Btw, I have US$20 in credit from some sign-up promotions earlier. Can I use it in Japan?
Uber operates primarily in central Tokyo. Unless a driver carries a passenger to NRT and needs to pick up a passenger, or a driver turns on Uber while at NRT, I wouldn't count on finding a car randomly.

In your case would just as soon use a normal taxi; it should cost about 1,900-2,000 JPY.
