thanks for the help guys.
I plan to use the arrival paid showers before leaving NRT.
land at 6:15,
get landside around 6:45.
Help my fd get on the 7am bus to Capitol Tokyu.
Head back inside the terminal and use the paid showers - 7:30 and either catch the limo bus or the 7:44 train to shibuya.
How bad would traffic be for the 7:50 bus leaving NRT?

Alternatively if it were I, I would
1) take NEX to Tokyo,
2) transfer to Marunouchi Line (in the direction of Shinjuku), go three stops (6 minutes) to Kokkai Gijidomae station,
3) get off, follow signs to go through the Chiyoda Line platform to exit 5,
4) after reaching the street walk 100 meters (maybe less) to your right to the entrance (other side of the street) of the Capitol Tokyu Hotel.
This will take you about 75 minutes. (Caveat - easily done with a rollerboard or backpack, but harder if you have a lot of luggage).
You can also walk 5 minutes from the Capitol Tokyu and catch the Ginza line direct to Shibuya.

thanks for the advice 5khours.
I just want to make sure my friend can make it to the hotel with the least amount of transits and gets there in without any hassle.
So probably the bus would be the easiest (but not quickest) way.
I should've made my question slightly clearer.

according to the limo bus website, it says pick up at NRT at 7:55 arrive shibuya at 9:40. Is this accurate?

Actually, the bus drivers are very good at finding alternate routes in case the Rainbow bridge is backed up.
If you wait long enough then you can take a direct bus to Shibuya Excel. Why don't you just take a shower in the hotel!?!
The TCAT bus avoids some of the potential congestion and they are confident about citing realistic drive times. So you might want to do that anyway, but it's nice not to have to take the subway.

I doubt the Shibuya excel would let me check in and shower at 9/10am in the morning and i'll be out and about all day. Therefore I don't want smell up all of Tokyo and would want to shower before hand.
thx for the tips guys

I'm trying to find the timetable from Shibuya to Narita via the Narita Express. All I can find is this: https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/pdf/press_20220304_nex_e.pdf which shows Shinjuku but not Shibuya. Does anyone know where I can find the timetable?
Also at Shibuya, which entrance would I want? https://www.shibuyastation.com/shibu...ding-your-way/ New South Gate?

The NEX at Shibuya will depart exactly 6 minutes after the departure from Shinjuku.
