Haneda Airport in Japan

Tokyo Haneda International Airport is an airport in a district of Tokyo serving mainly domestic or international charter flights of Japanese companies (Japan Airlines; All Nippon Airways). Haneda also receives daily “regular charter” flights from other Asian cities – Korean Air; Cathay Pacific; China Eastern Airlines. As a rule, such flights take place late in the evening or early in the morning, at a time when Narita Airport is closed.

From the airport you can go to Tokyo or other cities in Japan by train (one station, Keikyu Line) and Tokyo Monorail (two stations – one in each terminal).

Trains go to Shinagawa Station (20 minutes, ticket price is 420 yen) and travel 27 minutes (ticket price is 500 yen). The monorail goes to Hamamatsu-teo station (ticket price 500 yen), where you can transfer to other places in Tokyo. Narita Airport can be reached by train or Narita Express.

It is possible to get to Tokyo by bus, which departs from the airport twice an hour and goes to Tokyo Station, travel time 75 minutes, fare 3000 yen.

History of Haneda
Haneda Airport opened in 1931 as an airfield. At that time it was the main operating base of Japan Air Transport and served domestic flights as well as flights to Taiwan and Korea, which were under Japanese rule.

The site is now the southern part of the airport complex.

During World War II, the airport was used primarily as a base for military transport services and pilot training.

By 1978, almost all domestic flights arrived and departed here, and most international flights were moved to the newly constructed Narita Airport.

The airport was expanded in 2010 with the opening of a third terminal, mainly for international flights. To prepare for the Olympics and increase the influx of foreign passengers, a new transportation line is planned, which will connect Haneda Airport directly to Tokyo Station. It is planned that the trip will take only 18 minutes.
