JR Pass collection in Narita airport

My flight is scheduled to land in Narita Airport at 21:30 and presuming it takes 1 hour to walk, pick up luggage, custom check, passport check. Is it possible to get a JR pass when exhanging the exchange voucher and showing Passport, at about 22:30? I havent bought the JR Pass yet but if i do, I want to use it straight away and go to Kunitachi by train or Narita express. The office in Narita airport closes at 21:45. Is there other ways of obtaining the JR Pass??

The ticket office closes at 21:45. So, you won't be able to make it in time. You will also miss the last Narita Express of the day, so you will have to take a different train or bus. And note that it takes about 2.5 hours from the airport to Kunitachi.
So, I strongly recommend to spend your first night at a hotel near the airport.

If thats the case, how would i find whats the cheapest hotel around that area? Assuming that I cant take Narita Express around that time as I missed it. I might try and get to Kunitachi that night though and I think I would arrive at around 1ish and the place im staying is around 5 minutes away from the station.

Check your options on Hyperdia: looks mighty complicated to me, late at night after a long flight and in a new country.....I'd also advise staying at one of the nearby airport hotels...try one of the many hotel websites on this forum for your hotel options

late landing

This is a late landing time and you have to expect at least 30 to 45 minutes to go through immigration, luggage pick up and custom. That should leave just enough time to catch a last train to Tokyo; but you would probably have to forget about exchanging your Japan Railpass voucher. Japan Railway staff is very helpful in most situations but that would be stretching it to the limit. You also have the possibility to catch a Limousine bus to Tokyo
