There are cheap buses that run every 90 minutes, local trains to the 2 Narita city stations (and, of course, cabs as well). .
I took the airport shuttle to the ANA Crowne Plaza (if I'm remembering the hotel name correctly), checked a bag with the concierge and took a local shuttle bus from the hotel all the way to the temple. It was an awesome way to kill an otherwise wasted day. I'd highly recommend it. I can go back and look through my old expenses (when I'm back in the office) if you'd like me to provide a definitive hotel name.
