I took the train on my own. It was easy to get here but not as easy to get around unless one speak Japanese. Try to follow the crowd, that's one way to get to tourist attraction :)

I remember my first day, in Yokohama I get lost because there are so many different track of trains, and in one track many distination, it is too confusing for me.
.
I learned my lesson, so the second day everytime I went out from my hotel I go to tourist information center in Yokohama Station and list the details of trains I have to take to arrive to my distination.
.
JR trains, I remember they have English and Japanese written on top of exit door everytime the trains stop at least you know what station it is.
.
Narita Express train it is the best way go to Narita airport a little bit expensive but it is fast and you need reservation. JR East infoline (03) 3423-0111 (English, Korean, Chinese, French, German, Spanish and I think that this is only temporary because of the World Cup Game and they providing language services for tourist.)
.
Yamanote line it is more high tech trains because they announce the next station in English and Japanese language plus English and Japanese written on the exit doors it is excellent.
.
But for other trains going to Odawara Stations I remember they only announce in Japanese language so what I did I have to rely on the map everytime the trains stop and I look outside the window to double check the name of the trains station. Otherewise you miss your stop.
