Haneda Airport in Tokyo


Haneda Airport in Tokyo

Haneda Airport (羽田空港 IATA: HND) , officially known as Tokyo International Airport, in Ota is the busiest airport in all Asia despite a majority of flights being domestic. Domestic Terminal 1 houses the JAL group including Skymark and Skynet, while Domestic Terminal 2 is home to ANA and affiliate Air Do. On October 21, 2010, Haneda opened a brand new International Terminal Building along with a new runway. International flights operate into Haneda from 18 cities, with a number of these flights landing and departing during the late evening hours. Free shuttle buses run every 6 minutes between 5 AM and Midnight, connecting the International terminal with both Domestic terminals. The easiest and most scenic way from Haneda to the city is the Tokyo Monorail running to Hamamatsucho for �470, from where you can connect to almost anywhere in Tokyo on the JR Yamanote line. The monorail has a station at each of Haneda's three terminals. From the International Terminal, trains reach Hamamatsucho in as little as 14 minutes on the nonstop services; the domestic terminals are about 5 minutes further down the line. JR East maintains a Travel Service Center for foreigners in the International Terminal (open daily 11:00 to 18:30) where vouchers can be exchanged for the Japan Rail Pass and JR East Rail Pass. The Tokyo Monorail is fully covered with either pass. Starting on February 1, 2011, JR East will sell a special Suica fare package, called "Suica & Monorail" , exclusively to foreign visitors. The cost includes a discounted fare on the Tokyo Monorail (one-way or round-trip), �1500 to use on rail travel in Tokyo or on purchases at locations that accept the Suica card, and a �500 deposit. The "Suica & Monorail" ticket is sold only from the JR East Service Center at the international terminal, and can be purchased using cash or credit card. It can also be recharged with additional funds, but only by paying cash. The one-way ticket is �2400, and the round-trip ticket costs �2700; the return trip to Haneda must be taken within 10 days. The other alternative is the private Keikyu (京急) line, which has two train stations at Haneda: one for the International Terminal and one serving both Domestic terminals. Keikyu trains run to Shinagawa (15 min, �400) and Yokohama (30-35 min via Airport Express [エアポート急行], �440-470). Some Keikyu trains from Haneda continue on to the Toei Asakusa Line, providing one-seat rides to Nihonbashi (30-35 min, �550-590) and Asakusa (40-45 min, �600-640). JR Passes are not valid on Keikyu Trains. If your final destination is somewhere along the Tokaido Shinkansen (i.e. Odawara, Atami, Shizuoka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka) then it will be easier to take the Keikyu Line to Shinagawa to pick up the shinkansen, even if you have a Japan Rail Pass. Using the Tokyo Monorail will require you to take an additional train, the Yamanote Line, to either Tokyo station or Shinagawa. Limousine Buses connect Haneda Airport with Narita Airport (90 minutes, �3,000). Most Airport Rapid Express [エアポート快特] trains on the Keikyu Line also run all the way to Narita Airport's terminals; these services are much cheaper than the bus (105 minutes, �1,740), but buses operate more frequently. Note that the "Airport Terminal 2" station that pops up in some route search engines refers to terminal 2 at Narita Airport, not Haneda! Normal metered taxis to central Tokyo will cost anywhere from �4,000 to �10,000, plus a 20% surcharge between 10 PM and 5 PM. An alternative is Anzen Taxi's fixed fare service for �6,000 (�8,000 at night) to most of central Tokyo, including Shinjuku and Shibuya. If you arrive on a late flight or need to catch an early flight, beware that there are no trains between midnight and 5 AM on either the monorail or the Keikyu line. Some limousine buses do operate after midnight, but such trips incur an additional "night surcharge".
