It became more convenient to go to airports?
(Shinagawa St., Tokyo)
On November 18, Keihin Electric Express Railway Co., Ltd. has opened "Haneda Airport Station" to connect directly between Shinagawa, center of Tokyo, and Haneda Airport.(We had to transfer from train to monorail on the way to Haneda Airport) At the same time, we could come and go without any transfer between Haneda Airport and Narita Airport, where is about 60km away from Haneda.
Up to now, we could go straight from Haneda to Narita only by bus and it took 75minutes but it costs \3,000. New line takes 102minutes but it costs \1,560. Going by train takes more times but it is safety without being involved in trafic jam and delay.
Owing to the new line, it became more convenient to come and go between Haneda and Narita. But they should be located at the same place from the beginning because Haneda is the entrance from Tokyo to local and Narita is the front door overseas to Tokyo. They should have thought over when they built the airport.
This picture is the first train bound for Narita Airport.
