Exited at 11:08 and took the 11:14 NEX. Even though NRT was desolate, somehow there was a line at JR, so I had to use the machine and not get Suica/NEX.

BTW, does JR have demand based pricing or something? Today it was 3310. Last time 2910. Sometimes 3110. Why does the price vary?

Also, is there actually a JR counter on level 1? I imagine that the queues would be even worse there than in the basement but maybe not today when the hall was empty.

There is a JR counter right where you come out of customs. If you have Suica card you can just tap that and pay the difference in cash on the train or if no Suica, just tell the gate attendant you're going to buy on the train. They'll let you through and you can buy the ticket from the conductor on the train.

Excellent time BTW!
