How can I travel from Narita to Haneda airport, visiting Shibuya in between?

It's possible, but you're not going to have a lot of time if you only have 6 hours to do it in, and I would not attempt this if you have a lot of bags to drag around.

Narita to Shibuya is about 80 minutes by Narita Express, although beware that not all N'EX trains stop at Shibuya, meaning you may have a wait of up to 30 minutes. There are other options (bus, connecting trains, etc), but none are meaningfully faster.

From Shibuya to Haneda, there are at least three different ways:

  1. Easiest: Limousine Bus direct, every 30-60 min, just under an hour (assuming no traffic)
  2. Fastest: JR Yamanote Line to Shinagawa, transfer to Keikyu to airport, total ~36 min. Beware that Shinagawa is a large station and finding the right train may be challenging.
  3. Most fun: JR Yamanote Line to Hamamatsucho, transfer to Tokyo Monorail to airport, total ~44 min. This transfer is much easier, as the station is small and all monorails go to the airport, and the views from the monorail are great.

I'd allocate at least 3 hours in travel time alone. Add in one hour at Narita for immigration etc and another at Haneda for check-in etc (are you flying domestic or int'l?), and that leaves you with around one hour actually in Shibuya.
