Train information and schedules
Narita Express
Most people traveling to Myoko start their journey at Japan's main international port, Narita International Airport, 60 kilometers east of Tokyo in Chiba Prefecture. From here, the easiest line for most travelers is the JR Narita Express—ideal both because tickets can be purchased for the entire trip to Myoko, and because those using JR rail passes can get them authorized at the JR stations in both main terminals of the airport and begin using them immediately. HyperDia
HyperDia, operated by Hitachi Systems, Ltd., is perhaps the easiest to use English-language transportation website in Japan. Simply fill in your departing and arrival stations, the time you want to leave or arrive, and it provides times, fees, often track numbers and links for helpful information such as area maps. JR East
The main railway serving Myoko (as well as the rest of East Japan), JR East's website can be a little tricky to navigate, but everything you need to know is there! Better for seeing an overview of train schedules through the day than route-searching sites like HyperDia.

Baggage and transport
Airport TA-Q-BIN
There's no reason to lug all of your heavy gear with you; send it from the airport direct to Enzan, with next day service (depending slightly on your arrival time). And when you leave, you can ship your gear back to the airport. Great, too, if you're traveling to another destination in Japan during your stay. The site contains rates, information, and locations at all major airports in Japan.
