Haneda (HND) airport transfer
From the airport to the city, take the Tokyo monorail to the final Hamamatsucho station. From there, you can transfer to the JR East Yamanote loop line to get to your exact destination.
Onward to IIJ, take the loop JR Yamanote line counter-clockwise (toward Tokyo/Ueno) to Akihabara station, then transfer to the transversal JR Chuo-Sobu line to Iidabashi station.
Narita (NRT) airport transfer
The airport is located quite far from the city, in the neighboring Chiba prefecture. There are two competing train companies to get to the city:
Please note that the first train to the airport start around 6:00. If your flight leaves Narita before 9:00, you should really consider staying at a Narita airport hotel the night before.
Narita Express
The Narita Express operated by JR East goes directly to/from Tokyo-Central station.
From Tokyo-Central to IIJ, take the JR Chuo line to Iidabashi station.
with JR Pass
Th JR Pass (and JR East Pass) include unlimited rides on the Narita Express. Ask for a ticket to Tokyo at the same time as you exchange your JR Pass voucher for the real pass.
without JR Pass
You can buy a discounted round-trip if you go back to Narita within 14 days.
Keisei
Keisei operates three different types of services between Narita and Tokyo-Ueno (actually Keisei-Ueno station).
Skyliner
The Skyliner is the fastest option to the city, and is recommended if you cannot buy a round-trip. You can buy a ticket online in advance for a small discount here.
Keisei Main Line
The limited express is the cheapest (and slowest) option. You can buy a ticket at the station.
Onward to IIJ, walk 600 meters south from Keisei-Ueno to the Toei metro Ueno-Okachimachi station, and take the Oedo line to Iidabashi station.
Kansai International (KIX) "Osaka" airport transfer
Directly to Tokyo
This only makes sense with a JR Pass. Get the train tickets at the same time as you exchange the voucher for the pass:
- JR West's Kansai-Airport Express to 'Shin-Osaka, then
- JR Central's Tokkaido line Shinkansen to Tokyo-Central.
Via Osaka
- JR West Kansai-Airport Express with a JR Pass, or
- Nankai Electric Railway without a JR Pass.
Chubu Centrair Nagoya airport (NGO)
- Meiteitsu Limited Express to Nagoya central, then
- JR Central's Tokkaido line Shinkansen to Tokyo-Central.
