It varies a bit and might be available only to foreigners, but if you purchase a RT ticket at NRT for the Limosine Bus, there's usually an offer for a free several day pass ticket for the the Tokyo JR subways (not including the private lines) that you can activate within six months. Look for the sign (in English) about this at the counter and point to it when you purchase your ticket. Then be sure to make a reservation with your hotel for the return trip to the airport. At most stops, seating priority goes to hotel guests, but you usually must make the reservation a day before.
