Who Should Take the Keikyu Line?

• You’re looking to keep your travel costs low
• You have a suitcase, but just one or a manageable amount of luggage
• You want to get the travel part done quickly and spend more time sightseeing
• You’re traveling during the daytime or early evening (Note: service is less frequent late at night and early morning)

Things to Keep in Mind When Using the Keikyu Line

• During rush hours (7–9 a.m. and 5–7 p.m.), Keikyu Line trains can get crowded. Since there’s no dedicated space for suitcases, traveling with large luggage may be a bit tricky. Please be mindful of other passengers when boarding!
• To reach Minato Mirai or Motomachi-Chukagai, you’ll need to transfer at Yokohama Station. Be aware that the platforms for the Keikyu Line and the Minatomirai Line are quite far apart. Although signage is clear, if it’s your first time in Yokohama, plan at least 10 minutes for the transfer.
  
  Keikyu Line platforms are on the 1st floor on the east side of Yokohama Station, while the Minatomirai Line is on B5F on the west side. If you’re using a paper ticket, you’ll also need to purchase a separate ticket for the Minatomirai Line at Yokohama.

💡 When transferring from the Keikyu Line to the Minatomirai Line, using the north side of Yokohama Station (closer to the Haneda Airport / Shinagawa side for Keikyu, and the Shibuya side for Minatomirai Line) is usually less crowded and more efficient!

How to Get from Haneda Airport to Yokohama & Minato Mirai (By Terminal)

Haneda Airport has three terminals (Terminal 1, 2, and 3), and you can access the Keikyu Line to Yokohama from any of them.

---

From Terminals 1 & 2 (Domestic, Some International Flights)

▶ Terminal 1 (JAL, Skymark, some StarFlyer flights)

1. After exiting the arrival lobby, follow signs for “Train” or “Keikyu Line” in the central area.
2. Take the escalator or elevator down to B1 (Basement 1).
3. Once you reach the basement level, you’ll arrive at the Haneda Airport Terminal 1·2 Station (Keikyu). The ticket gates are straight ahead.

▶ Terminal 2 (ANA, Solaseed Air, Air Do, some StarFlyer flights)

1. Exit the arrival area and follow the “Train” signs on the south side (toward the Monorail).
2. Head down to Basement 1 where you’ll see the Keikyu Line station.

💡 From either terminal, it takes about 5 to 7 minutes on foot to reach the station.

---

From Terminal 3 (International Flights)

1. After exiting the arrival lobby, look straight ahead or slightly to the left for signs showing “Keikyu Line” or “Train”.
2. Take the escalator or elevator down to Basement 1.
3. You’ll arrive directly at the Haneda Airport Terminal 3 Station (Keikyu) and can proceed through the ticket gates.

💡 The station is easy to find thanks to clear signage. However, you cannot transfer between Terminal 3 and Terminals 1 or 2 from inside the ticket gates, so be sure to enter the correct terminal area before boarding.

Which Train Should You Take? Make Sure It’s Heading Toward Yokohama

When boarding the Keikyu Line from Haneda Airport, not all trains go to Yokohama!
Some head toward central Tokyo or Chiba, so it’s important to check the destination and train type before you board.

---

✅ Trains You Can Take (Go Toward Yokohama)

The following trains go directly to Yokohama Station via the Keikyu Main Line:

• Yokohama
• Zushi-Hayama
• Uraga
• Misakiguchi
• Kanazawa-Bunko

All of these destinations pass through Yokohama on the Keikyu Main Line.
Don’t worry too much about the train type—most are “Express” services to Zushi-Hayama, though you may also see “Limited Express” trains.

💡 Both Express and Limited Express trains are included in the base fare—no extra charges required.

❌ Trains You Should Avoid (Do Not Go to Yokohama)

The following trains head toward central Tokyo or Chiba and do NOT stop at Yokohama:

• Shinagawa
• Sengakuji
• Aoto
• Takasago
• Inba Nihon-idai
• Narita Airport

Also, trains labeled “Kaitoku” (Rapid Limited Express) or “Airport Kaitoku” head in the opposite direction—toward Tokyo and Chiba—not Yokohama.

Quick Tips to Avoid Confusion

• Check the electronic display on the platform for “Yokohama” before boarding. Make sure you’re on the right platform!
• Do not board “Kaitoku” or “Airport Kaitoku” trains—these head away from Yokohama. If the train does not stop at Tenkubashi (the stop right after Terminal 3), you’re likely on the wrong train.

How to Get Back to Haneda Airport from Yokohama & Minato Mirai

After exploring or staying in Yokohama, the Keikyu Line is a smooth and cost-effective way to return to Haneda Airport.
In this section, we’ll explain how to transfer from the Minatomirai Line to the Keikyu Line, and which stations to get off at depending on your terminal.

---

From the Minatomirai Line to Yokohama Station

Take a train bound for Yokohama or Tokyu Toyoko Line from any station on the Minatomirai Line.
All trains go directly to Yokohama Station, so just hop on and ride!

• Motomachi-Chukagai / Nihon-odori / Bashamichi / Minatomirai / Shin-Takashima → Yokohama (approx. 2–7 min)

💡 Minatomirai Line trains have many different destinations, so if you’re not familiar with the system, you might get confused. Just look for “Yokohama” or “Tokyu Toyoko Line” on the sign. If the destination says Motomachi-Chukagai, that’s the opposite direction—so skip it!

---

Transfer from Minatomirai Line to Keikyu Line at Yokohama

1. After exiting the Minatomirai Line ticket gate, follow the signs for the “Keikyu Line”.
2. Walk through the underground passage for about 5–8 minutes to reach the Keikyu Line ticket gates.
3. Buy a ticket or tap in with your IC card.
4. Check the signs for platform 2, heading toward Shinagawa and Haneda Airport.
5. Board a train bound for “Haneda Airport”.

💡 Direct trains to Haneda are the easiest. While it’s technically possible to board a “Kaitoku” to Shinagawa and transfer at Keikyu Kamata, this transfer is complicated and not recommended unless you’re familiar with the station layout.

Allow Extra Time for Airport Transfers
