Which to choose?

Choosing the right option can be difficult. The trains are great during peak hours as the rods become very congested. However transferring from an Airport train to a commuter train can be a nightmare with luggage. The bus service is great, and they check your luggage for you so no hauling it on and off trains.
Here's our advice:

CHEAPEST OPTION:
Take the Keisei Limited Express for 1,000yen into Nippori and transfer to the JR Yamanote Line. You can get most places in Tokyo easily from here.

STRESS FREE OPTION:
Take a bus. Sit back and relax after your long flight. Choose the destination nearest to your hotel and then catch a taxi.

JR RAIL PASS OPTION:
If you have a rail pass and have an extra day or two, then validate it at the airport and use the Narita Express. This is also the option for those not staying in Tokyo. If you are heading west to Nagoya, Hakone etc, then transfer at Shinagawa. The transfer at Tokyo station is a long walk as the Narita Express arrives at the underground platform, while the Shinkansen bullet trains leave from the main area above ground.
