Just fill in the form as you would for any entry. Length of stay is 1 day.
Lots of Narita City information here.

We fairly often do 6 - 7 hour transfers and have enough time to get into Narita City and stroll around. Be sure to have yen because Kansei does not accept credit cards. Trains run every 15 minutes normally.
