Airport and City Transfers questions for Japan

Is the JR Pass worth it for transfers?

Yes if taking multiple Shinkansen trips; a 7-day pass (¥29,650) pays off after 2-3 long-distance trips.

Which is better: Narita Express or limousine bus?

NEX is faster (60 min); bus (90 min) goes directly to hotels, good with heavy luggage.
