Japan - train travel
Hi Fodorites. First time trip to Japan in Late Dec 12 early Jan 13. How easy is it to get from Narita Airport to Chiyoda district in Tokyo? Suggestions for Hotel accommodation in Kyoto mid priced and how about travel from Tokyo to Kyoto? All suggestions gratefully received.

If that is all of your travel you can buy tickets at the Narita JR train station. If you have to travel back to Tokyo from Kyoto then you may be able to take advantage of the 7-day JR pass explained in detail here in which case you would have to purchase offshore before your arrival in Japan:

You can get to your hotel either via the NEx

or the airport limo bus service:

or check here if you can use one of these package deals:

As the -ekimae suggests the hotel is near JR Akihabara station:

Keisei Skyliner and a JR local would do the job, for example:
