Limo bus from Keio Plaza Hotel to Haneda 2024/4/6 20:31
Hi All,
I looked at the limo bus website to see the schedule but it appears there are no limo buses from Keio Plaza Hotel to Haneda in the morning hours.
Am I reading the schedule correctly?
Last time I was in Japan, I was departing from the hotel to Narita Airport and left around 6 AM.
Does anyone know if the Limo Bus leaves early in the morning to the airport? If not, do you know what the approximate taxi fare is? We are seniors and are not interested in taking the trains to the airport.
Thank you so much.

It seems that the earliest bus on for April 7 departed Keio Plaza at 8:25.

By the way, this is how I found it.

Keio Plaza website "Location"
https://www.keioplaza.com/map/index.html

Click "Airport Limousine Bus"
https://webservice.limousinebus.co.jp/web/en/

Click "Time Table"
https://www.limousinebus.co.jp/guide/en/timetable/

Click "Narita Airport Route" "Shinjuku Area" "To Airport"

Change the date of the calendar near upper left.

I feel that airport buses have unfortunately decreased since the economy was hit by the pandemic, and also perhaps because Japan is suffering a lack of bus drivers.

I hope it helps.

Last time Narita, and this time Haneda, isn't it?

Thank you, Uco.

I am arriving to and leaving from Haneda this time. After the pandemic, the airports were changed from and to NY. I would always arrive and depart from Narita.

Since the taxi is my only option, does anyone know the approximate cost?

Thanks again.

taxi : about 10000 yen.

the first run from Keio Plaza hotel is 9:10 AM. adult 1400 yen. next is 10:10 AM.
if you go to Shinjuku bus terminal, Busta Shinjuku( it may take 5-10 min by walk), many busses depart earlier from 4:40 AM. next is 5:00, 5:20, 5:40, and so on. adult 1400 yen.

Thank you, Ken! You just saved us a bunch of money.
We will take a taxi to the bus station though.

One question (or maybe two) - I see I can reserve the seats online. Where do I go once in the terminal to actually get the tickets? The information booth doesn't open until 7 am.
Is this terminal easy to navigate?

I'm sorry about misunderstanding your destination, and I'm glad you got your answer.

If you pay upon booking online, you get your tickets by email.

But I think the manned office at Busta Shinjuku opens at 4:20 am anyway. I hope we're talking about the same thing.

Shinjuku to Haneda airport takes less than an hour from Shinjuku station and around 700 yen - one transfer either Hamamatsucho or Shinagawa. Taxi is an expensive option and certainly not the only one. Bus from the bus terminal also available - but I never use that.

Thank you for your advice but I prefer to either take the bus or a taxi. The train to the airport is a no go for me.

Yes;
as long as your taxi brings you into Busta Shinjuku,
it's easy to get to your bus stop, I think.
https://shinjuku-busterminal.co.jp/en/floormap/3f.html

On the 3rd floor,
your taxi passes by the bus arrival area and the taxi pick-up area
before reaching the taxi drop-off stand.
Getting off your taxi, you soon find the nearby elevator.
The up escalator is a bit away, over the down escalator.
The bus departure stand is on the 4th floor.

The name "Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal"
has been used since before the bus terminal was moved there.

We will take a taxi to the bus station though.

You will get to Busta Shinjuku in around 10 minutes,
and pay about 1000 to 1500 yen per car.

If your taxi runs very slowly, the fare may pile up, as time goes by.

Also, Tokyo taxi fares are set higher during late and early hours,
from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., by 20 percent.

It seems taxis from your hotel have to make a detour,
because there is a red zone
(where drivers cannot park or pause)
in front of JR Shinjuku Station South Exit,
on Kōshū Kaidō.

While your taxi runs eastbound there on Kōshū Kaidō,
you may see
JR Shinjuku Station to your left (the north)
and Busta Shinjuku to your right (the south),
but you still have several minutes.

I suggest you write down on paper or type on your smartphone
like "Busta Shinjuku (3F) Taxi Drop-off"
and show it to your taxi driver at the beginning,
so that you are never dropped off in the red zone.

Enjoy your trips!
