From Airport to the center of Tokyo
Same as other countries, you can find the taxi at airport as well but compare to trains, it is high expenses and takes time. So very convenient to choose public transportations.
Besides we dont use Uber in Japan, you can take taxi at major stations or airport.
Please see below!
From Haneda Airport to Tokyo Center
Haneda Airport is closer to Tokyo, so the journey is quicker.
- Tokyo Monorail:
- Take the Tokyo Monorail from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho Station (about 13 minutes).
- From Hamamatsucho, transfer to the JR Yamanote Line to reach major stations like Tokyo Station, Shinjuku, or Shibuya.
- Keikyu Line:
- Take the Keikyu Line from Haneda Airport to Shinagawa Station (about 11 minutes).
- From Shinagawa, transfer to the JR Yamanote Line to reach other parts of Tokyo.
From Narita Airport to Tokyo Center
Narita Airport is farther from Tokyo, so the journey takes longer.
- Narita Express (N’EX):
- Take the Narita Express directly to major stations like Tokyo Station, Shinjuku, or Shibuya (about 60-90 minutes).
- This is the most convenient option if you have a Japan Rail Pass.
- Keisei Skyliner:
- Take the Keisei Skyliner from Narita Airport to Nippori Station or Ueno Station (about 40-50 minutes).
- From there, transfer to the JR Yamanote Line to reach other parts of Tokyo.
