Fares and Booking

The limousine bus fares from Ariake Garden to Haneda Airport are as follows.

Ariake Garden – Haneda Airport	Fare
Adult one-way	¥800
Child one-way	¥400

Reference: Tokyo Airport Transport

The Ariake Garden route can only be booked through “Limousine Web,” operated by Tokyo Airport Transport. On Limousine Web, reservations open exactly one month before the travel date and are accepted up until 5 minutes before departure. Payment can be made by credit card, Alipay, WeChat Pay, and more.

After booking, a QR code will be sent to your registered email address — present this when boarding.

You can also board without a reservation if seats are available on the day. In that case, pay with cash or a transit IC card when boarding. Note that charging an IC card on board only accepts ¥1,000 bills, so either top up in advance or bring a ¥1,000 bill with you.

Travel Time and Timetable

Since the route runs from the Ariake area through the Odaiba area to Haneda Airport, the number of stops — and therefore the travel time — varies depending on the time of day.

For buses that skip the Odaiba hotel stops, the travel time is roughly 30 to 45 minutes. After 1:00 PM, more buses skip the hotel stops, so they tend to arrive relatively quickly.

On the other hand, morning buses also stop at hotels in the Odaiba area, so the travel time is about 50 to 70 minutes. Depending on road conditions, it may take even longer.

Limousine buses run roughly once an hour along the following route.
