How do I reach secondary airports or ports?

Ride into the main city first, then swap to intercity rail or ferry operators. Booking apps like Trainline, JR East, or obilet list live seat counts.

What about luggage storage?

Use lockers at Newark stations or the airport itself if you need to bounce between hops.
