All these trains, they will depart from the same platform or not? If all from same platform, how do they deduct the fare from the IC card since the gates are located at the entry/exit point of the platform, not train.

At Haneda, it's the same platform.
But if that specific station is the starting station, there might be different platforms.
Price is the same for different genre of trains on the same line. They charge by distance.

Normally 1 hour to clear immigration.
By the time u come out, ur luggage should be off the carousel waiting for u.
U can still make it.

Now praying hard for it to clear faster supposedly midnight have lesser line usually.

Nope. Both Haneda & Narita are busy airports.
When I'm talking about 1 hour, there're 10 counters operating, at least.
Because the immigration officers will query individual. So please be prepare to answer their questions, like where you will stay, what sort of accomodation is it, etc.

When riding a limited express // Rapid train that requires a supplement fee, travelers can use the IC card to pay the base fare when passing through the ticket gates, but they need to purchase the supplement ticket separately at a ticket machine or ticket office.

Narita was busy airport but not 24 hour airport. It last flight arrived are 22:00 and Airport closed at 23:00. No way to miss any train or any bus.

Thanks everyone for the query, I have book the Hotel JAL Haneda nearby the airport. If cannot make it to Keikyu Line, then take taxi. If no taxi then walk.

Question, do I need to prebook midnight taxi? Or I just straight away jump to the taxi on the Haneda lobby??

Taxi 100% have. After 12am taxi will be extra additional charge 20% more.

Fares typically start around 600-700 yen for the first two kilometers and increase by around 80-90 yen for every additional 300-400 meters traveled.

So now go Google map calculated the distant

Thanks alot bro, I think it is safe for me then. It is only 6-7 minutes from Haneda Airport to my hotel.

aww man, i begin to like Japan.
the environment, the atmosphere and the girlspeople is nice here.

any chance for me to migrate and work here?
or at least getting working visa ?

any JDM Car Fans here.. share me some places where there is a car meet and etc.

So far I located 1 location. Daikoku. Any other place.?

What happen if the person did not purchase the supplement ticket beforehand and board the train. Can they pay on-board or when reach the destination?

In Malaysia you will Penalty Rm50. In Japan also will be no Penalty but they will ask you pay the Balance

So pay the balance on the spot? Problem is, like those wordings, is hard to differentiate for tourists.

when i in osaka, i bought ticket from namba to airport
i use the shortest route... actually wrong transit to airport

the guard allow us to hop to another train with warning la
>>he said i only allow this time, next time cannot

but actually the same thing happen x2 times b4 that, hehehe
i conclude standard reply for foreigner

That why do homework lor. Only homework can save you.

lol do homework also, sometimes when reach the platform already see there is train waiting, rush to train and then door closes

Hi, anyone stayed in sakura hostel in asakusa before? Just want to ask if want to travel aroud tokyo area is it convenient?I'm trying to look for hostel as im backpacking solo.
Btw,how about the Tokyo free guide thingy is it worth it (as you have to pay for their transport fee and lunch)or better go on your own(for first time traveller to tokyo) maybe some one day trip to nikko also.

not sure where is sakura hostel.
but any accomodation nearby their metro should be convenient.
n since u r solo, just explore urself
who knows u bump into something interesting

That's what Hyperdia is for. Find out exactly which train you need and what time it is leaving. Doesn't work if you don't synchronize your watch to JR time though.
