The only one I'm aware of is that run by Shizutetsu Express. It's a daily service between all the Narita terminals and the front of Shizuoka Station. There's only one a day, departing 16:10 (T2) and arriving Shizuoka Station 20:47. It appears to be scheduled seasonally. The current season runs until March 31 so you'd have to check the website again as you get closer to April to see if / when it is running. Cost is 6,200 yen. By way of contrast, a shinkansen from Tokyo to Shizuoka will cost about the same but the journey time is only around 1.5 hrs. Give yourself around an hour to get from Narita to Tokyo station on the train. The Shizutetsu webpage is in Japanese but here's the address if you want to take a look http://www.justline.co.jp/express/transit/shizuoka_narita_timetable.html

How about a challenge?

Reading the daily blogs, product, and place reviews on City Cost makes my day. I love seeing what you find novel and enriching. But what do you think of a challenge week - one week of blogs on a particular interest or location that reveals our insights into our lives as foreign residents and "experts" on the things we nerd on? Some things I do: The periodic TtoE food blogs, regional posts in Chiba Prefecture Charms blogs, and fieldtrips in the Kanto region where I live. Got 5-7 day challenge ideas?

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
