Your journey, step by step

  1. Haneda Airport — your arrival terminal

    T1/T2: Keikyu gates, B1F.
    T3: Keikyu city/Yokohama-bound gate, 2F arrivals (B2F goes to T1/T2).
    Choose a train toward Shinagawa / city center (都心), not Yokohama. Check the board or ask staff if a transfer is needed. About 15 min to Shinagawa, depending on the train.

  2. Shinagawa Station (transfer)

    Transfer to the JR Yamanote Line outer loop (toward Shibuya / Shinjuku). Board at Platform 3. About 20 min on the train to Shinjuku; allow extra time for the transfer and waiting.

  3. Shinjuku Station

    Arrive at Shinjuku Station (JR). Follow the on-platform and concourse signs to the exit for your destination (see Exit info above).

At your destination

Shinjuku has many exits — East Exit (Higashi-guchi) for Kabukicho & shopping; West Exit (Nishi-guchi) for hotels & Tocho. Follow signs to your area.

Before you travel

Total adult one-way fare: Keikyu ¥330 + JR ¥260 (IC: ¥327 + ¥253). Paper tickets work too; you do not need to buy a new IC card for this journey. Check when buying a ticket whether it includes the JR section.

Is this journey a good fit?

Use this guide when your destination is Shinjuku and you are comfortable changing trains at Shinagawa. Read the transfer step before buying a ticket. The displayed fare is for the journey described in this guide; it is not a promise that this is the cheapest or quickest choice for every departure. With large luggage, a step-free requirement or a late arrival, compare the airport’s official transport options for your actual arrival time before deciding.

Start from your arrival terminal

Do not switch terminals just to match a route screenshot. First check your terminal, then use the corresponding gate instructions in step 1. At Terminal 3, the Keikyu gate for Tokyo and Yokohama is different from the gate for Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Match both the operator name and direction on the signs; a picture of a train alone is not enough.

Before boarding at Shinagawa

Your next destination after leaving Keikyu is the JR Yamanote Line toward Shibuya and Shinjuku. Keep the next step open while following the station signs. If the departure board does not agree with the guide, stop and ask staff before boarding. You can show the station names “品川 → 新宿” together with the line name. RailBuddy cannot see a changed platform or a disruption on the day.

Finish at the right part of Shinjuku

Reaching Shinjuku Station does not finish the trip to your hotel. Before leaving the station, compare your hotel’s official address and access instructions with the exit guidance in this guide. If they differ, use the exit that serves your actual address. Save the address and this guide before travelling; RailBuddy’s map animation is an illustration, not a walking navigation service.

Check with the operators

Check your terminal, departure time and current fare before travelling. The total time is an estimate, not a live timetable.
