Photos for Tokyo are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
Terminals
Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) — ~15 km south of the centre — the close airport.
Check your terminal before you go; the airport's own site has the live terminal maps.
Lounges: access and cost
Airline lounges plus pay-per-use; confirm current access.
Walk-up paid access varies by lounge — confirm on the lounge's own page before counting on it. Credit-card lounge access is the quiet hack: if your card includes it, the airport lounges are where it pays off (card-network links coming to this guide).
Food inside the airport
Excellent: the terminal food is a destination — the Edo-market street, the ramen rows.
Ground transport: real prices
Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho (~15 min) or Keikyu to Shinagawa (~15 min); taxis ~30 min. Narita (NRT, ~70 km) is the long-haul alternative: Narita Express ~1h.
Prices move — confirm on the airport or transit operator's site before you travel. Only use official taxi ranks; ignore terminal touts.
Layover itineraries
3 hours — stay airside. 3 hours — stay airside and eat. Haneda's terminals are the layover pleasure.
6 hours — quick city trip. 6 hours — the city is ~30 min each way: Hamamatsucho to Shimbashi/Ginza, two hours, back with buffer. Very doable.
Overnight — sleep near the airport. Overnight — the airport hotels (Villa Fontaine, the transit hotel) or Hamamatsucho/Shinagawa. Compare on the usual hotel sites. Book via Booking.com and compare — airport hotels spike on disruption days.
