Travelling through trains
(without Japan Rail Pass).
JR Line Map...

Once you arrive at Narita Airport, you maybe get
some tickets to your destination. From what i
experience, LOL, some Japanese ticketing officer
can speak basic English, YES BASIC ENGLISH :D

Tip: Try to tell the officer and showing the timetable
to him/her. E.g showing the timetable and trying to
say some station names in Japanese, "SHIN JUKU".
Though some officer there may have aleast know
basic English to assist tourist. But best if you can
speak Japanese.

Tip2: Trying getting both trips tickets,
going and returning. E.g am traveling to Osaka from
Tokyo at 01/09/2008. Save the hassle of
placing your reserved seats. (Far travelling places).

Try to book as much going and returning tickets,
trust me it saves time. Remember don't over do it
if there's alot of overseas tourist @ the counter, you
be asked to leave. :D
