In the past, Haneda was used primarily for domestic flights in Japan. Then, in 2010, it launched its new international terminal, now called Terminal 3, making it a convenient airport for international travelers visiting Tokyo.
Haneda Airport’s Terminals
The airport is divided into three terminals, with Terminals 1 and 2 handling mostly domestic flights and Terminal 3 operating mostly international flights. (See Highlights below for more information).
Travel between terminals is easy with the airport’s free and frequent shuttle buses that have travel times of less than 10 minutes.
Passengers with transfers between international flights (international to international, domestic to international, or international to domestic) can acquire a Transit Boarding Ticket for the Keikyu Line or Tokyo Monorail free of charge. These rail services travel between Terminals 1 and 3 and Terminals 2 and 3. Travelers with international flight transfers can also utilize the airport’s Transit Bus Service, which runs every 15 minutes and, similarly, travels between Terminals 1 and 3 and Terminals 2 and 3.
Terminals 1 and 2 are linked via a 400 meters long moving walkway.
Services
Haneda provides a plethora of services to ensure that guests’ travels go as smoothly as possible. Some essential travel services include ATM’s, money exchange, travel insurance, luggage storage, coin lockers, and Wi-Fi rental, to name a few. The airport also has clinics and drugstores on-site.
In addition to its convenient offerings, the airport also prides itself on creating comfortable and enjoyable experiences for travelers. For instance, guests can relax in lounges, unwind in massage chairs, or refresh themselves in the shower rooms.
For passengers with long layovers, the airport is home to three hotels (one in each terminal). Guests can stay at First Cabin (capsule hotel) in Terminal 1, Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu in Terminal 2, or The Royal Park Hotel Tokyo Haneda in Terminal 3.
