Haneda Airport (HND)

Home to Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways, Haneda is one of two major airports serving the Tokyo area. Several low-cost carriers also call this transport hub home, but travelers report some difficulty in finding affordable flights in and out of Haneda. Still, efficient immigration and close proximity to city center make it one of the busiest airports in Asia. 
Haneda has three terminals, two of which are connected by underground walkways. A free bus carries travelers between main terminals and smaller jet bridges every five minutes, insuring a smooth transition from the building to the gates.
Terminals 1 and 2 are home to dozens of shops, open-air restaurants and even an observation deck, providing the perfect escape for travelers facing long layovers. (Terminal 2 even has a hotel for those who get stranded by canceled flights.)

Practical Info

The airport is located about nine miles (14 km) south of Tokyo Station in Ota. Visitors should be advised that late-night and early-morning trips between the airport and city center can be difficult on public transport due to scheduling.
