I'm a US passport holder. My flight lands at Narita airport at 4 pm and does not fly out till 11 am next day.

Do I need a transit visa?

Is it okay for me to leave the airport to explore and come back next morning?

US citizen are entitled to stay up to 90 days as a tourist in Japan. Answer is from official Embassy Of Japan USA.

  • A visa is NOT necessary for US passport holders visiting Japan for a short-term stay of less than 90 days with the purpose of tourism and business.

Since you have a 19 hours layover at Narita airport, you can simply enjoy visa free acess to Narita city. Further you also don't need any transit visa as a US citizen.
