Flying into Tokyo? Compare the main ways to continue from Haneda and Narita airports, including pre-arranged transfers, rail, airport buses and taxis.
Tokyo's airports offer several onward transportation options. The practical choice depends on your airport, destination, arrival time, luggage, group size and preferred way of traveling.
A pre-arranged transfer can be useful when you prefer to organize the airport-to-destination journey before arrival. Confirm the pickup instructions, supported route, luggage allowance, passenger capacity, price and cancellation conditions before booking.
