Getting from Haneda Airport to Shinjuku

The Shinjuku Ward is located in the heart of Tokyo, 24 kilometers from Haneda Airport (HND). To begin exploring all this city has to offer, you have four ways of getting from Haneda Airport to Shinjuku: local taxi, a Tokyo Haneda Airport transfer, a limousine bus, or the train. 

A Haneda Airport taxi is quick and direct, providing a door-to-door transfer in approximately 30 minutes. Similarly, a private transfer offers the same convenience but with extra benefits such as an English-speaking driver. 

If you’re keen to brave Tokyo’s sprawling and somewhat chaotic public transport network, you might prefer to take the train. This is the cheapest way to travel, although you’ll need to make at least one transfer and the journey will take 35 minutes, excluding wait times.

Lastly, you can hop on a Limousine bus which travels directly to the Shinjuku district in roughly 40 minutes. This option costs less than a taxi, but more than the train, providing a nice middle ground for people after comfort and convenience at an affordable price.

Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Tokyo at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
