1. Board the Ueno-Tokyo line at Shinagawa Station

2. Board the Yamanote line at Hamamatsucho Station.

3. Board the Keihin-Tōhoku line at Hamamatsucho Station.
When we lived in Shinagawa we always found the Keihin Tohoko line to be less crowded than the Yamanote Line (I worked in Omori) -- at 4pm it's probablly a wash -- just choose the most convenient station as I would prioritize walking / accessibility / convenience with a bag versus total stops / crowdedness at that time -- After 5pm -- that would be different....
