10D9N Spring Japan Trip: Airport Limousine Bus to Haneda Airport
If you are looking for a convenient and yet, affordable, way of transportation between Shinjuku and Haneda Airport, you may want to check out the airport limousine bus provided by www.limousinebus.co.jp. They offer a lot of picking up points in Shinjuku (complete list here). We chose the one nearest to our hotel, Shinjuku Station West Exit.
The reason of why we chose to go to the Shinjuku Station West Exit is because the ticket counter for the airport limousine is situated right opposite the picking up location. In order to avoid disappointment, we bought our tickets the day before. We did not have to pay when we made our reservation but we need to reserve the pick up timing. The ticket costs JPY 1,230.
Once the bus has arrived, you need to show the airport limousine ticket to the driver. The driver will then help you to keep your luggage at the luggage compartment under the bus. He will give you a ticket with number for baggage collection. Once he has done keeping all the luggages, he will then collect the payment from you and you can board the bus. The travel time between Shinjuku Station and Haneda Airport is more or less 30 minutes.
Welcome to Haneda Airport. We were pretty much tired and felt a bit sad when we reached Haneda Airport because that means we were leaving Japan in a bit. But nonetheless, we were pretty relieved that we managed to reach the airport and settle the check-in without any hassle.
But wait, don't go pass the immigration just yet because there are chocolates waiting for you to buy. Japanese airports are the best places to buy Japanese chocolates like Royce and Kitkat since there is no GST charged here. Yeah!
The variety of Kitkat sold at Haneda Airport is pretty huge. The rum and raisin taste so yummy. Do note that the flavour offered here may change time to time depends on the season.
