Took Delta for a direct flight for about 6 to 7 hours

First thing at the airport, is to activate our JR passes which includes unlimited Shinkansen (Bullet Train), S$380/person, subject to the currency rate on the day or purchasing. 

Take note that you must purchase your JR Pass from your origin country such as your local JTB (Japan Tourism Board) counters or other agents who sells them. And activation is to be done in Japan.

Our first hotel is located in Asakusa, we took the Narita Sky Access Line which cost us 1060yen.

It's time vs money, whereby you can get the direct line but it cost more. We got the cheaper and slightly longer journey (50mins to an hour). Click for more information on Narita Airport Transport.

Even if you feel lost, just approach the staff and they will direct you, however their command of English isn't very good so it would be good to know a few basic Japanese words.

Cushioned seats ftw!

Beware of the loud sound/impact from the metros (trains) that pass by each other.

And by the way, Japan has a lot of stairs and finding elevator can be difficult and is usually located quite a distance away from the train gantry. Imagine carrying your luggage up these stairs~

Vending machines are everywhere! You'll never go thirsty or hungry :D

After about 10mins walk, we have reached the Agora Place Asakusa cozy lobby.

This is an environmental friendly and affordable hotel, with additional items for sale or rent at an extra fee. The downside of the hotel is the really small room and bed, we can't even open our luggages in the room. 

Tips: Free WiFi
