sounds good
note that shinagawa/tokyo station may work too (since both shinkansen/NEX can stop there). others may work too (shinjuku, ueno w/ keisei skyliner express), but would require a (free) transfer from shinkansen to those stations
or super lazy, leave bags inside station lockers (pay 2 days locker fee) / luggageforward to NRT airport (which requires extra days from osaka)
