Haneda Airport

Haneda Airport: Info

Haneda Airport has been Tokyo’s major air hub since 1931.

In the early 2000s, limited international charter flights resumed, and runway expansions into Tokyo Bay enabled 24-hour operations. A new International Terminal opened in 2010, with further expansions in 2014, allowing for increased international flights.

Today, Haneda is the world’s 4th busiest airport, primarily serving domestic travelers. It offers better weather resilience than Narita, thanks to its four runways.

Access to Tokyo:

Tokyo Monorail: ~20 minutes to Hamamatsucho Station (Yamanote Line), with stops at Terminals 1, 2, and International.
Keikyu Rail Line: ~20 minutes to Shinagawa Station, stopping at Domestic and International Terminals.

Haneda’s proximity to central Tokyo makes it a preferred choice over Narita for many travelers.

Terminal 1

Opened in 1993, Terminal 1, known as “Big Bird”, was initially used by all airlines. Today, it primarily serves Japan Airlines (JAL), along with Skymark Airlines and select Star Flyer flights.

The terminal features spacious check-in areas, multiple lounges, and a variety of shopping and dining options, including duty-free stores, luxury boutiques, and traditional Japanese eateries.

For travelers, Terminal 1 provides excellent accessibility, with direct connections to the Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu Rail Line, as well as extensive bus and taxi services.

Terminal 2

Opened in 2004, Terminal 2 became the new home for All Nippon Airways (ANA) and its subsidiaries, Air Do and Solaseed Air. Some Star Flyer flights also operate from this terminal.

Designed for efficiency and passenger comfort, Terminal 2 features modern check-in facilities, ANA lounges, extensive shopping, and a diverse selection of restaurants. The terminal offers rooftop observation decks for plane spotting and a relaxing ambiance for travelers.

Terminal 2 is well-connected via the Tokyo Monorail (Haneda Airport Terminal 2 Station) and the Keikyu Rail Line (Haneda Airport Terminal 1·2 Station), ensuring convenient access to central Tokyo.

Terminal 3

With the expansion of international flights at Haneda, a purpose-built international terminal was opened in 2010 to accommodate the increasing demand. However, as international traffic grew rapidly, the terminal soon became overcrowded. To address this, an extension was added in 2014, providing additional gates, facilities, and amenities.

Despite the expansion, Terminal 3 still struggles to meet demand, especially as Haneda continues to establish itself as a major international hub. To alleviate congestion, a plan was put in place to move all All Nippon Airways (ANA) international flights to Terminal 2. However, this transition was delayed due to COVID-19, and as of October 2024, ANA’s international flights operate from both Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, with gate assignments changing daily.

All other international airlines exclusively use Terminal 3, which remains the primary gateway for international travelers at Haneda. The terminal offers duty-free shopping, a wide range of dining options, lounges, and cultural exhibits to enhance the passenger experience.

Access to Terminal 3 is convenient via the Tokyo Monorail (Haneda Airport Terminal 3 Station) and the Keikyu Rail Line (Haneda Airport Terminal 3 Station), providing seamless connections to central Tokyo.
