Actually, the train you are talking about is the Keisei Skyliner (not JR), which costs Y2000 each way and ends up at Ueno station, although it is also pretty easy to get to Asakusa by taking a slightly different train or getting off at a different stop, if the Asakusa area is where you are staying.
Edited to add: WELCOME to FT!
