10 hours in Narita ... Time to see city????

On my way home from Thailand, my flight arrives NRT @ 8:10 AM and departs at 6:30 pm. Is there time to see Tokyo for a few hours? How much does the train cost?

Any input would be much appreciated!

Check out the Flyer Talk Japan Forum for tons of information on what to do during Narita layovers.

Short answer, yes, you could spend a couple of hours in town. Train fares vary by which train you take. The Narita Express is 2940 - 3000 yen, the Keisei Skyliner is around 2000 yen depending on where you are going and the cheaper, slower options range down to around 1000 yen - all one-way.

If you can't make it to Tokyo, the city of Narita is sort of interesting. I had a 7 hour wait and spent a few hours there.

abmj-jr's advice is excellent and I'll move this to our Travel->Japan forum for further. Please note that post #2 of the forum's sticky thread has info and links for plans for layovers in NRT. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator, TravelBuzz.
