Why Fly Private
Haneda's private jet terminal is just 20 minutes from central Tokyo, while Narita — used by most commercial flights — requires 90 minutes or more by road. Flying private saves you up to three hours each way and grants access to Haneda's coveted landing slots that are severely limited for commercial carriers. During peak seasons like cherry blossom or Golden Week, private aviation ensures your schedule remains entirely flexible.
Private Jet Experience
Arriving at Tokyo Haneda Airport's private jet terminal, you clear customs in a serene VIP lounge while your luggage is handled planeside. A chauffeured Lexus or Alphard whisks you through the Bayshore tunnel, delivering you to the Ginza district in under 25 minutes. The seamless transition from tarmac to one of the world's most electric cities sets the tone for an unforgettable stay.
