Haneda or Narita for Ginza?
From ¥15,000 from Haneda against ¥22,000 from Narita, and the drive is shorter from Haneda. If your flight options allow it, Haneda is usually the quicker and cheaper way to reach Ginza. From Narita the drive is longer, and a car straight to the hotel saves you the changes along the way.
Private car, train or bus?
For routes, fares and timetables, check the operators directly:
- JR East: https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/
- Keikyu: https://www.keikyu.co.jp/en/
- Airport Limousine bus: https://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/
A private car is usually easier when:
- You have a lot of luggage. Changing trains means carrying bags between levels and finding the right exit. A private car takes you from the airport to the hotel area.
- You are travelling with 3 or more people. Pricing is per vehicle, so the cost per person falls as the group grows. Work out whether it pays off for your party and vehicle size.
- You are travelling with children or older relatives. You can book child seats and avoid transfers and carrying bags.
- You arrive late at night or early in the morning. Check the operators for first and last train times; our service runs 24 hours.
- You are coming from Narita. The ride is longer, and going door to door avoids changing trains.
If you are travelling alone or as a pair with light luggage, the train is also a reasonable choice.
