For purchasing train tickets, is it an easy thing to do? Will I be able to use a credit card?
For Narita Express and the Skyliner, yes you can pay with a card. For the local trains to Haneda no, you can't pay with a card. But you could probably install the suica app on your phone and use that for the tickets. But be aware that not all non-japan market phones support the right NFC frequencies for suica. Otherwise cash works easy, just buy the cheapest fare, and then go to the fare adjustment machine at the arrival station, and it will tell you how much to top up. This tip will not quite work for transit between yamanote and monorail. But if you take the subway plus keikyu to Haneda, works like a charm.
