That's the trouble - I'll be leaving the Four Seasons (up near Ikebukuro) and going south for Shinagawa to catch the Shinkansen toward Nagoya (for a trip up to Takayama) and then on the way back, I want to get off the shinkansen from Nagoya at Tokyo, pick up my bag there & catch the N'Ex for NRT. I need to arrive at NRT in time for checkin & security for my 4pm departure.
I calculated all the train schedules from where I'll be and realized I don't have enough time to take the shinkansen back into Tokyo (from Nagoya direction), get back up to the Four Seasons (its kinda out of the way), get my bag, go thru town to either Tokyo or Shinjuku and catch the N'Ex to be at NRT in time for my flight.
Are there no longer-term storage lockers anyone is aware of?
