- '''(Japanese) : '''
- Print it out and present to the driver.
- ''Pronounciation: [ Destination ] ma-de onegai shimasu.''
- (Take me to the Yokohama Grand Intercontinental Hotel)
- Train service
- Train services in Japan are safe and punctual. To our regret we had a serious accident recently in Osaka area, however we do believe you may feel the journey on train at ease.
- Bus services may delay due to the famous traffic jam in Tokyo area, however for the bus services between Narita and Yokohama, the drivers try to escape from the crowded route, so that the delay may be within 20 minutes.
- How to buy train ticket from the automatic ticketing machine.
### Ensure the price (you may find the map with tarif in Englist at each station)
### Prepare 1000Yen note, 500Yen coin, 100Yen coin, 50Yen coin or 10Yen coin. Except those note or coins, the machine does not accept.
### Insert the coins or note and press the touch pannel which shows your tariff amount.
### Changes are given.
- Pre-paid cards are also available but please be noted that the card for JR line and the other lines (mostly private railway line or municipal line) are different. (In 2006, it is scheduled to be consolidated. The card for private or municipal lines are already consolidated which is named ''pass-net'').
