I took the limousine bus. I found it quicker than taking a taxi/metro to the train station first since it picks up from the hotel itself. Sure we made 4 stops within a few blocks to pick up other people, but even with that in mind (and I knew that we'd stop in advance) it was still quicker and easier than getting to the train station.

Skyliner is the most ideal in most cases.

Most cases being if you're staying near the train station it drops you at in Tokyo.

My only issue with the Limousine is the timing. It doesn't work well for me especially if Ill only have close to 24 hours there.

Looking at Google Maps though it does seem like an easy ride on the train that clocks in similarly then the Limousine at a third of the cost.

I took the NEX (narita express). If you plan on getting the JR pass then you can use it for the NEX without an additional charge.

And there is no traffic when taking a train.

Keisei Line to Chabad was easy, cheap, and quick.

I believe that's the Skyaccess?

Don't recall, was whatever Google said was the fastest/cheapest.

Ha! Now Id like for Chabad to become part of UberEats there and we have ourselves a fun evening!

It all depends on where you're trying to go, how fast you want to get there, and how much luggage you have.

The best part of the limo bus is that they load up your bags and drop you right at your hotel. The downside is you could be stuck in traffic.

If you're trying to go straight to Chabad, the train will be easier and Sky Access sounds right.

With a little bit of notice, you can probably arrange delivery with Chabad. It's no uber eats, but still a time savings.

They claim that Cherry Blossom season in Tokyo is over by the 2nd week of April.
I can connect via NRT/HND at the end of the 2nd or beginning of the 3rd week. Anyone been there right after the claimed "end of season"? Is it worth the stop or is it really over? Its an awfully short season btw.

i'd like to know more about the cherry blossom season, also considering the 3rd week.
