How to Move Between Terminals at Haneda Airport

Haneda Airport has three terminals, each serving different flights. You can move between terminals for free, so if you go to the wrong one, simply transfer.

1. From Terminal 1 to Terminal 2

You can travel from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 by bus or on foot.

By bus, take the “Inter-Domestic Terminal Bus” from Bus Stop 8 on the 1st floor of Terminal 1, and you’ll arrive at Terminal 2 in about 3 minutes.

It runs every 3–5 minutes, but is only available from 5:00 AM to midnight.

On foot, you use the underground connecting passage. Go down to B1F, follow the signs for the “Terminal 2 Connecting Passage,” and take the escalator further in. It’s about 400 meters long, but there are moving walkways, so it takes about 4–5 minutes.

2. From Terminal 1 to the International Terminal

You can travel from Terminal 1 to the International Terminal by bus, train, or monorail.

By bus, take the “Inter-Domestic Terminal Bus” from Bus Stop 8 on the 1st floor of Terminal 1, and you’ll arrive at the International Terminal in about 5 minutes.

It runs every 3–5 minutes, but is only available from 5:00 AM to midnight.

For train or monorail, only passengers transferring from a domestic flight to an international flight can get a free “transfer ticket” at the information counter on the 1st floor of Terminal 1. Note that you’ll need to show your passport and air ticket to receive it. The journey takes about 3 minutes.

We Recommend NearMe for Getting to Haneda Airport Terminal 1

When heading to Haneda Airport Terminal 1, we recommend using NearMe. In this section, we’ll introduce NearMe.

1. Overview

NearMe is a service provided by our company, NearMe Co., Ltd., that picks you up from a location of your choice and takes you to the airport.

It’s similar to a taxi, but differs in that we come to pick you up and the fare is a flat rate.

This removes the burden of carrying heavy luggage for your trip, and since the fare is fixed, you can use it with peace of mind. It’s also more affordable than a taxi.

2. How to Book

NearMe requires advance reservation. First, enter the required information on the NearMe website. We’ll send you an email within 24 hours confirming whether a vehicle is available, so please check it. Your pickup time and vehicle will be finalized by 6:00 PM the day before your ride. (If you book the day before your ride, we’ll contact you the same day.) On the day, we’ll arrive to pick you up at the agreed time, so please board then.

3. Fare

The fare is a flat rate starting from ¥2,980 per person. However, the following wards have different rates:

  • ¥3,480/person: Arakawa, Nakano, Suginami, Toshima wards
  • ¥3,980/person: Katsushika, Adachi, Kita wards
  • ¥4,480/person: Itabashi, Nerima wards

　*Children under 12 pay half the above fare.

　*Children aged 5 and under riding on a parent’s lap are free.

　*Groups of 3 or more receive a group discount (¥500 off per person).

　*Payment is made online in advance.

4. Travel Time

Since NearMe picks you up at the location you specify, travel time varies depending on where you are.

From Shinjuku to Haneda Airport, it takes about 45 minutes. This is longer than a taxi, but the fare is less than half the price. Also, since we come to pick you up, there’s no need to carry heavy luggage to a bus stop.

5 Benefits of Using NearMe to Get to Haneda Airport

There are five benefits to using NearMe:

  1. Flat-rate fare
  2. Affordable pricing
  3. Pickup from any location you choose
  4. Online payment available
  5. No need to carry heavy luggage

1. Flat-Rate Fare

Since NearMe’s fare is fixed, you can check it in advance before using the service.

Have you ever had the experience of taking a taxi and finding the fare was higher than expected? With NearMe’s flat rate, you’ll never pay more than expected. Another benefit is that it’s easier to budget for your overall trip.

2. Affordable Pricing

NearMe is cheaper than a taxi. For example, traveling from Shinjuku costs from ¥7,300 by taxi, but from ¥2,980 per person with NearMe.

We also offer considerations for children, such as half-price fares for those under 12 and free rides for children aged 5 and under riding on a parent’s lap, so we encourage families to consider using the service too.

For groups of 3 or more, we also offer a group discount of ¥500 off per person.

3. Pickup From Any Location You Choose

NearMe comes to pick you up at the location you specify. If you choose your home, you can get to the airport without having to carry heavy luggage. You can also be picked up from your workplace or depart from the airport, so please make use of the service.

4. Online Payment Available

Since NearMe uses advance online payment, you can get in and out of the vehicle smoothly. If you have large luggage or small children, boarding and getting off can be a hassle. But if payment is already completed in advance, you can use NearMe with peace of mind.

5. No Need to Carry Heavy Luggage

Since NearMe takes you from your specified location straight to the airport, there’s no need to carry heavy luggage.

With a taxi, you need to carry your luggage to a main street, and with a limousine bus, you need to carry it to a bus stop — both of which can be a hassle.

With NearMe, as long as you’re within Tokyo’s 23 wards, you can be picked up from anywhere you like. Please use the service from your home, workplace, or wherever suits you.
