Get off the Skyliner or the limited express at (Keisei-)Funabashi.




Go downstairs via the escalator.




Clear the turnstile and turn to the left to head toward JR Funabashi Station.






Go straight on through the shopping complex until you find a downward escalator to the ground level.




Take the escalator.




As soon as you leave the escalator, turn to the right and then turn to the left to purchase a JR portion ticket. If you have a suica, just head toward the entrance.
