6 hours in Tokyo?
Would appreciate some advice from flyertalkers familiar with Tokyo on this...

Right now I am booked on a mileage ticket (on ANA) that goes from CTS - HND arriving at 12:10pm then leaves from NRT - HKG at 6:40pm.

I am trying to decide whether to change to a more convoluted route that would not require a HND-NRT transfer. There is availability on a flight that leaves CTS at 10:45am, transit at SDJ, leaving at 4pm for NRT, arriving 5pm and then taking the same flight NRT - HKG at 6:40pm. I am a CO Gold so I presume I can go to the lounge, so the long layover in SDJ is not really a problem, but if I could, I would rather spend the time in Tokyo trying ramen stalls and the like.

What can I realistically do in the 6 hours given the travel time required and the traffic that time of the day (it's going to be a Monday)? how much actual free time in the city would I have?
