I think alot of you will be taking airsia to Haneda airport? And flight reaches there will be nearly midnight. So what do you do when you reach there? Check-in hotel? To me, it's not worth to waste a night stay at a hotel since it's so expensive. So I've come up with a plan, take a train to Yurakucho station, hang out at Jonathan's family restaurant (open 24 hours) and head to the tuna action at 4am at Tsujiki Fish Market. Also, have sushi breakfast there wink.gif

FYI, the last train from Haneda airport is at 12am.

if no sleep some might can't stand and feel tired since after long flight..  hmm.gif  i read previous post some take the chartered taxi or quickly catch the train (for those reach 10pm++) since immigration is quite fast at Haneda airport.. correct me if i'm wrong

Actually there is time to catch the train out of airport. Just don't check-in luggage loh. Also, we will be on the flight like 6hours? Catch some sleep on the flight. Anyway, this will be good if you want to see the tuna auction.

Chartered taxi i heard is not cheap oh..

My flight was on a Monday, took me about 30-40 minutes to clear the immigration as there were a few flights arriving around the same time. So, had a drink at Cardinal Cafe or something and slept on the benches. Woke up to pray at the prayer room around 345am, slept again at the benches. Woke up around 530, paid 1030yen at the shower room for a 30 minute shower to freshen up before leaving the airport.

To note that my trip was a trip of a group of 4 friends who are single. Not suitable for families.

not bad. hope it works well for me and my hubby smile.gif

[tion, since the whole building is dedicated to office lots. But if you are in Osaka and in the vicinity, I strongly recommend that you visit this place, and perhaps give Tokyo Sky Tree a skip.

it's a matter of cost vs usage
if you don't need to share the access, a traveller data sim would usually work out to be cheaper

I heard Japan has free wifi for tourists now...do you think this is sufficient enough? http://flets.com/freewifi/spot.html

@RegentCid

Do you have tips on where to have nice, fresh, cheap sashimi? In places like Kyoto, Kobe and Osaka. Also Kobe beef, where nice and affordable?

TQVM!
