Here’s how to get from Haneda Airport to Tokyo station the fastest and easiest way! It’s the way I always choose whenever I come back to Tokyo via Haneda Airport. And that is taking the MONORAIL. Why? Because it’s fast, easy, convenient and cheap at the same time, for me.
So, whatever your destination in Tokyo center is, Tokyo, Akihabara, Shimbashi, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Ueno, Harajuku…, consider this monorail (especially going to Tokyo station direction). If you get paid by someone else or don’t care much about money, taking a cab directly to your hotel is obviously the best way :) But if you’re on your own, the monorail is very convenient overall, in my opinion. you can consider the Keikyu train too, which connects Haneda airport with Shinagawa station, another major station in Tokyo that allows you to switch to the bullet trains to Osaka/Kyoto. depending on your final station in Tokyo, the Keikyu train might be a bit faster than the monorail.
there's also the bus option, which is ideal when you have heavy luggages.
This Monorail is a short rail (17.8 km), with one end is Haneda Airport Terminal 2, and the other end is Hamamatsucho Station. And this Hamamatsucho station is connected to the main railway in Japan, which is the Japan Railway (or JR in short).
So the way it works is, you take the Monorail from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho station, and then, at Hamamatsucho station, you switch to the JR train to go to your destination.
The monorail and the train are owned and operated by 2 different companies. But you don’t have to buy 2 different tickets for your trip. You just buy 1 combined ticket at Haneda airport.
A better option, an alternative option to buying a ticket is buying the Suica card, which I demonstrated in this video. It’s the card that almost everyone in Tokyo is using everyday, including myself. Not only is it a peace of mind, it’s also a way to save time and money!
Why?
In Japan, the train ticket cost is calculated based on your start and end-station. So if you have this Suica card, you don’t have to check what ticket you have to buy every time. That saves a lot of time & effort! Plus, tickets cost a little less if you pay by Suica card. Plus, you can use this Suica card to pay at so many places, including vending machines, convenient stores, supermarkets, restaurants… Plus, most importantly, in my opinion, you can avoid all the little coins!
**Notes for the Suica card**
- Only charge an amount needed for 1-2 days. Don't charge lots of money to the card. In case you lose it, you won't lose lots of money.
- If you buy a card with your name on it, you can get it reissued in case you lose it. Make sure to have the same name as your passport.
- 500 yen is deposited to your card and you can get this money back when you return the card. Use up all your money in the card when you want to return it. that way you won't have to pay the return fee!
In short, from Haneda Airport International Terminal (Terminal 3) to Hamamatsucho Station (Tokyo center) by monorail:
- Time: 13 minutes (Rapid, no stops in between. Normal monorails take a few minutes longer)
- Cost: 200 yen/Adult, 100 yen/Child + ticket cost of JR train to your destination
====================================================
BEST CARD FOR TOURISTS:
====================================================
* If you're just visiting Japan for a short period of time,
consider the WELCOME SUICA card instead.
It's a Suica card that does NOT require deposit,
and good for 28 days.
** You can buy it at ticket vending machines at the airports,
or at JR Travel Service Centers in town. Credit cards are accepted.
