Travel: Flights to Tokyo from London City Airport (lcy)

Tokyo has two large airports: Narita for international flights, and Haneda for (mostly) domestic flights.

Narita Airport

Tokyo's main international gateway is Narita Airport (???? NRT), located in the town of Narita nearly 70 kilometers northeast of Tokyo and covered in a separate article.

Transportation to and from Narita Airport is largely done by the Narita Express train (stops at Tokyo, Shinagawa, Yokohama, Shinjuku and several other locations), the Keisei Skyliner train (stops at Nippori and Ueno), and the Airport Limousine bus service, which stops at a variety of hotels in Tokyo.

Haneda Airport

Most domestic services, as well as the shuttle service to Seoul, fly into Haneda Airport (???? IATA: HND) , officially known as Tokyo International Airport, in Ota. Terminal 1 houses the JAL group including Skymark and Skynet, while Terminal 2 is home to ANA and affiliate Air Do. Services to Seoul-Gimpo use the small separate International Terminal, which is connected to the main domestic terminals by a free shuttle bus that runs every 5 minutes.

The easiest and most scenic way from Haneda to the city is the Tokyo Monorail with a station in each terminal running to Hamamatsucho (16 min, ¥470), from where you can connect to almost anywhere in Tokyo on the JR Yamanote line. The other, slightly cheaper alternative is the private Keikyu (??) line, which has a single station between the terminals and runs to Shinagawa (19 min, ¥400) and Yokohama (27 min, ¥470). Keikyu also runs trains to Haneda from the Toei Asakusa subway line, and even a few direct services to Narita. Note that there is no JR service to the airport, and the "Airport Terminal 2" station that pops up in some route search engines is located in Narita, not Haneda!

Ch?fu Airfield

Ch?fu Airfield (????? Ch?fu hik?j?) serves only some turboprop flights to the Izu Islands south of Tokyo. The nearest railway station is Nishi-Ch?fu on the Kei? Line, a 15-minute walk away. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Chofu or Mitaka stations.
