Pros and Cons of Traveling by Train

Here are three advantages of taking the train to Haneda Airport:

• Frequent service means shorter wait times
• Low cost
• No traffic congestion to worry about, making it easy to plan your schedule

There are also three disadvantages:

• You may not get a seat during busy periods
• Delays or service suspensions can occur due to accidents or weather
• Stairs within stations can be difficult to manage with large luggage

As you can see, taking the train comes with both cost advantages and the potential downside of not getting a seat. Weigh both points before deciding whether to use this option.

Getting from Meguro Station to Haneda Airport: By Taxi

Next, here’s a look at travel time and other details for taking a taxi from Meguro Station to Haneda Airport, covering the following points. Use this as a reference when considering a taxi.

• Travel time and fare
• Pros and cons

Travel Time and Fare

Here are the available routes when traveling from Meguro Station to Haneda Airport by taxi.

Route	Fare	Time
Via expressway	About ¥9,250	About 27 min
Via surface roads (Tokyo Route 418)	About ¥7,300	About 29 min

Whether you take surface roads or the expressway, there isn’t a huge difference in distance or travel time. If you go via the Shuto Expressway Wangan Route, the fare will include the expressway toll.

That said, the travel times given here are estimates for when there’s no congestion. Surface roads can get congested on weekends and during holiday periods like Golden Week, which can lengthen travel time. If you’re on a tight schedule, we recommend the expressway route, even though it costs a bit more.

Pros and Cons of Taking a Taxi

Here are three advantages of taking a taxi:

• You can be picked up right at your door, so there’s no need to carry your luggage around
• Available any time, even early morning or late at night
• You can head out right from home even in bad weather

There are also three disadvantages:

• Fares are higher compared to other transportation options
• Limited seating capacity makes it unsuitable for large groups
• Traffic congestion can make arrival times unpredictable

While a taxi offers greater convenience than other public transportation options — like being picked up from home — many people find the higher fare a deterrent, which is one of its defining characteristics.
