Is it worth it to spend 12 hours in Tokyo for a layover? Would need to change airports and would want to see something in the city. Otherwise I can book a different flight

Taxi from NRT to downtown was very expensive from what I recall. Took a bus and it was actually really easy. Train also easy

Quite possible to sight see as well as switch airports. Switch airports is fairly straightforward. They have luggage storage facilities, so do that first then go sightseeing. What you can do Depends on when you’re getting there. While the city doesn’t shut down, there’s obviously less to see/do during the night.

It’d be 6am to 6pm, flying into HND and leaving from NRT

NRT is really far from Tokyo itself, takes about 1.5 hours by train to get to Tokyo Station. I’d try and do a longer layover if you can

I finally did it. I quit and turned in my resignation in June. I’m now have been working from home for United Health Care. I wished I would have done this years ago. I started teaching right out of college 20 years ago and thought all jobs were as bad as teaching I was so wrong. My new job is not stressful I now have a normal life and look forward to going to work.
