Early morning flights at Haneda Airport include flights starting at 6 o'clock, so in order to board an early morning flight, you must arrive at the airport that much earlier. It is possible that the first flight from your area or accommodation to Haneda Airport will not make it in time. So, what are the early morning transportation options to Haneda Airport?
In this article, we will introduce transportation methods for arriving at Haneda Airport early in the morning.
The first conclusion I came up with was as follows.

tokyo monorail | First train arrived at 5:17 | 500 yen (from Hamamatsucho) |
Keikyu Airport Line | First train arrived at 5:29 | 300 yen (from Shinagawa station) |

What time do early morning flights depart from Haneda Airport?
The first flight departing from Haneda Airport is from 6am.
Main first flight times (example of domestic flights)
To Itami Airport...departs at 6:20
To New Chitose Airport...departs at 6:15
To Fukuoka Airport...departs at 6:25
To Naha Airport...departs at 6:15
New Chitose Airport flight and Naha flight depart at 6:15. It's quite early.
Considering that I have to pass through the security checkpoint 20 minutes early at 5:55 to board this flight, I would like to arrive at Haneda Airport around 5:45.
When determining your arrival time at the airport, you must take into account boarding procedures such as check-in and security checkpoint deadlines. In any case, in order to board an early morning flight, you must arrive at Haneda Airport around 5 o'clock.
Please note that the domestic terminal is closed from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. The international terminal is open 24 hours.
Now, let's take a look at each mode of transportation.
tokyo monorail
Let's start with the Tokyo Monorail, one of the most popular means of transportation. The first train of the Tokyo Monorail departed from Hamamatsucho Station at 4:59. If you board this train, you will arrive at the final stop, Haneda Airport Terminal 2, at 5:17.
Can I board the first train at Hamamatsucho Station from each station?
- You can board the first train leaving Tokyo Station at 4:41am.
- You can board the first train leaving Ueno Station at 4:33.
- You can board the first train leaving Shinagawa Station at 4:32.
- Unable to board from Shinjuku Station (first train arrives at Haneda Airport T2 at 5:44)
- Unable to board from Shibuya Station (first train arrives at Haneda Airport T2 at 5:44)
The starting station for the Tokyo Monorail is Hamamatsucho Station. You cannot board the first train from Shinjuku Station or Shibuya Station, which takes a long time to get to Hamamatsucho Station. On the other hand, you can board the first train of the Tokyo Monorail from places such as Tokyo Station, which are just a few stations away from Hamamatsucho.
Keikyu Airport Line
Along with the Tokyo Monorail, the Keikyu Airport Line is a popular means of transportation. The first train on the Keikyu Airport Line departed from Shinagawa Station at 5:09am. If you board this train, you will arrive at the final stop, Haneda Airport Terminal 1 and 2 Station, at 5:29. It starts 10 minutes later than the Tokyo Monorail and arrives 12 minutes later.
In other words, Keikyu is no longer an option from Tokyo Station, Ueno Station, Shinagawa Station, etc., where you can board the first train of the Tokyo Monorail.
Can I board the first train at Shinagawa Station from each station?
- You can board the first train departing Shinjuku Station at 4:43am.
- You can board the first train leaving Shibuya Station at 4:49.
The train departs from Yokohama Station at 5:02, and by changing trains at Keikyu Kamata Station, you can board the first train departing from Shinagawa. As above, you can arrive at Haneda Airport at 5:29.

Stay at a hotel in or near Haneda Airport
If you stay at a hotel near Haneda Airport, you will have plenty of time to move around until close to departure time. When traveling by train, bus, or taxi, you have to cut down on your sleep time to compensate for the travel time, and you end up using up extra physical energy before your trip or business trip. In that sense, staying at a hotel has benefits that go beyond the price.
You can also take advantage of taxis at cheaper prices at hotels near Kamata Station or Tenkubashi Station, which are a little far from the airport. You can move it for around 1000 yen to 3000 yen.
As a hotel-specific service, some hotels may provide a free shuttle bus to the airport.
