Debating between taking the Keikyū line or the monorail to Hamamatsuchō Station then either transfering or grabbing a taxi to Conrad Tokyo. I will have two large suitcases with me, so leaning toward the monorail route due to dedicated luggage space

Thanks in advance!
Hi,

It is a good 10min walk from Shimbashi station to the Conrad Tokyo with a couple of escalators at either end.
The monorail as it starts from HND is likely to be quieter ( some luggage space is elevated off the ground ie you have to lift your suitcase into the storage area) but getting from the Hamamatsucho monrail platform to the taxi rank/ JR train / Oedo subway can take a few minutes with an elevator change ( or escalators)
A taxi from HND direct to the conrad is likely to be less than Y10000 ( even allowing for traffic) ( i've paid Y6,600 from the Conrad to HND) and more convenient especially with 2 large suitcases

Regards
