Transportation from Haneda Airport to Central Tokyo Late at Night

                                                                   

 

If you arrive at Haneda Airport late at night, your transportation options to central Tokyo become more limited compared to daytime. Here's a breakdown of bus and train services:

 

1. Train Services (Keikyu Line & Tokyo Monorail)

 

Both the Keikyu Line and Tokyo Monorail offer fast and efficient connections from Haneda Airport to major Tokyo stations. However, their services typically end around midnight (00:00 - 00:15 AM).

• Keikyu Airport Line:

  • To: Shinagawa Station (a major hub for JR Yamanote Line and Shinkansen connections).

  • Travel Time: Approximately 11-15 minutes to Shinagawa.

  • Operating Hours: Roughly 5:00 AM to around midnight (e.g., last trains depart Haneda around 00:00 - 00:13 AM depending on the destination and weekday/weekend).

  • Tickets: You can purchase tickets at the station or use an IC card (Suica/PASMO).
    　　　
    　　　　　　　

• Tokyo Monorail:

  • To: Hamamatsucho Station (where you can transfer to the JR Yamanote Line).

  • Travel Time: Approximately 13-18 minutes to Hamamatsucho.

  • Operating Hours: Roughly 5:00 AM to around 11:30 PM (23:30).

  • Tickets: Available at the station or via IC card.

Important Note for Trains: If your flight arrives after 11:30 PM - midnight, you will likely miss the last train services. Always check the latest timetables on the official Keikyu and Tokyo Monorail websites closer to your travel date, as schedules can change.

 

2. Bus Services (Airport Limousine Bus & Keikyu Bus)

 

Buses offer a convenient option, especially if you have a lot of luggage, as they often go directly to major hotels or specific areas. Some bus services operate later than trains.

• Airport Limousine Bus:

  • Routes: Operates to various major areas in Tokyo, including Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Shibuya, Tokyo Station, and more. Some routes have special late-night/early-morning services.

  • Late-Night/Early-Morning Services: There are specific late-night buses, particularly to areas like Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, that run from around midnight (00:00) until approximately 4:00 AM. These are designed for late arrivals when trains are no longer running.

  • Travel Time: Varies greatly depending on traffic and destination (e.g., 30-60 minutes or more).

  • Tickets: Can be purchased at the Limousine Bus ticket counters in the arrival lobby of each terminal at Haneda Airport. Online booking is also available for some routes.

  • Boarding: Buses depart from designated platforms outside each terminal (Terminal 1, 2, and 3).
    
    　　　　　　　

• Keikyu Bus (Late Night/Early Morning Bus):

  • Keikyu Bus also operates some late-night/early-morning routes from Haneda Airport to specific destinations like Yokohama, Shibuya, and other areas.

  • Check Specific Routes & Timetables: It's crucial to check the specific Keikyu Bus website for detailed timetables for late-night services to your desired destination, as availability varies.

Recommendation for Buses: If you arrive after midnight, the Airport Limousine Bus's late-night services to major hubs like Shinjuku or Ikebukuro are often your best public transport option.

 

3. Alternatives for Very Late Arrivals (After Public Transport Stops)

 

If you arrive after all train and late-night bus services have ceased (typically after 4:00 AM), your options are:

• Taxi: Taxis are available 24/7 from Haneda Airport. This is the most convenient but also the most expensive option. Fares to central Tokyo can range from ¥7,000 to ¥15,000 or more, with a 20% late-night surcharge usually applied between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM.
  　　　　　　　　　

• Private Airport Transfer: You can pre-book a private car service. This offers convenience and a fixed price, but needs to be arranged in advance.

• Stay at an Airport Hotel: If your arrival is extremely late and you prefer to wait for morning public transport, there are hotels directly connected to or very close to Haneda Airport terminals.
