The easiest and most scenic way from Haneda to the city is the '''[http://www.tokyo-monorail.co.jp/english/index.html Tokyo Monorail]''' running to [[Tokyo/Hamamatsucho|Hamamatsucho]] for ¥
470
, from where you can connect to almost anywhere in Tokyo on the JR Yamanote line. The monorail has a station at each of Haneda's three terminals. From the International Terminal, trains reach Hamamatsucho in as little as 14 minutes on the nonstop services; the domestic terminals are about 5 minutes farther down the line. JR East maintains a Travel Service Center for foreigners in the International Terminal (
open daily 11:00-18:30; starting April 1, 2014
open daily 7:45-18:30) where vouchers can be exchanged for the Japan Rail Pass and JR East Rail Pass, and where JR Kanto Area Passes can be purchased. The Tokyo Monorail is '''fully covered''' with any of these passes.

The other alternative is the private '''Keikyu''' (京急) line, which has two train stations at Haneda: one for the International Terminal and one serving both Domestic terminals. Keikyu trains run to [[Tokyo/Shinagawa|Shinagawa]] (15 min, ¥400) and [[Yokohama]] (30-35min via Airport Express [エアポート急行], ¥440-470). Some Keikyu trains from Haneda continue on to the Toei Asakusa Line, providing one-seat rides to Nihonbashi (30-35 min, ¥550-590) and Asakusa (40-45min, ¥600-640).

 

 

 

 

JR Passes are ''not'' valid on Keikyu Trains. If your final destination is somewhere along the '''Tokaido Shinkansen''' (i.e. [[Odawara]], [[Atami]], [[Shizuoka]], [[Nagoya]], [[Kyoto]], [[Osaka]]) then it will be easier to take the Keikyu Line to Shinagawa to pick up the shinkansen, even if you have a Japan Rail Pass. Using the Tokyo Monorail will require you to take an additional train, the Yamanote Line, to either Tokyo station or Shinagawa.

Limousine Buses connect Haneda Airport with Narita Airport (90 minutes, ¥3,
000
). Most Airport Rapid Express [エアポート快特] trains on the Keikyu Line also run all the way to Narita Airport's terminals; these services are much cheaper than the bus (105 minutes, ¥1,
740
), but buses operate more frequently. Note that the "Airport Terminal 2" station that pops up in some route search engines refers to terminal 2 at '''Narita Airport''', not Haneda!

Normal metered taxis to central Tokyo will cost anywhere from ¥4,000 to ¥10,000, plus a 20% surcharge between 22:00 and 05:00. An alternative is Anzen Taxi's [http://anzentaxi.co.jp/reserve/haneda_fee.html] fixed fare service for ¥6,000 (¥8,000 at night) to most of central Tokyo, including Shinjuku and Shibuya.
