I took the directory photos via the hallway on the left on the map ( in pink ).


The Narita Express arrives on track #15.


Go upstairs by escalator.


As soon as you leave the escalator, turn on the left.


You can see the signpost directing you to the Shinkansen track immediately.



There is a spacious waiting area on the Shinkansen premises before you clear the turnstile.


Shinkansen entrance turnstiles. The Kyoto, Osaka bound tracks are #23 and 24.

It's much simpler to change trains at Shinagawa than at Tokyo, as you have noticed.
