Seems complicated for a newbie tourist to Japan

Thank you!!

Glad it was helpful!

Great! 👍

Happy to help.

Wonderful!

The Taxi stands are down the elevator/escalator that is located in the middle of the terminal, behind the information booth, between the Monorail and the Keikyu train line. Have a great trip! We’ll be in Japan at the same time giving our tours. If you see us, say hello!!

Appreciate it!

Last time I was at the airport, Nov. 5, 2023, I noticed the Taxi line was extremely long. Maybe more than an hour wait. I think the train, monorail, or bus may be the better option. 👍

Taxi is very expensive from what I read

The taxi from Narita airport is very expensive. It’s a lot more reasonable from Haneda airport.

Im gonna go for bus since I don’t want to drag my luggage around in the train…plus I’ll be arriving around close to rush hour. The trains will be packed. Trains might be cheaper, but the inconvenience is too much. Taxis are just too expensive.

We will try

Right now, they suspended the dedicated ANA buses that transfer their passengers between terminals so you must exit customs before transferring to terminal 2. At Haneda, after getting through immigration process (the yellow QR code in Visit Web Japan) and finger print scan, find a kiosk for Customs Declaration near the far ends of the baggage claim just before the exits (scan your passport, light blue QR code and get your picture taken), then pick up your checked luggage. It's faster in this sequence because it takes about 30 minutes for baggage to arrive after the plane stops but this trick only works at Haneda and not at Narita. You then walk out the automated gate which scans your face and if everything goes well, you should not need to stop by a customs agent. In normal hours, you can drop off your luggage at ANA's domestic transfer counter in terminal 3. If your flight is unusually early (like before 5 AM), that counter may not be open in which case you must take your luggage with you to terminal 2. Consider picking up a free monorail ticket for terminal transfer by showing your boarding pass at the information desk. Once you're at the monorail gate, look for a mechanical bell next to the payment gate on the left to call for the attendant to show your monorail ticket. It's a little faster, less crowded, and has more frequent service than the free bus. Only downside is that the information desk might be busy. In that case you can use the free bus or just pay 200 yen to ride monorail instead of waiting in line for a free ticket. If you still have your luggage, drop it off at the manned counter near security gate D dedicated for international to domestic transfer. Then go through domestic security and find your departure gate. Return trip might let you use Face Express if you are flying back on ANA or JAL. You scan your passport and boarding pass and take your picture at a kiosk at Haneda or Narita. From that point, you don't need to show your passport or boarding pass to pass through security or to board the plane (your facial scan is all it takes). Face Express has a dedicated line that is much shorter than normal security line. But from domestic to international connection, I'm not sure if you are able to use Face Express, so maybe it is best to call them ahead of time to see what the process might be. You can get the free monorail terminal transfer ticket in reverse (terminal 2 to terminal 3) as well. If you don't have a smart phone that roams in Japan, make sure to take screen shots of the QR codes in Visit Web Japan before arriving in Japan. Free WiFi service is available but if 1000 people try to connect at once in the immigration/customs area, it may not work that well.

@@emikami1 oh wow thanks for all this information! My flight lands in the afternoon at Haneda airport so I should be able to take advantage of the international to Domestic transfer (I will have one checked luggage). Going back though will be just going through Haneda like normal. My trip starts in Fukuoka but I am going to be going eastward slowly through several cities/towns and ending in Tokyo. Re vjw I have the QR codes already screenshotted plus I have a jp sim on my phone as well but I only use it for small data use and sms

Wow! We’re so glad that our video was so helpful for you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. 🙏😃🙌🏼🎊🎉

Here’s a link to the map: www.jrailpass.com/pdf/maps/JRP_tokyo_metropolitan_map.pdf

The taxi stand is the very first set of elevators and escalators located in the middle of Terminal 3. There are signs hanging from the ceiling also. At 2:48 mark in the video, you can see the elevators on the right side of the screen. FYI - Last time I was at the airport, Nov. 5, 2023, I noticed the Taxi line was extremely long. Maybe more than an hour wait. Hope this helps. Have a great trip.

If it doesn’t take you to your hotel, it’ll at least get you close. Ask the ticket desk which stop is best for you.

Bus departures stop somewhere between 9:00pm and 11:00pm depending on destinations from the airport. If your plane arrives late, you may need to take a taxi or stay at an airport hotel.

@@JapanandMoreTours Thank you very much.

Thanks

@@JapanandMoreTours I’m going in May 2024 and will definitely take your advice on a few things to consider 🆒

Have fun!!

Bus departures stop somewhere between 9:00pm and 11:00pm depending on destinations from the airport. If your plane arrives late, you may need to take a taxi or stay at an airport hotel.

We just arrived in Japan today, and from touch down to exiting customs it took a little less than an hour. Other times it’s taken us 2 hours. It just depends on the number of flights that arrive at the same time as yours.

@@JapanandMoreTours thank you so much for the information! Have a blast in Japan again.

I wanted to ask the same question.. our flight is arriving 2pm, and I’m contemplating on taking the airport bus at 3pm. But it looks like, based on your experience, we might not make it to the 3pm bus. 4pm is just too late for us, we want to rest asap for sure after 8hrs flying + 5 hrs layover. Not to mention kids in tow. Looks like our best bet will be airport taxi at about 8000yen then. Thanks for the informative videos, keep them coming! 😊

It’s up to you. I like pocket WiFi because I can connect my phone, my iPad, and my computer to one pocket WiFi router. With a sim, or an e-sim, only the phone is connected. It is possible to tether your tablet or computer, it’s just more steps to take to connect each time.

I don’t know where exactly you’re going in Funabashi, but it looks like the Keikyu line to Funabashikeibajo would be your best bet. It’s one train with no transfers. Keep in mind that the last train departure is at 10:17pm. With an 8pm arrival, this might be tight! We suggest staying one night at a hotel at the airport and then catching the train to your destination the following day.

You don’t have to do the QR code. If you don’t do the QR code, then be sure to fill out the forms on your flight before landing.

@@JapanandMoreTours Thanks so much!

It’s your call. The pocket WiFi works just like the WiFi router in your home, except it travels with you. Everyone in your party connects to it and has internet access. No need to tether, give access, every time someone wants to look something up. Returning isn’t an issue. You just put it in the provided envelope and drop it in a post box or a post office. Or buy your own unlocked pocket WiFi router and buy a SIM card to put in it. Then you get the best of both worlds.

You can preorder them from the same companies that provide the pocket WiFi. It’s also possible to get the card on arrival from either a vending machine, the WiFi/SIM desks, or Bic Camera. In my experience, the pre ordered SIM cards have better data plans.

No, but there is a cloak room to the right of the money exchange. I believe they will hold luggage.

The easiest thing to do is order your Suica card online, before you go to Japan. Or you can get them at any JR ticket machine. The JR east office has them also, but they close at 8:00 pm. You can just get a ¥500 monorail ticket to get you into town and buy one from the JR machines at Hamamatsuch station. The machines change languages and are very clear and easy to understand. As for the bank, I’ve never been at the airport past eight. According to the airport info (tokyo-haneda.com/en/floor/terminal3/2nd_floor.html) it is open 24 hours. Should it be closed, the 7Bank ATMs are right next to the bank. Have a great trip.

@@JapanandMoreTours Thank you so much, very much appreciate your response! I'm a little overwhelmed by all the planning involved and the options available. Travelling solo as an older gal too...

​@@JapanandMoreToursDo you have a link to order the Suica card online please.

​@@paulineh4019 Sure. Here you go: www.japan-rail-pass.com/transportation/prepaid-cards/suica I use this website regularly, but you can also buy it from Klook and SIM Card Geek.

@@JapanandMoreTours thank you!

From my experience, I find that APA hotels are very clean and nice. They are small rooms, so be prepared for that. We’ve never stayed at the APA in Nihonbashi.

Not yet. Glad you enjoyed this. 👍

Yes please because I will be arriving at narita in early September 🤗

Do you have a video for Haneda airport to Yokohama international cruise please

I’m not sure. I always use cash at the ticket machine. I have tried to use my US credit card at a JR ticket machine in the past with no luck. I would have cash, just in case. If anyone on here has had any experience with cc use, we’d love to know.

Thanks so much for your reply. I’m going to Japan next week.

Have fun.

Gotta agree with the advice you got about taking luggage to a central station in Tokyo. Narita is not in Tokyo, it’s a 1.5 hour train ride away in Chiba prefecture. Haneda is in Tokyo bay. I recommend Narita Express to Shinagawa, store luggage, do what you gotta do, then take Keikyu Line to Haneda (also from Shinagawa station) to catch flight.

Or you could take the Monorail to Hamamatsucho station (which the last stop - so it’s super easy) and then it’s just a 10 min walk to your hotel.

The first monorail leaves Hamamatsucho at 4:59 am and arrives at Terminal 3 at 5:14 am. The last monorail leaves Hamamatsucho at 11:45 pm and arrives at Terminal 3 at 12:05 am.

If your mobile phone service doesn’t have an international plan, it’s a way to stay connected while you’re out sightseeing. Japan has very limited public WiFi. The free WiFi that is available usually has a lengthy registration process and it kicks you off after you’re idle for a minute or two. Then you need to go through the registration process all over again to reconnect.

@@JapanandMoreTours Got it....thanks!! Really appreciate you sharing that information. 👍

Terminal 1 has a capsule hotel called First Cabin, but I don’t think there is anything in T3 anymore.

@@JapanandMoreTours thanks for your reply folks….much appreciated 👍✈️
