train subway tokyo confusion?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could you either answer the following ? or redirect me?



We are going to Tokyo for about 10 days.

We are flying into & out of Narita.

We are staying in Shinjuku in Tokyo.



I am confused about transportation.



I would like your advice.



We would like the easiest, yet also cheapest, mode of transportation

for the whole trip.



Should we take the limo/bus to & from Narita

& then get the what (?) pass for tokyo tourist type transportation?



OR should we get a JR pass (here in the US ahead of time)

& then buy (again ? - what passes for subways - trains in Tokyo)

when we get there?



We would like to just try the bullet train - does it go to Hakone?

We do not want to stay over night - just try it.

What is the quickest/shortest place from Tokyo it goes?

& does that affect what type of transportation we get?



The place we are staying in Narita offers free transportation

to Tokyo Station. Should we use that & then just take

the subway to Shinjuku & a cab to our hotel there

OR is 1 pc. of luggage going to be to much to lug on that type of journey?



Thank you so much for reading this email & responding to it,
 
If you're going to spend 10 days all in Tokyo (a waste of precious time IMO), you will not need a JR Rail Pass.

Yes, take the limo bus to Tokyo.

Look on www.hyperdia.com for whether bullet train goes anywhere.
 
You can take a bullet train from Tokyo to Shin-Yokohama. THAT is a short trip. It would take longer to walk in and out of the two stations than the ride. You won't need a rail pass unless you intend to spend much of your time on the rails.
