Too bad NRT is so far from TYO.

Exactly. Daily commuting charges would make it more expensive than many Tokyo hotels, nevermind it being more than an hour each way. Great fare, though.

7 day JR pass is $345 USD, so for two equals $100/day. We were going to buy one anyway, so why not save $1400 on hotels(compared to our Marriott Courtyard)? Of course if we change our mind we are only out $127 anyway. We like people watching on the train, so that's a plus.

Great price for a stoppover. Shame breakfast is not included

The hotel does offer a shuttle to Tokyo station at $17 USD pp one way.

Unless you're planning day trips to West Japan (say, Kyoto) I wouldn't bother with a JR 7-day pass.

You can get to Tokyo for about 1,000 yen via bus. Reports are pretty positive:

Discount airport bus "Tokyo Shuttle" to operate from July 3, 2012

Another discount airport bus "The Access Narita" launched. Y1,000 year round

The local trains are also about 1,000.

Mix it up with the fastest possible route -- the Keisei Skyliner. (Not part of the JR network)

You can also get a JR East pass for five days (consecutive) or four days (flexible) is 20K yen. (about $240 at current exchange rates).

The JR East pass is also valid on high speed trains to places like Nagano and Aomori. (But not valid on trains to Kyoto etc.)

Thank you for the information. Our current plans do call for a day trip(s) to Kyoto and maybe others in W. Japan. We also might spend the night there as well.
