🚇 Home station: Asakusa
💳 Suica / PASMO recommended
New home base: Hotel Plus Hostel TOKYO ASAKUSA 1 is at 2-13-1 Kaminarimon, close to Asakusa Station and the historic district. The guide now starts trips from Asakusa; only the Studio Tour route uses Kuramae's Oedo Line when it is the simpler direct ride. Fares and platforms can change, so use an IC card and confirm the final train in a live map app before boarding.

Trains bound for Keisei-Ueno do not stop at Asakusa/Kuramae — double-check before boarding.

Transfer to the JR Keiyo Line at Tokyo Station
This is the tricky part — the Keiyo Line platforms are a genuine 10-minute walk from the Shinkansen/Yamanote side of Tokyo Station, down a long underground concourse nicknamed "Keiyo Street."

Evening trains back from Maihama can be very crowded right after fireworks/nighttime shows — consider leaving 15–20 min before the show fully ends if you want a seat.

For a 1:45 PM flight, leaving the hotel by 8:30 AM (as in your Day 7 plan) gives a comfortable buffer for the ride plus airport check-in and security — even with a delay or a slower train.
