Yamshita Park / Minato Mirai / China town
横浜/ 山下公園 / みなとみらい/ 中華街
Take an advantage of staying by HIBIYA line!
Hibiya Line actually connected to trains to Yokohama where is the next big city in the neighbor prefecture.
Change train at Nakameguro if the train terminate at Nakameguro. But connecting trains departs from the next platform which is right opposite to the train where you get off.
Get off the train at Minato Mirai or China Town.
My recommendation is taking a boat from Minato Mirai (MM21) to Yamashita Park, enjoy having Chinese lunch in China town which is right behind Yamashita Park.

Entertainment & Activities
Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo Disney Sea
Take advantage to staying on the HIBIYA line because, local people avoid to change train at JR Tokyo station for Disneyland unless she/he comes from countryside.
It is nightmare, you will almost give up going to Disneyland when you need to walk about 10-15min at Tokyo station to change trains....
Take HIBIYA line to JR HATCHOBORI station to change train to JR KEIYO Line to MAIHAMA station.
As soon as you get off the station, there is a street which takes you to the dream land!
