Hopefully won't affect my coming trip...

Hi all.. I have a basic question about train. I want to go to ikebukuro from haneda airport. The route is
either
haneda -> shinagawa -> ikebukuro (kekyu line + jr yamanote line) or
haneda -> hamamatsucho -> ikebukuro (monorail + jr yamanote line).

My question is do I have to buy a new ticket at transfer station (shinagawa or hamamatsucho) or can I use the same ticket to transfer to jr yamanote line?

Thanks.

u need diff ticket

Cant you take the limousine bus which is much more convenient especially if you have a lot of luggage.

THANKS for the quick answer..

I'm a poor guy and will arrive late at night.. My choice is either train or I'd rather sleep at airport. No kidding Anyway, thanks for your suggestion on alternative transport..

wat time u reach?

It is AA flight, so, it is supposed to land at 10.30pm.. Based on my own research, if I cannot catch 11.30pm train, then I will be going to the fifth floor of haneda airport for sleeping..

Solo? If solo just run as fast as u can

take bus also you feel expensive?

Bus will cause you about extra of 400 yen.....

I'm okay with a bus, but I have booked an airbnb at naka-itabashi. I need to change train at ikebukuro and catch the last train. I think the bus only stops at major city and wont go to this area (I havent done any study on bus route. I just assume). I'm with a family by the way...

your area is pretty troublesome to travel to, despite Tokyo trains run pretty late.
you'll need to rush, but before that , you'll need to clear immigration and customs and find your way to the train station.
hyperdia.com is your friend when travelling by rails. very accurate with many options. Japan's transportation are pretty punctual, there could be delays but they have a catch up system to ensure they are not too late.
i got another website that teaches how to travel by bus as well, but its in japanese so for a start, use hyperdia.

err.. your area quite troublesome to travel to. either u take airport bus or train u still need to transfer previously you mention plan to stay overnight at the airport but from here you mentioned you are with family. really not convenient unless you are solo traveler..

Not sure how young or old is your family members, but it will be tiring to sleep a night at the airport. If you do plan to stay you will be lucky to find a bench.....if not you will need to find a corner and sleep on the floor.

Both bus or train will also stop at Ikebukuro. I presume you will stop at naka-itabashi station. If yes, the last train deperts from Ikebukuro at 0045.

Congratulations

I can Bet with you, By Taking Train from Haneda to Naka-Itabashi success rate are 0%

AAX reach Haneda 10 times out of 8 times been told by Control Tower using Runway 23. If landed at Runway 23 Even U touch down at 10:30...Taxi from Runway 23 to International Terminal need 30 Minute. Means you reach Gate by 11:00, Clear Custom / etc all stuff...Fastest you can go out from Airport are 11:40 ~ 12:00. Means you will missed all Public Transport that leaving Haneda. Even Let you catch the last Train leaving Haneda. Maximum you an go also Shinagawa // Hamamatsucho Station only.


If you are lucky, Not Landing at Runway 23, Everything good. You should able to catch This Bus to Ikebukuro.
23:25 are Last Bus to Ikebukuro Station. Reach Ikebukuro Station around 00:15.
Ikebukuro to Naka Itabashi Station are Tobu Tojo Line
Last Train Leave Ikebukuro are 00:45
Because you are 1st time to Haneda plus 1st time to Ikebukuro Station, I est your success rate by this method 30%


You Sleep On Haneda Airport Rate are 70%
