Can you use JR Pass to get from Narita Airport to Asakusa station?

Can I use a JR Pass to get to Asakusa from Narita? You cannot use a JR Pass to get from Narita Airport to Asakusa directly. And anyway, we never recommend using the JR Pass for travel within Tokyo — it's better value-for-money to use the JR Pass for long-distance travel on the Shinkansen.
