Arriving late at NRT
Hi all.
My NH 1009 flight arrives at 9pm. Even the Airport Limousine has stopped running at this hour. What are my options for getting to central Tokyo?

Keisei bus company, jointly operated with two other bus companies, operate a direct bus to downtown Tokyo, Tokyo station for 1000 yen and operates through last departures at 11:15pm. No problem getting to Tokyo. Once in Tokyo, it might be difficult to find transit to your final destination however.
Keisei train has express and limited express trains to ueno through 1034pm departure.
JR operates express train to various areas of Tokyo up until 10:15pm, and also operates local trains departing narita at 11:00pm with connection to Tokyo in Chiba connecting to another rapid train arriving to Tokyo at 12:29am
So there are a few options still beyond 9pm.

Private transportation with MK Taxi or another private car transfer service.
Will run US $200-275.
Can include meet and greet, wi-fi and a higher end automobile vs a traditional Tokyo cab.

I flew this in March and too was worried about making the last JR Express train to Tokyo Station but even with a little delay arriving at NRT I went through passport control, got my bags and got the last NEX train with about 8 minutes to spare.

Thanks everyone! It looks like I won't have to check any bags and I will just try to get to the last N'Ex. Failing that, I will try to get on the Keisei and take the subway to Toranomon. My destination is the Andaz Hotel.
I don't want to stay the night in Narita unnecessarily, and don't want to pony up $2,700 for a copter, but it sounds like the rail options will work for me!

Never stayed at Andaz before. But if you're trying to get to Toranomon, then the best train option from NRT may be via Skyliner anyways since it only requires one transfer. Take Skyliner to Keisei Ueno, then it's a quick transfer to Ginza line's Ueno station. There is a bit of stairs involved, but you say you only have carry-ons. It's only a few minutes to go from Keisei Ueno to Ginza line.

Where did you get this bad info? The last limo bus to TCAT departs at 23:00. This issue has been discussed before. ANA will provide cabs if necessary or they will provide buses beyond 23:00 in case of a delay.
