Jalan Jalan Japan : Haneda Airport, Suica and Monorail Pass

Getting from Haneda Airport to the City (Vice Versa)

There are Two Ways to get from Haneda Airport to the city. In the arrival hall, look straight ahead and you will see a sign pointing to the Monorail on the left and another to the Keihin Express on the right.

*A factor which can help you decide which mode of transport to take is Your Hotel’s Location. JR Shinagawa Station is closer to JR Shinjuku, JR Shibuya and JR Ikebukuro Station. JR Hamamatsucho is closer to JR Tokyo and JR Ueno Station.

1) Keihin Express takes 19 mins to JR Shinagawa Station

2) Tokyo Monorail takes 22 mins to JR Hamamatsucho Station

*TIP : If you are planning to take the monorail, please go to the information counter in the arrival hall to check on the return timing for the monorail.


* Sample of the Suica and Monorail Pass

• A Suica and Monorail Pass is available for foreign passport holders (round trip 2700 ¥) (one way 2400 ¥). When you board the monorail, please use the Tokyo Monorail Saver Ticket and not the Suica Pass.

*TIP : You can use the remaining money in your Suica card at the Duty Free Shop in the Airport.
