5. How to Buy Tickets

There are no tickets sold for departures from Toyocho. Payment is made directly in cash when boarding, and IC transit cards (PASMO, Suica, Kitaca, TOICA, PiTaPa, manaca, ICOCA, nimoca, Hayakaken, SUGOCA) can also be used.

Since neither phone nor online reservations are available for departures from Toyocho, seating is first-come, first-served based on the line at the stop. Because the bus stops at the “Asakusa View Hotel” and “Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo” before reaching Toyocho, there’s a chance you won’t be able to board if the bus is full.

【Haneda Airport】

Time-specified tickets can be purchased at the information counters or ticket vending machines in the arrival lobby of each terminal. In addition to cash, IC transit cards and credit cards can also be used.

For departures from Haneda Airport, online reservations (with payment required) are available, supporting credit cards as well as Alipay and WeChat Pay. After payment is completed, you simply scan the QR code sent to you to board.

Since you’ll have a time-specified ticket or a boarding QR code, there’s no need to wait in line at the stop as with departures from Toyocho.

NearMe Is a Convenient Way to Travel from Toyocho to Haneda Airport!

NearMe is a convenient way to travel from Toyocho to Haneda Airport.

Especially if you have large luggage, the limousine bus is a reasonably priced and convenient option, but carrying heavy bags from home to the bus stop can feel like a hassle. Also, with only a few departures per day and no early-morning or evening service, scheduling can be difficult. Since reservations aren’t available, you may not be able to board if the bus is full.

Until now, a taxi was the only way to solve these drawbacks. However, taxis cost 7 to 10 times more than the bus. That’s where NearMe comes in—a service you can use for about 3 times the price of the bus.

NearMe strikes an excellent balance between convenience and affordability. For less than half the price of a taxi, you can travel door-to-door at a time that suits you, including early morning or evening, while easily storing your luggage. Even when traveling with children or elderly family members, you can move door-to-door without stress.

Be sure to give NearMe a try.
