Train, bus, or taxi? Here’s how to get from Shinjuku, Shibuya, Shinagawa, and Tokyo Station to Haneda—stress-free.
Haneda Airport (HND) is the most convenient international airport for travelers staying in Tokyo. Located much closer to central Tokyo than Narita, it’s a top choice for both short stays and quick getaways.
But how you get to Haneda depends a lot on where you’re staying—and what you value most. Do you prefer the speed and reliability of trains? The comfort of a limousine bus with no transfers? Or the door-to-door ease of a taxi or ride app?
