Getting from Narita to downtown tokyo

I am arriving at 19.45 from Beijing. I understood that its best to get the airport limo bus from Narita to Tokyo however when i look at this web site it appears to me that i will miss the last bus to the Conrad Hotel.

http://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/tim...a/ginza_h.html

if so any suggestions for an alternative limo or should i get the train ?

Also on my return i will have i day of my JR Pass left, can i use it to go from tokyo to Narita?

Many thanks

Take the limo bus to TCAT instead, and taxi from there. It's not far.

If it is still valid, sure, you can take the Narita express.

When I was there a few years ago I got the airport express train to Shinjuku which is also a (Tokyo) subway station. If you take that back to the airport, you must book it the night before.

You can reserve your seat on the NEX from 30 days in advance anytime up to time of departure (or even on the train if there are seats available). With your JR Pass, you can make the reservation when you activate your pass, or you can wait...up to you.

Even if there are no reserved seats available, you are allowed to stand if need be in ordinary cars at the ends, so no worries about not being able to go without a seat reserved...if there are no seats, just ask for standing.
