Haneda Airport (羽田空港, Haneda Kūkō, HND), formally known as Tokyo International Airport, is located less than 30 minutes south of central Tokyo, considerably closer to the city center than Narita Airport, Tokyo's other airport. Compared to Narita Airport, Haneda Airport handles way more domestic flights, but fewer international flights. With over 60 million passengers per year overall, Haneda Airport is by far Japan's busiest airport and ranks among the world's five busiest airports.

Haneda Airport was opened in 1931. In 1978, the then newly constructed Narita Airport took over most of Tokyo's international air traffic, while Haneda Airport was designated to handle the capital's domestic air traffic. Haneda Airport resumed handling an increased number of international flights in 2010 with the completion of a new runway and a newinternational terminal building; however, most international flights (except those to nearby Asian destinations) were banned to often inconvenient early morning and late evening slots.

From March 30, 2014, the international terminal will be increased in size by 50 percent, and the airport will start handling a certain amount of intercontinental flights during the more convenient daytime hours. In late September, a new hotel, the Royal Park Hotel The Haneda, will furthermore open inside the international terminal building, further enhancing the airport's attractiveness for international travelers. One part of the hotel will be located inside the transit zone, allowing transit travelers to overnight without passing immigration.

Domestic flights use the airport's two other terminals: terminal 1 is mainly used by JAL, while terminal 2 is mainly used by ANA. Free shuttle buses operate frequently between all terminal buildings (outside of the security check).Transit passengers between the domestic and international terminals may also use the monorail or Keikyu Railway for free if they get a special transit pass at the information counter. In addition, ANA and JAL will start operating direct buses for checked-through passengers between the secure areas of the international and their respective domestic terminals from March 30 to further reduce transit times.
