Ticket

Keikyu Airport Line single ticket to Shinagawa (or tap a Suica / Pasmo IC card)

Where to buy: At the ticket machines in the Keikyu station directly beneath each terminal, or just tap any Suica, Pasmo or Welcome Suica IC card.

How to pay: Machines take cash and cards; IC cards tap in at the gate and out at Shinagawa, where the 327-yen fare is deducted. No seat reservation and no validation stamp needed.

Local's trick: Don't wait for a special or reserved train: any Keikyu Airport Line service — Airport Express, Rapid Limited Express or Limited Express — reaches Shinagawa for the same 330 yen with no surcharge. Tapping a Suica or Pasmo is easiest, and many trains through-run onto the Toei Asakusa subway to Nihombashi and Asakusa, saving you a transfer.

Trap to avoid: Skip the Airport Limousine Bus (around 1,000–1,400 yen to Tokyo Station or Shinjuku) and taxis (roughly 6,000–8,000 yen to central Tokyo) — both cost many times the 330-yen train and can crawl in road traffic.
