Tokyo 7D trip 2012/2/23 17:09
Hi, we have two adults and one child and we are going to tokyo for a trip of 7days in early Mar. We would like to bring our girl to visit Disneyland/disneysea and also Mount Fuji and maybe one more place if possible. We will be arriving at Narita Airpot around 5pm Japan time. What would be the best way to get out of the airpot to our hotel at Mercure Hotel at Ginza and what pass should I buy to move around Tokyo and also to Mount Fuji? Fakone?

Appreciate your advise.

thanks!

Depends on your definition of "best".

Cheap:
Take the Keisei limited express and Asakusa Subway Line via Aoto (some trains are direct) and get off at Higashi-Ginza Station from where the hotel is a 5 minute walk

Convenient:
Take the Narita Express train to Tokyo Station and then take a short taxi ride to the hotel.

and what pass should I buy to move around Tokyo and also to Mount Fuji? Fakone?

It depends where around Mount Fuji you want to go. If you just want to go to Hakone, I recommend the Hakone Free Pass:

If you also want to see the Fuji 5 Lake area, regular tickets or the Fuji Hakone Pass would be my recommendations for consideration:

Thank you. As we have very few days in Tokyo,May I ask beside Fuji Hakone, what's the place that we shouldn't be missed in Tokyo and should try to go? Is two days around Fuji Hakone areas enough?

May I also ask what's the passes that we should purchase to move around in Tokyo and from Tokyo to Fuji Hakone? We would like to visit Disneyland/Disneysea as well as some of the popular shopping areas and temples?

Thank you.

Yes, unless you want to see the region in great detail or prefer a very slow pace of travel, I think it is enough.

May I also ask what's the passes that we should purchase to move around in Tokyo and from Tokyo to Fuji Hakone?

I recommend to use a Suica prepaid card to get around Tokyo. And I already answered your question about access to Fuji Hakone in my previous post!
