Japan Railways take you from Narita to the various hubs in Tokyo. To get to the northeasters Ueno station the best option would be the Keisei Skyliner which operated frequently. For direct transport to hotels via bus one may even try the Airport Limousine Company. The town itself is served by an efficient and punctual network of private and municipal trains and subways.
