Does Your Flight Arrive in the Afternoon at Terminal 3?

Then, the Limousine Bus will drop you door-to-door quickly, easily, and cheaply

Are You Flying Into Terminal 1/2 Between 8.30 am-8.30 pm?

Does Your Flight Arrive Before 8.30 am or after 10.30 pm?

Let’s Get Orientated

Tokyo Disney Resort is in Urayasu, Chiba, to the east of Tokyo. Haneda Airport is only 23km away from here, so it can take as little as 30 minutes to get there.

Transport options between Haneda and Tokyo Disney include the Limousine Bus, train, private cars, and taxis – however, not all the transport runs 24 hours (or even after 8.30 pm in some cases) – so, if you’re arriving on a very early or late flight the best choice for you is going to be different from someone arriving at11 am. The amount of luggage and how many small people you’re trying to wrangle will also play a role in which is the best option for you

If you don’t have all the info on transport in one place, it’ll probably take longer to decide on which route to take than you’d spend on the actual journey from Haneda to Tokyo Disneyland! But we’re going to make it simple and pinpoint the options we think are best for different types of trips and travelers at a glance…

Limousine Bus: The Easy (and Cheap) Option

Great for: Families, Solos, Couples, and, particularly, those arriving in the afternoon

In my opinion, the best way to get to Tokyo Disney Resort from Haneda Airport (if it’s running when you arrive) is via the Limousine Bus. Not only is this fast, but very affordable, it goes door-to-door to both the parks and most of the hotels in the resort and requires minimal walking or luggage carrying.

The earliest bus leaves at 8:30 am and the last bus is 8:30 pm. Tickets cost ¥1,000 (roughly AU$10.58, US$7.18, or £5.45) for adults and ¥500 for children.

The Limousine Bus leaves Haneda Airport every 15 minutes from Terminals 1 and 2 (which serve domestic flights, or international flights by ANA). Annoyingly, buses are less frequent at Terminal 3, the main international terminal – and buses currently also only run from this terminal between 1.50 pm and 6.50 pm.

This makes it absolutely the best choice if you’re arriving at Terminal 3 in the afternoon, but if you’re arriving in the morning, you’ll need to transfer to one of the other terminals to catch a bus (see the options for that here).

We still think this is the best cheap option as there are a lot of lifts and luggage-friendly routes around the airport, and once you’re on board the Limousine Bus takes you not just to Disney Resort, but also drops off at most of the major hotels surrounding the resorts.

The journey only takes 30 minutes (traffic dependent) and every bus has storage space for luggage/buggies, and disability access (although you should book in advance if you need to use this to make sure the bus is enabled correctly).

The only groups it isn’t a great choice for are those arriving on very early or late flights because of the 8.30-8.30 operation schedule – although, if you arrive on a 6 am flight, by the time you’ve got through immigration and customs, and got to the other terminal, you might not be far off that first departure.

How to Book the Limousine Bus

The buses can get full so it is a good idea to book in advance – if your flight is delayed, you can swap to the next bus that has seats.

To check the timetable and make bookings, head here. To add Tokyo Disney Resort as a destination click the option that says ‘the 23 wards of Tokyo’, then select Chiba – it’ll then come up as an option.

Allow enough time to get through immigration and pick up your luggage.

Private Cars: Convenient & (Relatively) Cheap

Great for: Larger families, heavy packers, late and early flights

The best mix of convenience and price to reach Tokyo Disney Resort from Haneda Airport.

Klook offers private car services from the airport to the parks and hotels that suit small and large groups.

If you’re traveling with your family and have lots of luggage (or people), this option is probably the best one you can choose. Through Klook, you can book a 5, 7, or 10-seater private vehicle – or even a bus!

A 5-seater car (which will take four passengers and two suitcases) costs from AU$84.65 (US$57.65 or £44.39), while a 10-seater (nine passengers and nine cases) costs from AU$151.49 (US$102.49 or £79.49).

A normal taxi wouldn’t be able to take more than 3-4 people and two suitcases.

To put the price into context, that’s AU$50 (US$34 or £26) more (for a family of four) than it would cost on the Limousine Bus – with no waiting for schedules or dropping off other people. Aside from the great price and flexibility, what makes this transport option so convenient is how quick and easy it is.

The journey should only take 25 to 30 minutes.

How to Book a Private Car to Tokyo Disney

One concern people have about booking private cars is what happens if your flight is delayed, but, if you book via Klook you have 90 minutes from when your plane lands to get to the car, or, if you select a pickup time, there’s a 30-minute waiting period.

Your drop-off details will be linked to your booking, but, it’s still a good idea to have your hotel details in Japanese just in case. You pay via Klook, and remember tipping is not the done thing in Japan.

Train: The Cheapest Option

Good For: Couples, Solos, Light Packers, or those on a strict budget

The cheapest way to get from Haneda Airport to Tokyo Disney Resort. However, it isn’t necessarily the most convenient choice, particularly if you’re traveling with small children, lots of luggage, and/or buggies.

There are a few different routes to choose from, but whichever one you pick, you’ll have to transfer at least once, carry your luggage up steps (and Tokyo stations can have a lot of steps!), and, depending on what time your flight comes in, you might face the risk of traveling through Tokyo’s train stations at rush hour.

Therefore, we only recommend this route for couples and solo travelers or families that don’t have too much luggage and older kids.

How to Catch the Train to Tokyo Disney Resort

I think the easiest route sees you taking the Haneda Airport Terminal 3 Monorail to Hamamatsucho. From there, you’ll join the JR Yamanote Line to Tokyo Station. You’ll then transfer again, this time to the JR Keiyo Line. This line will take you straight to Maihama station, which sits outside Tokyo Disney Resort.

You can then walk to Disneyland, or get the Disney Monorail to your hotel or, Tokyo DisneySea

Depending on transfer times, this option could take anywhere from 40 to 75 minutes. You can plan your route on the Navitime app.

If you do take this route, the journey to Maihama Station will cost from ¥820. Trains usually leave every 10 minutes. Better still most trains start operating from as early as 5 am and run until about 11.30 pm.

Taxi: The Quick & Easy Option

Good For: Smaller Families, Heavy Packers, Those Short on Time, Late or Early Flights

The quickest way to get to Disney Resort from Haneda Airport would be to take a private taxi from the queue outside the airport. They’re ready to depart as soon as you arrive and you don’t have to wait for a set departure time or for it to drop off anyone else.

A taxi from the airport to the front door of Tokyo Resort will cost approximately ¥11,000 (£60) and will probably take less than 30 minutes.

This isn’t the cheapest way to get to the resort, but it’s most definitely the quickest – and it’s available 24 hours a day.

Using a Taxi in Japan

Japanese taxi drivers are helpful and honest, they will use the meter, but they don’t always speak English so make sure that you have the address of your hotel printed in Japanese to save any confusion – especially if you’re staying somewhere like the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay, as there are a few Sheratons in Tokyo!

Taxis should take credit cards, but, do check before you get in as you don’t want to get to the end and find out their machine isn’t working, or they can’t take foreign cards for some reason. You might also have issues if your bank sends text links to authorize credit card payments and your phone isn’t roaming.

It’s therefore a good idea to have some cash on you if you’re going to catch a taxi (see more about using cash in Japan here).
