To reach downtown Tokyo from Narita Airport, we recommend the bus service. Because the airport is well outside central Tokyo, taxis can be expensive (roughly 300 USD), and the Tokyo train and subway system can be confusing to newcomers.
The bus service is efficient, comfortable, and trustworthy. These buses are called "limosine" buses, but they are quite normal and affordable. Attendants are friendly and speak English well enough to service your needs. The bus fares from Narita to the Shibuya area near Aoyama Gakuin University run about 30 USD.

*Update: Hanada Airport is now providing international service to Tokyo. Haneda is closer to central Tokyo and thus more convenient. There is also comprehensive bus service from Haneda. We will post Haneda travel information as it comes in.

The buses bound for Shibuya are managed by the Airport Limosine Bus service. The signs to their ticket kiosks are broadly displayed in English and can be found across from the exit from Customs along the wall running alongside the general airport exit.
Buses depart every hour, or more, but prepare for a ride that usually takes about 90 minutes in Tokyo traffic.
Shibuya has two limosine bus terminals that are both a short walk from Aoyama Gakuin University: the Cerulean Tower Hotel terminal and the Shibuya Excel Hotel Terminal. Both are near one another, and for most visitors, the Cerulean Tower Hotel will be the best place to disembark.
Both terminals are near a number of fine and affordable hotels that are within walking distance or a short and inexpensive taxi ride from the university.
This is a map of the area immediately surrounding the university (click on the map to make it larger):
-Approx. 10 min. by foot from Shibuya Station.
-Approx. 5 min. by foot from Exit B1 of Omote Sando Station.
-The campus is located across the street from The United Nations University.
