The 9 Best Hotels Near Tokyo’s Airports
Traveling to Tokyo soon and looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay near the airport? Whether you're arriving late at night or departing early in the morning, staying at a hotel near the airport can make your journey much smoother. With that in mind, we've rounded up the best hotels near Tokyo's airports that offer comfort, convenience, and easy access to transportation links.
Narita airport is located in Chiba, but it’s a common inbound flight destination for travelers headed to Tokyo. Flights into and out of Narita may be cheaper than counterparts at Haneda airport, but the quality is just as reliable. We’re starting with a list of five incredible hotels for visitors flying into and out of Narita airport to help simplify your journey.
Haneda is the huge airport just outside Tokyo’s city center, with easy access into town thanks to the Keikyu line and a monorail that goes all the way to Yokohama. Haneda recently opened a new wing with a grand hotel, offering plenty to see and do inside the airport. With three terminals, navigating Haneda can be intimidating, but fortunately, we’re here to make sure finding a convenient hotel won’t be.
