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

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:
| From Haneda to | Ordinary fare | Discount ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Yūrakuchō, Shimbashi, Tamachi, Takanawa Gateway | ¥680 | ¥590 |
| Tōkyō, Kanda, Akihabara, Shinagawa, Ōsaki, Ochanomizu | ¥720 | ¥590 |
| Ueno, Nippori, Ebisu, Meguro, Gotanda, Yotsuya, Iidabashi | ¥730 | ¥590 |
| Shinjuku, Yoyogi, Harajuku, Shibuya, Shin-Ōkubo, Sugamo | ¥780 | ¥590 |
| Ikebukuro, Mejiro, Takadanobaba | ¥870 | ¥590 |
Approx. US$4.20–5.35 ordinary, US$3.60 discounted, at ¥163 to US$1, 30 July 2026. Source: Tokyo Monorail — Monorail and Yamanote Line Discount Ticket.
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'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.

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

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.
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.
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.

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:

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.
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. Which card to buy, and the Welcome Suica catch →
Private Haneda transfers and pre-bought subway passes will sit here once our Klook, GetYourGuide and Viator applications are approved. In the meantime, the Keikyū bundles above are bought direct and the Tokyo Subway Ticket is sold at the airport.
