Haneda to Tokyo

Haneda sits inside the city in a way Narita never will — Shinagawa is fifteen minutes away. Two railways leave from under the terminals, and which one you want depends entirely on your hotel.

Monorail or Keikyū

Both railways leave from directly beneath the terminals, both take a similar time to reach central Tokyo, and both cost about the same. The difference is where they put you down and which network they hand you to.

Tokyo Monorail
¥520 to Hamamatsuchō

Runs along Tokyo Bay to Hamamatsuchō, where you transfer to the JR Yamanote line. That makes it the natural choice for Tokyo Station, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro and anywhere else on the western half of the loop. A train roughly every five minutes. Covered by the Japan Rail Pass.

JR networkWest & north Tokyo
Keikyū Airport Line
~15 min to Shinagawa

Runs to Shinagawa, and — this is the part people miss — many services continue straight through onto the Toei Asakusa Line without changing trains. That gives you a single seat to Shimbashi, Nihombashi, Asakusabashi and Asakusa. Also the way to Yokohama, at about 30 minutes.

Fastest to ShinagawaEast Tokyo · Yokohama

The short version: Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro or Tokyo Station → monorail. Asakusa, Nihombashi, Shimbashi, Ginza or Yokohama → Keikyū. Shinagawa → Keikyū, and it is fifteen minutes.

Tokyo Monorail

The monorail has served Haneda since 1964 and still runs an average of one train every five minutes. It calls at all three airport terminal stations before running non-stop or semi-fast up the bay to Monorail Hamamatsuchō, which is directly connected to JR Hamamatsuchō on the Yamanote and Keihin-Tōhoku lines.

Through fares to the Yamanote line

Most people are not going to Hamamatsuchō, they are going somewhere on the Yamanote loop. The monorail publishes the combined fare as one figure, which is what you will actually pay at the far gate:

The ¥590 ticket, and its catch

The Monorail and Yamanote Line Discount Ticket is a flat ¥590 from any Haneda terminal station to any station on the Yamanote line. To Ikebukuro that saves ¥280 — about a third. It is sold at the ticket machines in Haneda Airport Terminal 1, 2 and 3 stations.

The catch is the calendar. It is only sold on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, plus a list of specific peak-travel blocks, currently running from 14 March 2026 to 31 March 2027. Arrive on a Tuesday in September and you cannot buy it. It is valid on the day of purchase only, there are no advance sales and no stopovers, though you may ride any ordinary or rapid JR train in non-reserved seating.

Holding a Japan Rail Pass? The pass's conditions of use name the Tokyo Monorail explicitly, so both the monorail and the JR connection beyond it are covered. Haneda to anywhere on the Yamanote line costs you nothing extra. The Keikyū line is a private railway and is not covered. More on what the pass does and doesn't cover →

Keikyū Airport Line

Keikyū's airport branch reaches Shinagawa in about fifteen minutes, which is the fastest airport-to-major-interchange time anywhere in Tokyo. From Shinagawa you have the Yamanote line, the Tōkaidō main line and the Tōkaidō Shinkansen.

The more interesting feature is through-running. Keikyū and the Toei Asakusa Line operate over each other's tracks between Haneda and Sengakuji, so a large share of trains simply carry on into central Tokyo without you changing. Toei's own guidance puts Shimbashi and Ginza at about 30 minutes from the airport on this route. Some services go further still, continuing onto the Keisei network and, on a handful of trains a day, all the way to Narita.

Check the destination, not the platform. Because trains run through onto three companies' tracks, the sign that matters at Haneda is the final destination — Shinagawa, Higashi-Ginza, Asakusa or Narita — rather than the line name. A train "bound for Shinagawa" terminates there; one "bound for Asakusa" keeps going.

Keikyū tickets worth knowing about

KEIKYU Hanetoku + Tokyo Subway Ticket, 72 h¥2,600¥1,200

Approx. US$5.60 / $7.30 / $9.80 / $12.90 / $16 at ¥163 to US$1, 30 July 2026. Sources: Keikyū — Tokyo 1-Day Ticket, Keikyū — Hanetoku Ticket & Tokyo Subway Ticket.

The Hanetoku bundle is the better of the two if you are going to lean on the subway, because it pairs the airport ride with the full Tokyo Subway Ticket — the same product that costs ¥1,000 / ¥1,500 / ¥2,000 on its own. Its Keikyū leg is a return between Haneda Airport Terminal 1·2 Station and Sengakuji, valid for nine days from the date you exchange it.

You cannot buy the Hanetoku bundle at Haneda. Keikyū sells it only online in advance, through ANA's Airport Access page, JAL MaaS or the Tokyo Skytree Enjoy Pack, and you exchange the voucher on arrival. If you land without it, you are buying tickets separately. Note also that if you exchange at Terminal 3 on the way in, you cannot alight at Terminal 1·2 on the way back.

We do not print Keikyū's point-to-point fares. Keikyū publishes them only through its own journey planner rather than as a table, so rather than reproduce a number we cannot source, here is the planner itself.

How Long It Takes

Haneda Airport publishes these estimates for train and monorail journeys from the airport. They are approximate and include the transfer where one is needed.

DestinationTime
Shinagawa~15 min
Hamamatsuchō~20 min
Tōkyō Station~30 min
Yokohama~30 min
Asakusa~40 min
Ueno~40 min
Shibuya~45 min
Shinjuku~50 min
Maihama (Tokyo Disney Resort)~50 min
Narita Airport~1 h 45 min

Source: Haneda Airport — Train & Monorail. Times are the airport's own estimates and exclude the walk from your gate.

Compare that with Narita, where the fastest train to Tokyo Station takes 53 minutes and the fastest to Nippori 36. Haneda's advantage is not really speed on the rails — it is that you are already inside the city when you get off.

Bus and Taxi

Airport Limousine

Limousine coaches run from all three Haneda terminals to hotels and neighbourhood stops across Tokyo. As at Narita, the appeal is no stairs and no transfers; the drawback is traffic, and the fact that Haneda's rail links are good enough that the bus rarely wins on time.

We do not print Airport Limousine fares — the operator publishes them only inside its reservation engine, route by route. Check your own destination on the official site rather than trusting a figure copied from elsewhere.

Official timetable, stops and fares by destination → limousinebus.co.jp

Taxi

Haneda operates a flat-rate taxi scheme covering most of Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, approved by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The flat rate assumes the Shuto Expressway and tolls are charged on top; some outlying areas revert to the meter.

No fare table here, deliberately. Unlike Narita — which publishes a full zone-by-zone list we reproduce on the Narita page — Haneda does not publish flat-rate taxi prices at all. It points passengers at the Tokyo Hire-Taxi Association and the individual operators. Confirm the fare with the driver before you set off.

If you are using Uber, GO or another hailing app, note that Haneda moved app-dispatched and reserved pickups to dedicated stands in October 2025: Terminal 1, second floor near Exit 7; Terminal 2, second floor near Exit 2; Terminal 3, eighth floor of the P5 car park. These are the departures level, not the arrivals kerb where the ordinary taxi ranks are — a genuinely confusing change if you last visited before it.

Terminals and Platforms

Haneda has three terminals. Terminal 3 is the principal international terminal, though Terminals 1 and 2 also handle some international departures — check your boarding pass rather than assuming.

All three have direct access to both railways, so your choice of train is never constrained by where you land:

Source: Haneda Airport — Train & Monorail.

Between terminals, the monorail and Keikyū both act as free-to-cheap shuttles, and there are free connecting buses. If you have a connection between an international arrival at Terminal 3 and a domestic departure at Terminal 1 or 2, budget more time than the map suggests — it is a genuine journey, not a walk.

On Arrival

IC card

Haneda Airport Terminal 3 Station has a JR EAST Travel Service Center and a Welcome Suica vending machine, so you can pick up a transit card before you go anywhere. Given that a single trip across Tokyo can cross JR, Toei and Tokyo Metro track, a card that calculates the fare for you is worth more here than in most cities.

Common Questions

How much is the monorail from Haneda Airport?
¥520 adult and ¥260 child between any Haneda terminal station and Monorail Hamamatsuchō. Continuing onto the JR Yamanote line, the through fare is published as one figure: ¥720 to Tokyo, Kanda, Akihabara, Shinagawa or Ōsaki; ¥730 to Ueno or Nippori; ¥780 to Shinjuku or Shibuya; ¥870 to Ikebukuro. Full table →
Should I take the monorail or the Keikyū line?
It depends where you are going, not which is better. The monorail runs to Hamamatsuchō and hands you to the JR Yamanote line — right for Tokyo Station, Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro. Keikyū reaches Shinagawa in about 15 minutes and then continues through onto the Toei Asakusa Line — right for Shimbashi, Nihombashi, Ginza and Asakusa without a change, and for Yokohama. Both leave from under the same terminals.
How long does it take from Haneda to central Tokyo?
Haneda's own estimates: Shinagawa ~15 min, Hamamatsuchō ~20, Tokyo Station and Yokohama ~30, Asakusa and Ueno ~40, Shibuya ~45, Shinjuku ~50. Narita Airport is about 1 hour 45 minutes. Full table →
Is there a cheaper Haneda to Tokyo ticket?
Two. The Monorail and Yamanote Line Discount Ticket is ¥590 from any Haneda terminal to any Yamanote station, against an ordinary through fare of up to ¥870 — but it is only sold on weekends, holidays and listed peak dates. On the Keikyū side, the Tokyo 1-Day Ticket (¥910 from Shinagawa) bundles a Keikyū return with a day of unlimited Toei subway, bus and tram travel.
Is the Japan Rail Pass valid from Haneda Airport?
Yes, on the Tokyo Monorail — the pass's conditions of use name it explicitly, so the monorail and the JR connection beyond it are both covered. The Keikyū line is a private railway and is not covered. What the pass does and doesn't include →
How much is a taxi from Haneda to Tokyo?
Haneda runs an official flat-rate scheme covering most of Tokyo and Kanagawa, approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, with expressway tolls on top. The airport does not publish a fare table — it directs passengers to the Tokyo Hire-Taxi Association — so we don't quote figures. Confirm the flat fare with the driver before setting off.
Which Haneda terminal is international?
Terminal 3 is the main international terminal, though Terminals 1 and 2 handle some international flights too. All three have direct access to both the Keikyū line and the Tokyo Monorail; in Terminals 1 and 2 both platforms are on B1F.
Can I get from Haneda to Narita without going through central Tokyo?
Yes. Because Keikyū, the Toei Asakusa Line and Keisei all run over each other's tracks, a small number of through services run airport to airport. Haneda puts the journey at about 1 hour 45 minutes. There are also direct limousine coaches. It is a long trip either way — if you are connecting between the two airports, allow far more time than you think. Narita guide →
