Not a good plan for a whistle stop visit. Pick somewhere that’s actually en-route from NRT to HND. For example, Tokyo station area or Ueno station area.
For example
1. Ueno
Take Keisei line to Keisei Ueno. Spend a short time exploring Ameyoko market area. Then get the Yamanote line to Hamamatsu and transfer to the Monorail to HND.
2. Tokyo
Take the NEx to Tokyo station. Have a meal in one of the skyscrapers around marunouchi. Wander as far as the imperial palace and then head back to the station for Yamanote Line to Hamamatsucho (as above)
