A Complete Guide to Transportation from Haneda Airport to Popular Destinations in Tokyo (2025 Edition) – Includes bus and train ticket purchase locations, boarding points, and a full itinerary breakdown.
Tokyo Haneda Airport (also known as Tokyo International Airport), along with Narita Airport, is one of Tokyo's two major international airports. Haneda Airport is divided into three terminals (T1, T2, and T3). International flights generally arrive at T3. The most economical and convenient way to get from Haneda Airport to the city center is by train. Take the Keikyu Railway from the basement level or the Tokyo Monorail from the third floor. However, if you arrive late, have a lot of luggage, need to transfer to other trains, or have a direct bus service to your hotel, taking the bus is also a good option.

2. Three Transportation Options from Haneda Airport
There are three main ways to get from Haneda Airport to downtown Tokyo. If you want to get directly to your hotel or are catching an early morning red-eye flight, we recommend taking the Limousine Bus. If you're staying near Shinagawa Station, the Keikyu Railway is recommended; it takes just 16 minutes from the airport to Shinagawa. For those staying at Tokyo or Ueno Station, you can take the monorail, which connects you to Tokyo in just 33 minutes.
2.1. Take the Limousine Bus that takes you directly to the hotel entrance
If you're traveling with a family and your hotel happens to be near a limousine bus stop, this method is highly recommended. Several larger hotels in Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro offer these services. You can directly visit the official limousine bus website to check your hotel, fares, and schedules. If you're taking an early morning red-eye flight and are worried about train availability, there are also limousine buses departing late at night and passing through major stations like Shibuya and Shinjuku.
In addition to limousine buses, there's also the Keihin Bus, which primarily serves the Kanto suburbs (Kanagawa and Chiba). Purchasing tickets is simple: there are ticket machines in the arrivals lobby and outside near the bus platform. Tickets and route maps are available. Buses depart approximately every 30 minutes to an hour, so if you're unsure which line to take, just check on-site.
Limousine Bus
Fare: Varies depending on destination
Approximately 1,050-1,300 yen
Time: Approximately 35-75 minutes
Frequency: Every 30 minutes to an hour
Ticket Purchase Location: Purchase tickets in advance at the Limousine Bus counter or at your hotel.
2.2 Tokyo Monorail
If your destination is on the JR Yamanote Line and you're visiting Tokyo on the weekend, consider the "Tokyo Monorail x JR Yamanote Line Recommended Ticket," available only on weekends, holidays, and certain days. This ticket runs from Haneda Airport to any JR Yamanote Line station for just 500 yen. Note that you'll need to change trains at Hamamatsucho Station to take the JR line. Ticket information for each station can be found on the Tokyo Monorail website.
2.3. The Ultra-Convenient Keikyu Line
If you're heading directly to Shinagawa Station, the Keikyu Line is the way to go! No transfers required, and you can get there in just 15 minutes. Keikyu Electric Railway also offers many discount packages for international tourists, such as the "Tokyo 1-Day Ticket" (Keikyu round-trip to Haneda Airport + one-day pass for Tokyo Metropolitan Railway for 900 yen), the "Keikyu Haneda Ticket + Tokyo Subway Ticket" (Keikyu round-trip to Haneda Airport + one-day pass for Tokyo Metro for 1,400 yen/two-day pass for 1,800 yen/three-day pass for 2,100 yen), the "Keikyu Haneda/Subway 1-Day Pass" (one-day pass for Keikyu, Tokyo Metropolitan Railway, and the subway for 1,200 yen), and the "Greater Tokyo Pass" (a three-day pass for all private railways and buses in Tokyo and the surrounding three prefectures for 7,200 yen).
