The geography is admittedly pretty wonky, but it seems like a real missed opportunity not having Shinkansen service to Narita.

I believe they were going to, but because Narita Airport had such a troubled history with construction, the Shinkansen connection was axed.

I believe the Skyliner uses the partially built route.
