CopyHaneda → Tokyo Station with Luggage: Easiest Transfers (2026)

Quick Answer
If you have big luggage, the easiest option is a private transfer—no station stairs, no transfers, direct to your Tokyo Station area hotel.
The Airport Limousine Bus is also luggage-friendly with storage underneath. The Tokyo Monorail + JR requires a transfer at Hamamatsucho but has luggage space.
For ultra-heavy bags or extended stays, consider luggage delivery services to send bags ahead to your hotel.
Decision Guide
| Your situation | Best option |
|---|---|
| 2+ large suitcases | Private transfer (easiest) |
| Budget-conscious & able to handle bags | Airport Bus or Monorail+JR |
| Want to explore Tokyo hands-free on day 1 | Luggage delivery service |
| Traveling with family or group | Private transfer (cost-effective for 3+) |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many bags can I bring on the Airport Limousine Bus?
Each passenger is allowed up to 2 pieces of luggage (dimensions up to 50×60×120 cm, 30 kg per item) to be stored in the under-bus compartment. Oversized or extra bags may require approval or additional fees.
Is the Tokyo Monorail crowded with luggage space?
During peak travel times (morning/evening, weekends, holidays), luggage racks on the Monorail can fill up. If traveling with large bags during rush hour, consider taking the Airport Bus or private transfer as more luggage-friendly alternatives.
Can I send my luggage to Tokyo Station itself?
Luggage delivery services typically deliver to hotels, not train stations. However, Tokyo Station has luggage storage lockers and Yamato Transport storage counters where you can store or pick up forwarded bags.
What’s the best option for a family with kids and 4 suitcases?
A private transfer is the easiest and often most cost-effective for families. No need to manage kids and luggage through busy stations—direct service from Haneda to your hotel door.
