I'll be leaving from Kyoto to Tokyo on Saturday morning, 30th July 2016, (can take the earliest Shinkansen). My flight back to India is at 9:30PM from Narita, Tokyo. I want to do the Miraikan Museum during the day. Can you please help with the following details?

  1. Is this plan feasible?

  2. Can I lock my luggage somewhere in Tokyo station?
    Are these facilities available?

Narita airport has this facility. However, going all the way till airport and coming back to the city will be a waste of time and money.

1- Yes, absolutely. The earliest shinkansen departs at 6:14 from Kyoto and arrives at 9:00 in Tokyo. Add in the ~40 minutes to get to Miraikan and you should be there at around 10:00. To get to Narita on time (about 2 hours early), you'll have to leave at about 17:30, leaving you with a more than enough 7 hours to visit.

2- This is completely subjective, but if you enjoy technology and science, go for it. I found the exibits very interesting. You might also want to visit the nearby Gundam Front Tokyo

3- Yes, there are plenty of coin lockers in Tokyo station. These will cost you up to 500 yen depending on the size you choose.
