Flight route information
Cathay Pacific offers daily flights to Tokyo Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND) from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), both of which include a layover in Hong Kong. Flights from Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo take around 10 hours and bring you to Terminal 2 in Narita, or Terminal 3 in Haneda.
Upon your arrival in Tokyo
Haneda Airport (HND) is the closest of Tokyo’s two airports to the city centre, located 18km south of the city. Passengers arriving into Haneda Airport can reach the centre of the city in 15 minutes by taxi, 20 minutes by bus, or 40 minutes using the Keikyū Airport Line train.
Narita International Airport (NRT) is situated 70km northeast of Tokyo. To get to the city centre from Narita, we recommend taking the Keisei Narita Skyaccess train, which takes around an hour.
A brief introduction to Tokyo
The buzzing capital of Japan, Tokyo is an exhilarating fusion of futurism and ancient Japanese heritage, accentuated by a world class food scene.
Tokyo’s neighbourhoods are tremendously diverse and are prime for exploration. Experience Japanese fashion subcultures and the trendy cafes in the vibrant districts of Akihabara, Shinjuku and Harajuku. To see Tokyo’s ancient history, we recommend visiting the Yanesen district where you can find ancient temples such as Yanesen’s Nezu Shrine, Meiji Jingu, and the city’s oldest temple – Senso-ji.
Tokyo is also renowned for its many lush gardens and parks, such as Ueno Onshi Park, Yoyogi Park and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. In the spring, cherry blossoms paint these parks with pink hues, and in the autumn, in oranges and ochres.
Foodies will love Japan’s unique and delicious cuisine. Be sure to try the many variations of ramen the city has to offer, two of the more popular being miso (fermented soybean paste) ramen, and shoyu (soy sauce) ramen. After your dinner, be sure to enjoy daifuku mochi - a traditional Japanese dessert made from sticky rice and filled with red bean paste.
