The most comfortable option: a private transfer straight to your hotel
Haneda is close to the city, but with suitcases after a long flight the train is still effort. If you simply want to arrive, book the transfer in advance. It is not the cheapest option, but it is the most comfortable: an English-speaking driver meets you in the arrivals hall, helps with your luggage and drives you to your address, at a fixed fare that you pay in advance.
- Welcome Pickups* (advertising): fixed fare, payment in advance, a driver with a name sign in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1, 2 or 3, flight monitoring and up to one hour of waiting time according to the provider. To Tokyo Station, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ueno or Asakusa the provider states from €87 for a vehicle with up to four people, and from €104 at night (19:00 to 5:59) (as of 25 Oct 2026), which is about €22 per person with four travellers. According to the provider the ride takes about 17 to 23 minutes.
- Kiwitaxi* (advertising): transfer from Haneda at a fixed fare that you see before you pay.
- GetTransfer* (advertising): drivers submit offers here, you compare vehicle and price and choose yourself.
For comparison: the monorail and Keikyu are much cheaper per person. The private transfer pays off for groups, families, a lot of luggage or a late arrival. Check prices and availability with the provider.
Which connection is right for me?
Haneda is much closer to central Tokyo than Narita, so all connections are short and cheap. Choose by destination and luggage: for trains on the JR network, take the Monorail to Hamamatsucho. If you are heading toward Shinagawa, Yokohama or Asakusa, take the Keikyu Line. With lots of luggage and a hotel in Shinjuku, Shibuya or Ikebukuro, the Limousine Bus is the easiest.

How do I take the Tokyo Monorail?
The Monorail connects all three terminals with Hamamatsucho, where you change to the JR Yamanote Line. The Haneda Express takes about 13 minutes from Terminal 3, 16 to 17 from Terminal 1 and 18 to 19 from Terminal 2 (Local trains take a little longer). The fare is the same from all terminals: ¥520, or ¥519 with an IC card. Trains run on average every 5 minutes, and there is no reservation. You can use the Welcome Suica on the Monorail and buy it at the Monorail station in Terminal 3, with details in our guide to the IC card.
When do I take the Keikyu Line?
The Keikyu Airport Line runs from Haneda Terminal 1·2 and Terminal 3 to Shinagawa. The airport lists about 15 minutes to Shinagawa, about 30 minutes to Tokyo Station, about 40 minutes to Ueno and Asakusa, about 45 to Shibuya and about 50 to Shinjuku. There are through services toward Asakusa and Narita and toward Yokohama. The fare to Shinagawa is about ¥330. Note: the Keikyu site was not accessible when we checked, so the fare and travel time are a guide value from the airport page and search excerpts. The first train runs shortly after 5 am and the last around midnight.
How does the Limousine Bus from Haneda work?
The bus goes without a change to many hotel areas and is comfortable with suitcases. According to the timetable of 25 October 2026 the fares are: T-CAT ¥1,000, Tokyo Station ¥1,200, Shibuya ¥1,300, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro ¥1,400 (half for children). According to the airport the ride takes about 30 to 40 minutes to T-CAT and Tokyo Station, 35 to 40 minutes to Shinjuku and Shibuya and around 55 minutes to Ikebukuro. To Shinjuku the first bus leaves Terminal 3 at 6:15 and the last regular one at 23:40. Tickets are sold at machines in Terminal 1 and 2 and in Terminal 3 also at the counter. Whether you must reserve depends on the route.
How do I get into the city at night from Haneda?
Haneda has night connections. Besides the last trains around midnight, Limousine Bus night buses leave Terminal 3 at 0:20, 1:00, 1:40 and 2:20 to Shinjuku and Ikebukuro for ¥2,800. A Keikyu bus leaves at 1:20 for Yokohama. A taxi is a realistic option in Haneda, because the city centre is close. The airport notes that fixed fares exist (tolls extra) but does not give the amounts. Taxi stands are on level 1F of all three terminals. If you land in the middle of the night and fly on early, a hotel right at the airport makes sense, and you can find them with the hotels at Haneda Airport.
How do I get from Haneda to Narita?
The Limousine Bus runs to Narita for ¥3,600 (children ¥1,800), the first bus leaves at 6:40, the last around 20:20, and the ride takes 65 to 85 minutes.
