1. Limousine bus
2. Train
3. Taxi
4. NearMe

Let’s take a detailed look at the advantages and disadvantages of each.

1. Limousine Bus

For those with a lot of luggage or who worry about getting lost when transferring trains, traveling by bus is also a great option.

Regularly scheduled limousine buses run from Shibuya to Haneda Airport, with three departure points. The table below summarizes the travel time and fare.

Departure Point	Fare	Travel Time

Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel	Adults: ¥1,100 / Children: ¥550	From 45 min

These departure points are located some distance apart, and the transfer time from the train differs depending on the location. Use the following as a reference when choosing your departure point.

• Shibuya Mark City → Convenient for transfers from the Keio Inokashira Line
• Shibuya Fukuras → Convenient for transfers from JR lines and Tokyu linesCerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel → Located more than a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station, this stop is for guests of the hotel and nearby accommodations

When traveling from Shibuya to Haneda Airport by bus, we recommend allowing plenty of extra time. Buses from any of these departure points travel to Haneda Airport via the Shuto Expressway, so depending on road conditions, arrival times can be significantly delayed.

Also, compared to trains, the buses run less frequently, so be sure to check the schedule in advance.

The pros and cons of traveling by bus are as follows.

Pros	• No transfers required • Can accommodate suitcases
Cons	• Risk of traffic congestion • Seats may be narrow, offering less comfort

2. Train

Train travel is the most widely recognized transportation option.

There are several train lines that go to Haneda Airport, but taking the JR Yamanote Line involves fewer transfers.

The fare, travel time, and number of transfers from Shibuya Station to Haneda Airport Station are as follows.

	Shibuya Station ⇔ Haneda Airport
Fare (IC card)	¥470
Travel Time	About 40 min
Route	■Shibuya Station ↕︎ (Yamanote Line) ■Shinagawa ↕︎ (Keikyu Line) ■Haneda Airport Terminal 3 ■Haneda Airport Terminal 1/2

Here are some points to keep in mind when traveling from Shibuya to Haneda Airport by train.

• Transferring at Shinagawa Station requires using an escalator
• Some Keikyu Main Line trains do not go to Haneda Airport

Also, if you’re using the train from Shibuya to Haneda Airport during long holidays or weekend business trips, it’s a good idea to factor in crowd levels when planning your schedule. Depending on the time of day, the Yamanote Line can get crowded enough that it’s hard to move, so those carrying large suitcases or work equipment should be especially careful.

The pros and cons of traveling by train are as follows.

Pros	• Low fare • Arrival time is fairly predictable
Cons	• Transfers can be a hassle • Hard to find space for luggage if you have a lot

3. Taxi

For those who don’t want to travel by train with a suitcase, or who want to secure their own personal space, taking a taxi to Haneda Airport is recommended.

Shibuya has several taxi stands. The two closest to the station in particular are the “Shibuya Station East Exit Taxi Stand” near Shibuya Hikarie, and the “Shibuya Station West Exit Taxi Stand” located in the roundabout at JR Shibuya Station’s west exit.

Departure Point	Fare	Travel Time
① Shibuya Station East Exit Taxi Stand ② Shibuya Station West Exit Taxi Stand	From ¥8,000	From 25 min

That said, since a lot of taxis pass through the area around Shibuya Station, it’s easy to hail one on the street compared to other stations. During times when it’s harder to catch a taxi on the street — such as rainy days when demand is high, or early morning and late at night — we recommend using a taxi stand to guarantee a ride.

Also, the main downside of taking a taxi is the high fare. Traveling from near Shibuya Station to Haneda Airport costs roughly ¥8,000, which is more expensive than the train or bus. As with the bus, there’s also a risk of traffic congestion on the Shuto Expressway, so we recommend budgeting extra money and time.

The pros and cons of traveling by taxi are as follows.

Pros	• Maintains your private space • Easy, fast travel with no transfers
Cons	• Expensive • Risk of traffic congestion
