If your hotel is in Narita city (NOT at or near NRT,) you could easily get in a quick visit to the temple. Just get out early and get back to the hotel in time to check out, get your bags and grab the train back to NRT by 9:30-10:00 am or so.

If you decide to see Senso-ji instead, I'd suggest a hotel in either Ueno or Asakusa. In that case, you should just train directly back to NRT and skip Narita-san.

JAL put me in the Narita Excel Tokyu, which doesn't look near... anything. There seems to be a bus walking distance, but in the middle of a layover my first time in Japan, I'd probably cab it.
