Airport limousine buses also run to major hotels and districts across Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama, and are a comfortable alternative with luggage. Taxis are available but expensive for the distance, while ride-share services are extremely limited in Japan and car rentals are generally not recommended for city-center travel. A new JR East Haneda Airport Access Line is under construction and expected to open by fiscal 2031, which will further improve connectivity.
