Thinking either limo bus or train, how difficult are these options and are there any other options I don't know about?
I usually travel be car to/from NRT, but another good and much less expensive option if you have a manageable amount of luggage (i.e. a hand-carry and one rolling suitcase) is to take NEX to Tokyo Station transfer to Yamanote line one stop to Yurakucho and then walk (about 150 yards) from the Yurakucho Station from the Pen.
If you do your research you can get maps of the station which will show you which exits, how to transfer at Tokyo, etc.
Alternatively you can take a taxi from Tokyo station to the Pen.
