You can inquire the exact costs when buying tickets at the Arrivals area of the airport or you can book tickets online or call them directly at this number: 03-3665-7220
Do I need to make reservations?
No. The option to reserve is available but it is not required to make reservations. You can buy a ticket directly at the ticket counter located at the Arrivals section of the airport.
The main reason why we do not recommend making reservations in advance is because of unexpected delays that might occur. Your plane could be delayed due to weather, lost luggage, or that immigrations might just be having a really busy day. Some times you might need that extra time looking for the right sim card for your phone at the airport. If you were to be delayed, it would be a headache to rearrange due to delays on your part so this is why we recommend you buy tickets when you arrive at the airport and see which time slots are available. Remember, buses come every 10 to 30 minutes (every 10 minutes at Haneda) so you won’t be stranded at all with the Airport Limousine bus service.
Are the other options besides the bus?
Yes.
Besides the airport limousine buses, both Narita and Haneda airports have trains, taxis, and car rentals for you to choose from.
