What's the fastest way to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo Dome?

Q. I need to get there within two hours about. Is that possible? What train from Narita do I have to take? What station do I get off to be at Tokyo Dome? I was wondering if the Tokyo Dome hotel is near the actual Dome itself. Is the hotel hard to find? I also wanted to ask if there's any service in which I can leave my bags and have it be kept safe (just temporarily)~like a locker service or something?

A. Take the Narita Express to Tokyo station. Transfer to the Chuo Sobu line, in the direction of Shinjuku. Get off at Suidobashi. When you purchase your Narita Express ticket, tell them that your destination is Suidobashi and they will include the local train fare. This will make things easier for you. The Tokyo Dome Hotel is about a 2 minute walk from the station.

There are Airport Limousine Buses that can drop you of at the Tokyo Dome Hotel, but these are not the quickest routes, since traffic can slow you down.

Tokyo Dome is surrounded by an amusement theme park, Tokyo Dome City. The hotel and dome are in the same general vicinity and you can walk to each in about 4 minutes. If you want to store your luggage at the hotel, the hotel can hold it for a few hours after you check out. The hotel can also arrange that your bags be sent to the airport ahead of you. Many people use that service, since it cuts down on the hassle of having to bring your luggage on the local trains. Usually, you send your bags to the airport the day before you depart. Then before checking into your flight, you claim you bags from the shipping counter. Then all you need is things for the next day.

Tokyo Station has services and lockers to hold you bags only for daytime hours. Keisei Ueno Skyliner station also has large coin lockers for holding luggage during the daytime.

Ueno Station has attended luggage service, but no lockers.

Shinjuku has lockers, but not large enough to hold luggage.

what is a regular room at the peninsula tokyo hotel like?
Q. I have visited to hotel site but i can't tell if the room pictures they have posted are suites or regular rooms. A little help please?

A. The peninsula Tokyo is a very high end class 5 star luxury hotel, so it's rooms, even their "regular" rooms look fancy compared to your regular tourist class hotels.

Staying in shape for track while visiting Japan?
Q. Track practices start during spring break the day I leave for Japan. I will stay all of spring break and a week more, meaning I will be missing two weeks of track practice. I run distance.
Ill be staying in a Tokyo hotel for a few days, and also a friends house somewhere in Nagano.
Where could I run? Do the hotels over there have tredmills?
Is it very unusual for someone to go running on the streets?

A. You could run there as you wish as long as you can.

Some hotels may have facility of gymnastic instrument including treadmills but not all of course and it would be charged but there are still many parks and riverside deck where have sort of jogger's tracks as same as USA and it is free.

If you stay in Shinjuku or Shibuya, try Yoyogi park or Shinjuku gyoen park for example, there are many joggers morning and evening. You may run the streets around the Palace, too.

Nobody cares if you do jogging in Tokyo streets, but I think it is not good for your health because the air is not so fine pure except early morning.

Nagano is several hundred miles away from Tokyo, like NYC and Philadelphia. You even can run to there if you want because Nagano should have much more cleaner air.

Police won't stop you to run unless you wear reasonable athlete attire on.
