access to Tokyo city options and Narita Airport hotels.
Almost all international services fly into Narita Airport (NRT),
inconveniently located nearly 70 kilometres northeast of
Tokyo in the city of
Narita. The
airport has two terminals, Terminal 1 for major foreign airlines (e.g.
United, British Airways) and Terminal 2 for Japanese airlines and
smaller foreign airlines. Each terminal has its own train station, and
there is a free shuttle bus between them.

Narita Airport Arrival
If you have good bags with wheels and you are not travelling in
peak hours, taking your bags on the train into
Tokyo city is ok, but a
bit of a challenge.
Lugging
even a moderately sized suitcase through the subways and up and down
stairs can be a nightmare. So, what can you do? Use the ubiquitous
delivery services (takkyuubin) which give cheap, dependable, fast
service to anywhere.
How does it work? At any airport or major station, look for a sign
that says "Baggage Delivery" or something similar. The most common
company is called Kuroneko. Their black-on-yellow logo of a mother cat
carrying a baby cat is easy to spot anywhere. Write your hotel
address, pay a small fee based on size and distance, and simply
collect your bag the next day at your hotel.
This works the same way on
departure. Most hotels and even many convenience stores will take care
of this for you. The service is extremely dependable. You can send
almost any shape or size of bags (even a bicycle) to the airport ahead
of time. They are never late and always in good condition. Just pick
up your stuff in the airport lobby. It sure makes getting to the
airport a breeze. It even makes intercity travel easy if you have a
lot of stuff.
