Tokyo International Airport - Flight Information and Guide (HND)

How to get to Tokyo International Airport

Tokyo city center is about 15 km from the airport: the most convenient connection is by train or monorail, with travel times of 15-30 minutes.

By Car

Travelers arriving by car reach central Tokyo in approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

By Train

Tokyo Monorail connects the airport to Hamamatsucho in approximately 13-18 minutes, fare 519 yen with IC card; from there you can easily continue on the JR Yamanote line. Alternatively, the Keikyu line connects directly to Shinagawa in approximately 15 minutes at a lower fare, around 330 yen.

💡

Tips The combined ticket 'Monorail and Yamanote Line' (590 yen) is available only on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and some selected dates, is sold only on the day of travel, and allows you to get off at any Yamanote Line station, often being more convenient than a single ticket on days when it is offered.

Haneda → Ginza

The most direct route combines Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho, JR Yamanote Line to Shimbashi, and a final stop on the Ginza Line metro: in total about 30-35 minutes and 700 yen. Those preferring a single transfer can get off the Keikyu Line at Higashi-Ginza, just steps away from the department stores in the district.

Haneda → Shinagawa

The Keikyu Line reaches Shinagawa in just 13 minutes for about 300 yen: it's the most convenient hub for those continuing immediately with Shinkansen to Kyoto, Osaka or elsewhere in Japan, thanks to the direct connection with JR lines.

Haneda → Yokohama

The fast trains on the Keikyu Line arrive at Yokohama Station without transfers in about 30 minutes, for a fare of just 400 yen: it's the simplest alternative for those staying in the port area or Minato Mirai.

Haneda → Odaiba

There is no direct railway connection: the most practical solution remains the Limousine bus to Odaiba (about 30 minutes) or a taxi, also useful for those arriving with heavy luggage after a late-night flight who want to avoid transfers.

Car rental at Tokyo International Airport

The major car rental companies have desks at the airport, although driving in Tokyo is generally discouraged given the excellent public transportation network.

Bring your driving license, passport, and an International Driving Permit (IDP); remember that in Japan you drive on the left.

Hotels near Tokyo International Airport

Haneda is so close to Tokyo that for many travelers the question hardly arises: with a 15-minute train ride, it is better to sleep in the city and enjoy a Japanese evening. The exceptions are flights the train doesn't cover well, namely departures before 7, which require you to be at the airport before the first trains, and arrivals after midnight, when only the fixed-fare taxi remains. In that case it matters to know which terminal you depart from: T3 serves international flights, T1 and T2 mostly domestic ones, and the hotels connected on foot differ for each side.
