Cheapest practical answer
Train routes usually win on cost. The small difference between Keikyu and Monorail matters less than transfer convenience and your final hotel location.
When bus is worth paying for
A limousine bus can be worth it if it stops near your hotel, avoids stairs, or saves a stressful transfer with luggage.
When taxi makes sense
Taxi is usually the expensive fallback, but it can make sense for late arrivals, groups, or travelers with heavy bags.
