A massive metropolis blending tradition, neon districts, and hyper-efficient transit.
Recommended: Rail - Dense rail network makes trains the best choice.
Keikyu and monorail trains connect both airports to central Tokyo. Dense rail network makes getting around easy.
Don't drag your bags through Tokyo. Luggage storage services available near the airport and in the city center.
Check current weather conditions for Tokyo before your layover. Dress in layers for airport-to-city transitions — terminals can be cold while city streets may be warm.
Tokyo is incredibly efficient, but it’s still a massive city — your best move is to pick one area and do it well. Trains are fast, but transfers and station size can eat time. If you go out, keep a strict “turn back” time and avoid anything that requires crossing the whole city.
