The short answer
Shinagawa or stations on the Asakusa subway line: check a Keikyu train whose destination reaches your station. Hamamatsucho or a JR transfer there: check the Tokyo Monorail. A hotel served by an airport bus: compare the bus stop with the rail route, especially if you have luggage. Haneda Airport lists both rail lines and airport buses; the best choice depends on the exact service and your final hotel stop.12
Narita is a different airport. Use our Narita to Tokyo guide instead.
Choose by your Tokyo destination
Look at Keikyu
Keikyu links Haneda Airport with Shinagawa and some services continue toward the Toei Asakusa Line. Check the train's destination and whether your station is on that particular service before boarding.3
Look at the monorail
Tokyo Monorail runs between Haneda's terminals and Hamamatsucho. From there, you can transfer to JR for other parts of Tokyo. Include that transfer and the walk to your hotel in your comparison.4
For Shinjuku, Shibuya or Tokyo Station, compare the full journey rather than assuming one airport line goes all the way. Haneda Airport's route information gives approximate travel times to major stations, but your actual route may include a transfer.1 An airport bus may be simpler when its stop is close to your hotel; check the route, timetable and stop before choosing it.2

From the city stop to your stay
Start with your hotel’s exact address. A station or bus terminal can serve several different neighborhoods; the right exit or local connection depends on where you are staying.
- Shinagawa
For a Shinagawa hotel, check which side of the station it is on. If continuing by JR, follow the JR transfer signs and confirm your line and direction before entering the next platform.
- Hamamatsucho
A hotel near Hamamatsucho may be walkable from the monorail. Otherwise follow the JR signs and check your onward station rather than assuming the monorail reaches it.
- Asakusa / other through stops
Check the train’s destination board before boarding. After arrival, match the station exit to your hotel address; different exits can put you on opposite sides of a major road.
Save the hotel address and its nearest station exit or bus stop offline before leaving the airport. The route diagrams above are simplified and do not replace live navigation.
Three ways into Tokyo
Keikyu Line
Useful for Shinagawa and some Asakusa-line destinations. Train destinations vary, so check the display for your departure.
Keikyu official guideTokyo Monorail
Runs to Hamamatsucho, where JR connections serve other Tokyo stations. Check the total route to your hotel.
Monorail official guideAirport bus
Haneda Airport lists routes across Tokyo and the wider region. A well-placed stop can avoid a rail transfer, while road traffic may affect arrival time.

Follow signs from your terminal
Haneda has three terminals. At Terminals 1 and 2, the airport places the Keikyu and monorail ticket gates on B1F. At Terminal 3, the city-bound Keikyu gate is on the arrivals level (2F); monorail gates are on 2F and 3F. Terminal 3 has a different Keikyu gate for travel toward Terminals 1 and 2, so follow the city-bound signs.1
Bus stops differ by terminal and route. Haneda Airport lists the boarding areas and advises passengers to check the operator timetable. It says airport bus tickets should be bought before boarding, with machines at all terminals and counters also available at Terminal 3.2
Three useful checks
- Save your hotel address. Know its nearest station or bus stop, including the exit you need.
- Check your arrival time. Flight delays, immigration and baggage collection can change which departure is practical. Confirm the live schedule after landing.
- Compare the whole trip. A direct airport line may still leave you with a transfer. Count the final walk, luggage and ticket cost before paying.
Save your hotel details offline and arrange mobile data before you fly. Our Japan eSIM guide helps you check compatibility and compare plans.
