· Japan Railway: Catch either the slightly slower, commuter Sobu Rapid Line or zippy Narita Express (NEX) from Narita Airport Station at Terminal 1 or 2. The Sobu makes stops along the line as it services the locals, but will eventually deliver you to Tokyo Station and Yokohama with all your luggage and sanity intact. For the fastest trip, the NEX train favors seat reservations and skips outlying stations to head straight into Tokyo Station, Shinagawa, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro.
Total cost: 1300 on the Sobu Line to 3000 on the NEX ($14 to $31) per person, each way
Total time: 85 minutes, 60 minutes

· Limosine Bus: We're not too sure why anyone would choose the limobus over all of the cheaper and just as fast train options, but competition and choice is always nice. Leaving from each Narita terminal, the limobus will fill its belly with luggage and its seats with passengers anxious to arrive at Tokyo Station, although other destinations can be picked by perusing the routes at the ground transportation kiosk in the terminals. You may think you're avoiding dragging your luggage through stations, but you're not.
Total cost: 3000 ($31) per person, each way
Total time: 75 minutes, depending on traffic

· Taxi or Town Car: This is the option we always try to steer people clear of; closing the door of your cab without understanding the distance between Narita and central Tokyo is a typical tourist mistake, for which they will dearly pay. This is an option for those on expense accounts or people who are simply too tired and cranky to care how much they spend before crashing at their hotel.
Total cost: 20,000 and up ($208)
Total time: 60-80 minutes, depending on traffic
