• Narita Sky Access Line: Inba Nihon Idai ⇄ Narita Airport Terminal 1

Narita Yukawa Station opened on 17 July 2010, coinciding with the inauguration of the Keisei Narita Sky Access Line, which extended airport access via a new high-speed alignment from Imba-Nihon-idai to Narita Airport. The station is the only Sky Access stop located on the Sky Access-exclusive section, and is owned by third-sector operator Narita Rapid Rail Access. It is elevated, with two side platforms flanking four tracks (two through-tracks for non-stop Skyliners). Roughly 500 metres east of the platforms, the tracks converge into a single track to Narita Airport via a No. 38 high-speed turnout — Japan's largest example — designed to accommodate the Skyliner's 160 km/h passage. Only Access Express services call here; Skyliners pass through at speed.

Narita Yukawa is the only non-Shinkansen station in Japan where trains regularly pass through at 160 km/h, the speed used by the Keisei Skyliner; doorway stickers in English, Chinese and Korean warn travellers that 'It is not Narita Airport'.
