Distance between Haneda Airport and Narita Airport
Haneda Airport is Japan’s largest airport in Ota Ward, Tokyo. And Narita Airport is located in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. It takes about 80 kilometers to travel by car, and it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The big 2 airports and the most troublesome ones are the size and the number of terminals! Before introducing each mobile method, it is essential to check which terminal your plane will depart from! So, I have summarized each terminal information.
Arrival / Departure terminal at Haneda Airport
- International Terminal : All international flights will depart from here and depart from here.
- Domestic passenger terminal 1 : JAL, Skymark Airplane (some StarFlyer Airlines)

At the international terminal, the second floor is the arrival lobby and the third floor is the departure lobby. On the domestic flight, the first floor is the arrival lobby, and the second floor is the departure lobby.
I recommend “Free shuttle bus between terminals” that runs between the first and the second terminal of domestic flights, between the international terminal and the Domestic Terminal railway station, every 4 minutes.
(It is possible to move without being caught in the crowd by using the underground passageway for each domestic terminal, but it will take 5 minutes since it is 400 meters.)

Benefits of moving between airports using “Limousine Bus”
There are 2 major advantages of moving by limousine bus.
- You do not need to manage your package yourself
- If you take a limousine, you can take it to the front of the lobby of the boarding lobby
Especially if you travel abroad, you will have to carry your baggage on 2 big suitcases.A limousine can be used to put all large suitcases into a bus compartment, so you don’t have to carry them, you don’t need to worry about it, you can sit down and relax on your seat.
Also, if you know where you get off, you just get off and get off!You can borrow the cart from the cart parking nearby and go to the swivel check in!
I think you can find a person who often travels abroad, but there is nothing more difficult than having a big suitcase with a large suitcase.If you use limousine bus, there is no such dissatisfaction!
Demerits of moving between airports using “Limousine Bus”
On the other hand, there are 3 major disadvantages of moving in a limousine.
- High price
- Less number of train
- Delay problem when caught in traffic jam
Compared to other methods, the price is really high. It’s not a good choice for people who want to spend less money on a trip that’s important to keep it cheap.
Also, the flight of an airplane is life. I don’t recommend it if a delay of a few minutes is fatal.

Taxi stop
At the taxi stand, Haneda Airport is located on both ends of the arrival lobby and on both ends.At Narita Airport, you will get out of the arrival lobby, and it’s near the center, and it’s a little bit closer to the south. I think it will be easy if you go out from the exit close to the center.

It is very easy to move by taxi.
First, if you take a taxi, you can sleep for 1 hours and 30 minutes, and you will be guided to the entrance of the terminal at the airport. If you get to the driver and get out of the airport right away, you will be in front of the airport departure lobby. I think it’s the easiest way to do it.
There is always a taxi at all times in 2. You can get on a taxi at any time, but you can get on a taxi at any time.There is no such good means of transportation for life as a transit of life.
Demerits of moving between airportsby taxi
However, as long as you run on a road, there is a possibility of delay due to the congestion of the road, and the price is very high because it is a taxi. Even if you get on a car, it will be more expensive than other options.
And if you travel with your family, it will be difficult to put all your luggage on a taxi if you have a lot of luggage, so it will cost about 60000 yen for 2 cars. It is easy, but I think that traveling by taxi will be the last resort for many people.
