For Those of Us Who Have Never Been, How to Get to the ICH Tokyo Bay from NRT?
I have probably transited through NRT probably 200 times in the past ten years, but have never actually entered Japan.
I have to overnight in a couple of months in order to catch the ANA flight to JFK. I was going to stay in Narita, but when I saw the deal on the Inter-Continental pop-up, I jumped on it.
Assuming, the rate continues to be honored, I will need to make my way from NRT to the hotel. For those of us who are clueless, can someone familiar with the routing explain in detail how to get to the hotel by train (which I understand is the best way to get there [since it is not British Rail and can actually be relied upon to get you somewhere]).
Thanks.

I believe the most convenient vs. cost-effective way to get to the IC Tokyo Bay from NRT would be to use the limosine bus:

Here is the specific schedule (NRT to IC Tokyo Bay):

I would say definately get the limo bus. Depending on traffic door to door it will probably take a similar amount of time as connecting trains and associated confusion. I took this bus in Nov to the Hilton. It was around 10.30 and the traffic didn't hold us up at all. The trains are great and easy to use once you get used to them but after a long flight there is nothing more welcome than a bus that takes you right to the hotel door.
Do not under any circumstances take a taxi (unless you want to pay more than the cost of your flight!!)

As the question has been answered, and there are other existing threads where this can be continued, I'm going to close this for housekeeping purposes.
