Not true. I've been to Tokyo and stayed in an airline operated hotel 10 miles from NRT. The cloest rail station is like 4 miles away and you can't get to downtown Tokyo without hailing for a Uber/Lyft or taxi to transfer to the rail station. (Hotel shuttle doesn't runs to rail station unfortunately. And forget about taxi-ing directly to downtown Tokyo due to the traffic congestion and exorbitant taxi fare.)

Narita isn't anywhere near Tokyo (it's an hour away by express train). It's like complaining about the NY subway in Newark.

The Airport is the Train Station so you catch the airport shuttle to there!

Also, Uber is a just a taxi hailing app in Tokyo... so what are you trying to say? They are $4/min, which is an outrageous $300 to Tokyo...
