We bought tickets by Keisi Sky liner and headed towards Tokyo.
The Sky liner takes about 60 minutes.....and then we had another train which takes 22 minutes to reach the station which is near to the hotel.
TIP No.1
Its best to take the cheapest train although no reserved seats as time taken is not very different the only difference in time is when you take a bullet train paying about 3 times.Taxis are a big "NO NO" as they are frightfully expensive.....
Taxis/Limo will cost you about 450 US Dollars where as the train can cost you about 16USD a person...so I now leave it to you to choose!
We managed to actually find our way and walk to the hotel from the station and that was really good....so we saved the burden of taking a taxi....
TIP No.2
Stay at a hotel with less than 10 minutes walk to a subway.
After checking in we decided to go towards Tokyo Metro Station.We walked around the serene surroundings of the Imperial Palace Area.

You may watch the video...of some recording not taken by us below but gives a good overview of the area.
Then we headed to Roppongi. Its an upmarket place with a lot of modern buildings and happening night life.We went up the Roppongi Hills 52nd floor for a "CITY VIEW AT NIGHT"....
TIP No.3
Take a Day Pass for Metros from the airport. It works out really economical.
The city looked endless and on could just keep wondering how big the city was.
We finally headed home and actully realised we cannot take some of the subways day pass on a particular rail line and hence ended up changing 3 trains to go back to the hotel...Needless to say we were dead tired so fell asleep immediately.
Will use these tips if i go to Tokyo :) Looks like u had a great time!! Good for u.
