Matsudo also serves as the terminating point on the Shin-Keisei Line, which runs to Tsudanuma (45 minutes, ¥250). If going to Matsudo from Narita Airport, take a Keisei Line Limited Express train and change at Tsudanuma for the Shin-Keisei Line (Approx. 1 1/2 hours, ¥910).

[edit] Budget

• J&F House DK Matsudo is the biggest guesthouse in Japan, having over 160 rooms. The room you get is very small and the toilets are shared by the whole floor (there are 4 floors, but no one lives on the bottom one) and you have to live there for at least 1 week (it being a guesthouse, not a hotel). However, the rent is relatively cheap (¥56500 a month). If you want a spot, you have to contact them before comming since it is a popular place of staying.
