Haneda Airport to central Tokyo: train, bus or taxi?

Haneda is close to the city: Keikyu reaches Shinagawa in 13 minutes for ¥330, and the Tokyo Monorail reaches Hamamatsucho for ¥520. For Shinjuku or Shibuya with heavy bags, the Airport Limousine bus costs ¥1,300–1,400. Fares and times are from the operators, checked on 28 October 2026 for a weekday. International flights use Terminal 3; ANA’s international flights also use Terminal 2.

Taxis and private transfers

Taxi stands at Haneda offer flat fares to Tokyo’s wards, no booking needed, tolls extra: Chiyoda (around Tokyo Station) ¥7,600, Shibuya ¥8,500, Shinjuku ¥9,000, Taito (Ueno, Asakusa) ¥9,100.

For a family with big bags, compare Welcome Pickups and Klook airport transfers: priced per car, with the driver waiting in the arrivals hall.

Going home: customs check first, then bag drop

For tax-free goods bought from 1 November 2026 you pay the tax-included price and get the tax back when you leave. Back at Haneda, before you check in any bag, scan your passport at a customs tax-free kiosk to confirm that the goods leave Japan. Where the kiosks are: Haneda Airport tax refund guide.
