From Tokyo, you'll need to take the Shinkansen bullet train to access Iwate via the biggest city of Morioka City. From NRT airport, catch the Narita Airport Express (NEX) train to Tokyo station. Departures are frequent with one every 30 minutes or so.  Note that reservations for the bullet train can be made at the airport upon arrival in Japan. Consider getting a money saving JR East Tohoku Rail Pass to keep costs down.
