1.What car and what door should I use to get to the Yaesu North Exit in 2 minutes?
The first car of the Yamanote Line outer tracks train is No.1, so car No.9 is the third car from the back.
Check the platform door before you get on the train and move!
If you get lost on the platform where you got off, look for door No.3 of car No.9 on the platform door. If you start from there, you can get there without getting lost.
Look for door No.3 of car No.9 on the platform door of platform No.5, which has two green lines. Please do not make a mistake.
2.View of Yaesu North Exit from above
The Yaesu North Exit we are aiming for is the is marked with the red circle. Use the 6 escalator to get there.

3.About the escalator to use
This is a guide to the escalator you will use. Yamanote line outer tracks trains stop at 2F, platform No. 5.
First, look for door No.3 of car No.9 on the guide map below. The escalator you will be using is located at 6.

In the platform map above, the direction of travel is on the right, so after getting off the train, you should go backward (left) which is the opposite direction of travel.
Tip.
You can use the magnified view to display the platform map vertically in a larger size.
If you point the top of the screen in the direction the train is going, it will stop at the station in the same way, so it’s easy to visualize. door No.3 of car No.9. Don’t forget ^^.

(80m x 1 min) + 30m
So, I rounded up to 2 minutes.
