im pondering a trip to shibuya but the cost to tokyo int are much greater then to narita, not to mention there are alot less direct flights! so if i arrive at shibuya, i take it theres train access right there on the spot? ive been looking at a few maps, and it looks like from the airport i go to the first station called oshiage, then a train leaves from there all the way to shibuya via the "tokyo den-en toshi" line?
this map seems easiest to read, but compared to nj transit it looks like a spider web after a storm!

i read the main post about rail that you have to get a rail pass before going to japan? i take it you cant just arrive at a station, state your destination and get tickets like here in the states? shibuya and back would be my only destinations, im on a budget and would only be going to make a delivery of sorts. what do train passes cost in US roughly? i know its about $20 round trip from my house to NYC so thats the only basis I have to go by!
would a taxi be cheaper? rough guestimate looks like about a 50 mile each way at least via taxi... ive never even taken a taxi here in jersey so i dont know what the cost is even roughly!
