Perhaps I'll give it a try next time if the weather is accommodating. It was quite warm, and I really wanted to get to the hotel. Since the Keikyu line was closed, more people were taking the Monorail from HND (I had to wait for the 3rd train since the platform was crowded, and the approaching trains were already packed), and the one that finally had space was a non-express train.

Although on this last trip I was quickly reminded that some of those subway stations seemed more sweltering hot than being outdoors, so maybe walking would have been the way to go.
