we are staying in the roppongi area. what's the best mode of transport from NRT and around the city? i'm looking at Suica & N'EX option right now.
I like the Suica/NeX option because of the discounted NeX ride and the 1500 Yen Suica credit. When I'm puttering around Tokyo, I'm usually on the Metro using day passes. The Suica credit is useful for when I have to take a quick hop on the Yamanote or the Chuo lines. Also at 7-11!
Going back to NRT, I'm usually on the Keisei Tokkyu because it's half the price of the Skyliner and takes just 15 minutes longer, the Skyliner being 2/3 the cash price of the NeX.
