I am not sure what flight you just booked... Is your arrival at 10.30pm or 10.30am? I can't see a Delta flight at either of those times, so perhaps it's a code share or a flight that doesn't operate yet?

If it's a 10.30am arrival, you can either take a bus directly to NRT or go into central Tokyo for some sightseeing and then get a train to NRT. You might find a day in Tokyo more interesting than a day in Narita.

If it's a 10.30pm arrival, you really don't have much time to waste. I think you should be able to get a train to central Tokyo, then it's probbaly too much hassle to get to NRT, so you should stay somewhere like Ueno, (See below).

Go on. Give us a clue... which particular flight?

For a 9.50am departure next day, I suggest that you stay at one of the following locations:
(1) an airport hotel (10 minutes from the terminals by shuttle bus)
(2) a hotel in the town of Narita (10 minutes from the terminals by train)

It's also possible to stay somewhere near Ueno station - 40 minutes train ride from the airport, but I think the Narita options make sense if you want to relax in the lounge before your flight.
