Flight route information.
Cathay Pacific offers daily flights to both Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT) and Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) from London Heathrow Airport (LHR), both with a layover in Hong Kong (HKG). Flights from LHR to NRT/HND take around 17 hours 15 minutes, bringing you to Terminal 2 in Tokyo Narita, or Terminal 3 in Tokyo Haneda.
Upon your arrival in Tokyo
Situated 18km south of central Tokyo, Haneda Airport is the closest of the two airports serving Japan’s capital city. You can reach the city centre in 15 minutes by taxi, 20 minutes by bus, or 40 minutes using the Keikyū Airport Line train, which runs directly to the city from all airport terminals.
Tokyo Narita Airport is located 70km northeast of the city, taking around 40 minutes to reach Tokyo by taxi. Another option is the Keisei Narita Skyaccess train, which takes an hour to bring you to Nihombashi station in the central Chuo City district.
A brief introduction to Tokyo
The world’s largest city and host of the 2021 Olympics, Tokyo is a buzzing fusion of electric lights and neon colours that blend perfectly with a vast and ancient history.
Start your trip to Tokyo by exploring one of the city’s many unique neighbourhoods. Discover Japan’s famous manga, anime and video game themed sights in Tokyo’s cultural epicentre of Akihabara. In Yanesen, you can uncover Tokyo’s traditional roots and walk through the unique walkway while taking in history at Nezu Shrine. There’s also plenty of ancient temples and shrines spread throughout the city, such as Meiji Jingu and the incredible 1,300-year-old Senso-ji. To see the city from the highest point in all of Japan, be sure to visit the top of the 634m tall Tokyo Skytree.
Tokyo is also known for its many lush gardens, such as Ueno Onshi Park, Yoyogi Park or Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. If you visit the city in spring, the cherry blossom will colour the city in pastel pinks. In the autumn, expect equally photogenic bold oranges.
Regardless of where you explore in the city, Tokyo’s consistent dining scene means you’re never far from an excellent restaurant. Some of the local favourites include soba buckwheat noodles and chewy udon noodles.
