Travel tips

Narita International Airport and Haneda Airport provide an impressive range of facilities and amenities for passengers before they continue with their journey into the heart of the city. Discover a diverse selection of restaurants offering delicious meals or indulge in light shopping by browsing the abundance of boutique shops located in the terminals. Additionally, both airports provide ATMs, currency exchange services, as well as shower facilities. Passengers requiring special assistance can seek out a member of staff, who is readily available to provide the necessary support needed.

Choosing your airport in Tokyo

If you plan to arrive or depart from Tokyo in the early hours, Haneda Airport may present a more convenient option. Located only about 30 minutes from downtown Tokyo, Haneda simplifies travel for those scheduled for early flights or arriving late at night. Visitors staying in central Tokyo will appreciate the reduced travel time, allowing for more restful sleep before their journey.

For those visiting during peak seasons, particularly in Spring and Autumn, Narita Airport can provide a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere upon arrival or departure. During these busy periods, such as cherry blossom season in April or the stunning autumn foliage in November, Haneda Airport tends to attract larger crowds. As a result, visitors arriving at Narita may find shorter lines at check-in, security, and immigration, creating a more pleasant travel experience.

Located 70 km northeast of the city, taxis are the most convenient way to reach the city centre from Narita International Airport, as it takes approximately 40 minutes. Another option is to take a train on the Keisei Narita Sky Access line, which provides a picturesque one-hour journey from the airport to Nihonbashi Station in the central Chuo City district. This route allows you to enjoy the scenic views along the way. If you prefer a faster public transport option, the Skyliner service is also available. It can transport you to central Tokyo in as little as 45 minutes, providing a swift and efficient travel experience.

For Haneda Airport, the quickest way downtown is by taxi, which takes only 15 minutes. Alternatively, the Keikyū Airport Line trains arrive at all airport terminals and arrive in the heart of the city in around 40 minutes. Many local buses are also available and will take you to various areas in and around the city centre in about 20 minutes.

Standing at 634 meters, Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Japan and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city from its observation decks, the Tembo Deck and Tembo Galleria. Visitors can enjoy stunning vistas that stretch as far as Mount Fuji on clear days. Beyond the views, Tokyo Skytree Town offers a variety of attractions. Shoppers can explore numerous shops and restaurants, including unique cafes and the famous SKYTREE SHOP, where you can find exclusive merchandise and souvenirs. For a memorable dining experience, consider the restaurant located 345 meters up, featuring delicious cuisine with a spectacular backdrop.

For those seeking a sensory-rich journey into the world of Japanese tea, the Sakurai Japanese Tea Experience blends traditional tea culture with contemporary aesthetics and innovative brewing techniques. Guests can enjoy a wide selection of freshly roasted and blended teas, including varieties such as steamed sencha, roasted hojicha, and powdered matcha, all prepared with meticulous care in front of them at the intimate counter seating. The experience encompasses multiple senses—taste, aroma, texture, sight, and sound—creating a meditative and immersive environment that elevates tea drinking beyond mere refreshment. In addition to exquisite teas, Sakurai features tea-infused cocktails later in the day, offering a creative fusion for those interested in unusual beverage options. The tasting menu pairs teas with traditional wagashi (Japanese sweets), enhancing the flavours and providing an authentic cultural treat.

Before heading home, consider spending a day at the Senso-ji and immerse yourself in the city's rich cultural heritage. The temple dates back over 1,300 years and is dedicated to Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. Visitors enter through the famous Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), known for its massive red lantern and symbolic status in Japan. The approach to the temple, Nakamise Street, is lined with charming shops selling traditional snacks, souvenirs, and artisan crafts, perfect for picking up last-minute gifts and experiencing local flavours. The temple complex includes the Main Hall, a striking five-story pagoda, and the nearby Asakusa Shrine, where the founders of Senso-ji are venerated. Visitors can also explore tranquil gardens, historic halls such as Komagatado with its Bodhisattva statue, and participate in traditional practices like omikuji (fortune-telling). The area surrounding Senso-ji is lively with cultural events, including the famous Sanja Matsuri festival every May, attracting millions for vibrant parades and rituals.

Signature dishes include their famous whole-grilled blackthroat seaperch, prized for its exquisite flavour, and Awaji Island whole roasted onions, which are grilled to sweet tenderness and served with kelp salt.
