How To Get to Yomiuri Land From Haneda Airport

Now we'll introduce the best ways of getting to Yomiuri Land from Haneda Airport.

Since there is no direct shuttle bus from Haneda Airport to Yomiuri Land, visitors will first need to use either a bus, train, or taxi that goes to one of Tokyo's main points.

One standard method is to take a highway bus to one of the major stops in the city. There are few transfers, so passengers can get to their destination without any confusion.

Highway Bus

First, at Haneda Airport Terminal 3 we board a bus headed for Shinjuku. At Shinjuku Station we transfer to the Keio Line (train) which takes us to Keio-yomiuri-land Station.

The total travel time is about two hours and the bus fare is 1,400 yen (after tax). We recommend this travel method for those who want to avoid making lots of transfers.

Train

The train is the fastest and most inexpensive of the three travel options. If you take the Keikyu Airport Line from Haneda Airport you can save yourself considerable time.

A variety of train options are available. There will be, on average, two to three transfers and the travel time will be about one hour and 15-30 minutes. The total fare will range from 776 to 913 yen.

We recommend this travel method for people who are used to taking trains on a regular basis and also for those who enjoy looking out at the cityscape as they ride the train.

Taxi

Taking a taxi is best for avoiding the crowds and for those who have lots of luggage.

Taxi from Haneda Airport to Yomiuri Land takes about one hour 23 minutes and the fare is about 11,600 yen (*Fares can differ slightly depending on the taxi company).

The taxi fare will add up to a considerable amount, but there are no required transfers so it's the easiest and most stress-free way of getting to Yomiuri Land.
