Taxis to central Tokyo run ¥3,500–5,500. Haneda's proximity to Tokyo means ground transport is faster and cheaper than from Narita in virtually all cases.
Humid subtropical climate. Summers (June–September) are hot and humid (28–35°C) with a rainy season in June and typhoons possible July through October. Typhoons occasionally divert or cancel flights, but direct hits on Tokyo are less frequent than farther south. Humidity peaks in July and August.

New Chitose serves as Hokkaido's aviation hub, with connections to regional airports across the island. Haneda's proximity to central Tokyo (30–45 minutes by monorail or Keikyu line) makes it the preferred arrival airport for Tokyo-bound travelers compared to Narita. The route experiences high load factors year-round due to both business and leisure demand.
