Haneda Airport

Haneda Airport is a major terminal facility in Ota with multiple levels handling both domestic and international air traffic. The space contains extensive shopping zones, restaurants, and clear pathways designed to move passengers efficiently through the building.

The airport began as Tokyo Haneda Airfield in 1931, operating only domestic routes at first. Over subsequent decades, it expanded gradually to accommodate international air traffic and services.

Terminal 3 features Edo Alley, a passage designed to evoke old Japanese towns with regional food stalls and craft items on display. Visitors encounter traditional design and local flavors in one walkable corridor.

The airport can be reached by Tokyo Monorail from Hamamatsucho Station or the Keikyu Line from Shinagawa Station, both providing direct connections to central Tokyo. These rail options make it simple to move between the terminal and the city.

A dedicated aviation shrine in Terminal 1 allows passengers to perform traditional Japanese rituals before flying. This religious feature is rare in modern airports and offers a glimpse into Japanese spiritual practices.
