2024 Haneda Airport to Tokyo Transport Guide: Train, Bus, Taxi & Car
Arriving in Japan via Haneda Airport (HND) and want to know what to ride to reach the center of Tokyo? We made this guide to help you decide on the best Haneda Airport to Tokyo transport for you.
Haneda Airport, also known as Tokyo International Airport, is one of the two airports servicing Tokyo, along with Narita Airport. Compared to Narita, Haneda is actually closer to the city center of Tokyo, which is more strategic if you are exploring the popular places in Tokyo like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Tokyo Disneyland.
We didn’t fly via Haneda on our 10-day Japan trip since we departed via Narita Airport, but we still put together this guide for those who want to know how to get from Haneda to Tokyo.
