NearMe is a new type of taxi service that lets you share a ride in a larger vehicle, such as a Toyota HiAce or Alphard.

Aside from the ride-sharing aspect, it works just like a regular taxi — you can check in your luggage and travel comfortably door-to-door. Since it’s also available in the early morning and late at night, you don’t need to worry about operating hours or the number of departures, unlike the limousine bus or train.

【Nerima to Haneda Airport】Comparison Summary of Each Transport Option

We’ve put together a table comparing the limousine bus, train, monorail, taxi, and NearMe across the following three points, to make it easy to compare.

1. Fare comparison
2. Travel time comparison
3. Pros and cons of each

Use this table as a reference to consider the best transport option for you.

Here’s a comparison of fares.

Train	¥608	¥308

NearMe also offers a group discount for parties of three or more. Please check the official website for exact pricing.

2. Travel Time Comparison

Train	approx. 1 hr 15 min

Taxi	approx. 50 min – 1 hr 10 min

5 Benefits of Using NearMe for Travel Between Nerima and Haneda Airport

We’ve covered several transport options, focusing mainly on the limousine bus.

If you’d like to travel to Haneda Airport comfortably seated, we recommend NearMe, provided by NearMe Inc. Here are five benefits of using it, in more detail.

1. You can check in your luggage and travel seated
2. You can board from a location of your choosing
3. Operates in small groups of up to 9 passengers
4. Online payment makes the day of travel smooth
5. High customer satisfaction

Let’s look at each one.

1. You Can Check In Your Luggage and Travel Seated

NearMe operates entirely by reservation. This means you can check in your luggage and be guaranteed a seat. The interior is spacious, so you won’t feel cramped the way you might on other forms of public transport.

2. You Can Board from a Location of Your Choosing

With NearMe, you can specify your preferred pickup location within the Nerima area. Since you can choose to be picked up right at your home or hotel, you get true door-to-door service.

You can also specify a pickup location anywhere within Tokyo’s 23 wards, not just Nerima, so you don’t need to wait at a stop until departure time the way you would with a train or limousine bus.

3. Operates in Small Groups of Up to 9 Passengers

NearMe operates in small groups of up to 9 passengers.

This makes it a reassuring option for families with young children. It’s also a great choice for groups of friends who want to travel together.

4. Online Payment Makes the Day of Travel Smooth

Payment is completed online in advance. Since you don’t need to take out your wallet on the day of travel, boarding and alighting are also smoother.

5. High Customer Satisfaction

NearMe has earned high satisfaction ratings from past users and is also highly rated as a service people want to recommend to friends and family. Having many repeat customers is another one of its strengths.

I always use it for business trips, traveling between my home and Haneda Airport. Above all, the value for money is unbeatable — door-to-door from my home to Haneda Airport for ¥2,980. Without NearMe, I’d have had to take a taxi to the nearest bus stop and then take a bus, which involved a lot of hassle with transfers. I also use it privately with my family. I’d definitely recommend NearMe for getting to the airport.
