I've been to Japan almost 10 times now, and I happened to snag a half-price airport transfer during the Double 12 sale. The experience was fantastic! Traveling with a child, I didn't have to carry luggage up and down platforms. We arrived at the airport just in time to avoid the peak check-in times for the trains; as soon as it was empty, we could immediately hang up our luggage. If your budget allows, I highly recommend it.
You need to have a self-service machine at JR station that can scan your passport to exchange it. Overall, it's very convenient to use and can be used in the San'in area. The only downside is that you have to pay extra to take a tram or bus to Izumo Taisha Shrine.
