Cheap flights from Brisbane (BNE) to Tokyo (NRT)

Brisbane to Tokyo is one of the more comfortable long-haul routes out of Queensland, with nonstop flights getting you from the river city straight into one of the world's most exciting capitals. Whether it's ramen alleys, temple visits, or a day trip out to Mt Fuji, Tokyo delivers on every front.

Where is the airport in Tokyo?

Narita International Airport (NRT) sits about 60km east of central Tokyo — further out than Haneda, so budget extra transfer time. Here's how to get into the city:

• Narita Express (N'EX): The fastest and most comfortable option, running direct to Tokyo, Shinjuku and Shibuya stations in around 60-90 minutes.
• Keisei Skyliner: A quicker, cheaper alternative into Ueno, taking about 40 minutes.
• Airport Limousine Bus: Direct to major hotels, no transfers needed, though travel time depends on traffic.
• Taxi: Available but pricey for the distance — expect upwards of ¥20,000 into central Tokyo.
