Tokyo Haneda airport is the largest and the busiest airport in Japan
– over 300 flights take off and same number of flights land each
day and around half are Japanese domestic flights.

There are two railways connecting the airport terminal building (Haneda
Kuko station) and Tokyo city center. The Tokyo Monorail line from Hamamatsu-cho
on the JR Yamanote line is a circular line connecting to major places
in Tokyo. The monorail runs every 4 or 5 minutes and takes 24 minutes
journey from Hamamatsu-cho into the town centre, costing 470yen (US$4
or £3).

The other train is the Keihin Kyuko (Keikyu) line from Shinagawa also
on the Yamanote line. There is a direct service every 10 minutes, although
you must change train at Kamata station in the early mornings and late
at night. The journey takes between 30 and 35 minutes from Shinagawa,
and costs 400yen (US$3.50 or £2.50).

There is also a direct train to and from Narita every 80 minutes, taking
105 minutes journey. There is also a bus service between the terminal
building and major places and hotels in the Tokyo area.
