Which option is right for you?

🌙

Late night arrival

Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu Line stop around 12 AM. Pre-book a transfer or take a taxi if arriving after midnight.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family with luggage

Limousine Bus is easiest with heavy luggage — no stairs, goes direct to major hotels. Welcome Pickups is cheaper than 2 taxis for families of 4.

💰

Budget traveler

Keikyu Line to Shinagawa (¥300, 11 min) is the cheapest option and connects to the entire JR/Yamanote network.

🚃 IC Card (Suica / ICOCA)

Both Suica and ICOCA work on all Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu trains from Haneda. Load money before tapping the gate.

💡 Welcome Suica (iPhone/Android) can be loaded at the airport and works immediately. Great if you forgot to set it up.

  • Rush hour (7:30–9:30 AM and 5–8 PM) on Keikyu can be very crowded with commuters
  • The free Haneda shuttle bus connects Terminal 1, 2, and 3 — useful if your gate is at a different terminal
