=FROM NARITA ARRIVAL GATE TO TOKYO=

I am not an official person of any governmental or transportation companies, so the information written below is from my personal experience. Please allow me if the information is not accurate.

It will not be so difficult to communicate in English in the airport area. Most of the officials and the service assisstants are trained to speak English, although you may feel their English is not fluent.

And I think you will not find it difficult to get to the railroad platforms if you follow the signs. You can buy the tickets using vending machines. You will be arriving at either the Terminal One or the Terminal Two. If you arrive at the Terminal Two, do not use the trains signed "For Narita Airport" near the doors. Please use the trains signed "For Tokyo (or Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Yokohama, Yokosuka, Zushi, Kurihama)" if you use JR, or "For Ueno" if you use Keisei Lines. I recommend to use JR Narita Express (limited express with reserved seats) or Keisei Skyliner (limited express with reserved seats) if you go to Tokyo. Ask the airport terminal assisstants by telling them the name of the hotel you will stay, and they will be pleased to answer.

The best way to know the airport will be to access to: http://www.city.narita.chiba.jp/english/airport.html or http://www.narita-airport.or.jp/airport_e/index_e.html and check the building. (I recommend the latter.)

=TOKYO WHERE TO VISIT=

If you really don't know Japanese at all, the best way for sightseeing is to use the Hato-Bus tour. (http://www.hatobus.co.jp) The good point is that English-guided tours are held. The bad point is, you know, these tours will be a little bit expensive.

Or you will have access to the Tokyo Tower (you will see Tokyo from the top), Asakusa (old downtown, temples and shrines, and souvenir shops), Shinjuku (one of the Japan's biggest business centers), Hongo (the University of Tokyo, the highest-ranked university) or the Imperial Palace via subways... safe, confortable and cheap.

If you are interested in the traditional Japanese temples and shrines, it's good to visit Kamakura. (http://www.city.kamakura.kanagawa.jp/ ) It is a suburban city, and it will take one hour from Tokyo via Yokosuka-Line.
