Airport Limousine

Great ride to take you to your hotel or a train station you want to go to. It’s easy and quite inexpensive. A great tip for those who carry a Discover card, it’s discounted quite a bit. Although Discover isn’t used as much here in Japan, this one company does! Check the time table against your plane time and take this bus! It’s at the airport or kiosks at train stations. Look for the bright orange sign!
Very organized lines, you stand on the numbered line which coincides with the destination on the screen. Easy and comfy!

Very organized service. We bought round trip tickets from the airport to our hotel and back. They had tags for our luggage and the numbers had to match so nobody else could take your luggage. They were on time too!

I caught this service upon arrival at Haneda Airport. Sure, there are monorail and rail links from Haneda that take you into Tokyo however as I wasn’t familiar with the lay of the land and the numerous train lines, I decided to take the ‘easy’option and jump on the Airport Limousine (bus). Given it was a Sunday afternoon, I figured traffic would not be an issue and it wasn’t. I caught the bus to Shinjuku station (this one wasn’t stopping at hotels in West Shinjuku) which suited me fine as my hotel was only a short stroll from the West Exist of Shinjuku station. The drive was pretty quick AFTER we left Haneda. The International Terminal is the first stop so you have to do the loop around the 2 Domestic Terminals before the bus heads towards Tokyo. It was a pleasant enough ride, clean smooth bus and 30 minutes later we pulled into Shinjuku station. They give you tickets for your luggage (stowed underneath) and ensure it matches before they release your bags to you.
TIP: Once you leave immigration and customs at Haneda, there is a ticket booth just outside the exit. Buy your ticket here and follow the signs downstairs to the correct bus stand. Easy.

I took the «Friendly Bus» from Narita for the simple reason that it would drop me directly at my hotel. After a long flight, I did not want to deal with subways or cabs after taking the Narita Express.
The seats are relatively cramped and it makes stops so people get on. By the time we got to TCAT, it was packed. Then you stop seemingly all the time, which is a drag and makes the ride seem interminable. But the payoff is that you get dropped right at your hotel. I managed to screw up: I was staying at The Royal Park Hotel Shiodome but saw Park Hotel Shiodome on the list of stops and went with that. There was some consternation when we got to the Park Hotel Shiodome stop and there was an extra bag. This was easily sorted out and the next stop was The Royal Park Hotel…
Would I repeat? It depends on how hard it would be to get to my destination via subway or can I guess.
