:50 AM
💰 Airfare: TWD 8,900
2. After exiting Narita Airport at 11:20 AM, follow the signs towards the Skyliner.
The Skyliner tickets were purchased online beforehand. After buying, you'll receive a voucher that can be exchanged for tickets at either a self-service machine or a staffed counter—super convenient! Plus, the price is more favorable than buying on-site.
💞 Recommended Reason: Compared to other transportation options, the Skyliner is the fastest way to reach central Tokyo (especially Ueno). It often offers bundled deals with Tokyo Metro 3-Day Passes, though its price is slightly higher than other modes of transport.

🌸 This post introduces the transportation and costs for the first day of my cherry blossom season trip. Stay tuned for recommendations and expenses for other activities in the upcoming posts!
