From Haneda Airport, we primarily use two train lines to get to one of Tokyo's many downtowns. For a complete map of the Tokyo subway system, visit tokyometro.jp.
There are also complementary bus services available, particularly for transport to the outskirts of Tokyo or other cities. Of course, you can also use taxis and ride-sharing apps. However, a taxi ride to the city centre can be significantly longer than a train ride due to traffic jams.

Buses to Tokyo
Countless bus lines run to various districts of Tokyo and are convenient for direct travel without transfers to virtually anywhere in the city.
The downside is that they are prone to long delays due to traffic jams as well as lower frequency compared to the Tokyo Monorail or Keikyu trains.
Buses run every 20-30 minutes on average on each line, and it takes about 60-90 minutes to get to central Tokyo.
The stops are always right outside the arrivals hall and are clearly signposted.
Tickets and prices
Tickets can be purchased at the ticket booths in the arrivals hall or directly at the stops. Prices to central Tokyo range between 1 000 jpy a 1 500 jpy and are therefore 2-3 times higher than train and monorail tickets.
You can always pay with cash and foreign credit cards.
