- Drop your luggage in a locker using your Suica card
- Explore the city using the Yamanote line
- If hungry, Akihabara has some easy choices for a meal and is also an interesting place to explore
- Return to Shinagawa and take the Keikyu Line to Haneda Airport
BenA you are the man! I actually printed out your post and did everything that you said. It was a great layover and I thoroughly enjoyed Shibuya sans bags for the first time. It was so nice being able to walk around with out the bags and enjoy the scenery.
Thanks so much for your detailed post - It really made the difference.
