The best way to get to base is the bus. CNIC website has a link on the right, and you can sign up. People with orders get priority. Found in Terminal one, this is where you have to be at the appropriate time(s).
If there is not room on the bus for you, right next door are these helpful people. Going to Yokohama? A bus might be the easiest and most direct way to go. I have never used this service before, but it looks convenient.

JR stands for Japan Rail. If you're lucky, there's one train that goes all the way to Yokosuka (they run seldom, but we managed to get it with 2 year-old child in tow). It's the 'milk run,' but you don't have to change trains with luggage in a crowd. Be prepared to have your luggage staged to get off at Yokosuka. The stop time is shorter than you think.
There are escalators down to the station.
If you have so much luggage to need a cart, traveling by train may be an issue. There isn't storage for large bags. We sit on the back row of a reserved seating car, our luggage behind us. We can't recline, but we don't impose on the other passengers. Just beyond the DoD desk, you can use the Black Cat or other delivery services to get your bags to your hotel, for around $20 a bag. Personally, after a long journey, I pay the extra to have reserved seating, and just sit.
At the bottom of the escalators, the trains are to the left. Be aware there are 2 main train companies (stations) that serve Narita airport.
I can never figure these out. So, if you didn't buy your ticket upstairs, where they have a bit of English to help you, you can try the line below.
If you'll be traveling awhile in the Tokyo area of Japan, you can also buy your SUICA card here (it'll be 2000 Yen to start, you charge it up in machines later). It is a pre-paid card that you 'tap' (NOT INSERT!) when you enter and exit the wickets to the trains. It automatically deducts the correct amount. No need for those 'fare adjustment' machines, or over-paying for a ticket 'cause you didn't know! Tokyo area trains, metros, buses, vending machines and some cabs will accept them.
This is the true entrance (the lady is leaving). There's something about not getting on the last 4 cars of the JR trains, if you're going to Yokosuka on the JR Yokosuka line. Switching at Tokyo or Yokohama is probably what you'll end up doing. Good luck.

Your website is very helpful. Although not a dependent, I've had to visit Yokosuka a couple of times and been forced to learn the train lines. However it's been years since I've done this on my own (always had friends). Your blogs are really helpful.I'm looking at this Kanagawa Train Map image in jpeg format (did you upload this...I forgot where I got it) but I can't find which line to take from Tokyo or YOkohama. I can't find Yokohama either. I see the TOKYO exchange. Isn't red the line to YOkosuka? Help!
