If you'd rather keep your bags by your side, then the limousine bus is the best option, followed by taking NEX to Tokyo Station and a cab from there.

Thanks
joejones &
Sanosuke!
BTW, any comments on the "taking the Sobu Line to the Tokyo station + taxi" option?
Also, if the flight is scheduled to arrive at 16:30, what are one's chances of catching the 18:50 departure of the "Airport Limousine"?
