Hi all,
After reading multiple posts, I have yet to find a definite answer on how best to get from Haneda (domestic) to Narita (international).

Option1: $ additional cost involved
1. Exit Haneda airport and enter Haneda station (Keikyu line): purchase a ticket to Shinagawa (410 yen)
2. Travel to Shinagawa station (~20min)
3. Change platforms to Narita express line
4. Travel from Shinagawa to Narita int. station (t1) via Narita Express (> 1hr) - using JR Pass

Given that the Narita Express must be pre-booked, were does one book the Shinagawa-> Narita leg (for example, does one exit Shinagawa station and book at the station ticket office?)

Option2: nill cost (using JR Pass)
1. Exit Haneda airport and enter Haneda monorail station
2. Travel to Hamamatsucho monorail station (~6min) - using JR Pass
3. Change platforms/station to JR Yamanote line
4. Travel from Hamamatsucho station to Toyko station - using JR Pass
5. Change platforms to the Narita express line
6. Travel from Tokyo station to Narita int. station (t1) via Narita Express (> 1hr) - using JR Pass

Again, given that the Narita Express must be pre-booked, were does one book the Tokyo-> Narita leg.

There is some suggestion that reservations can be made online (https://www.eki-net.com/pc/jreast-shinkansen-reservation/English/wb/common/Menu/Menu.aspx) thou haven't checked/confirm if this is true/possible or how one can know ahead of time the time of reservation required/needed.

Any helpful comments are most appreciated.
Regards
Philip

Hi Philip,

You can make a seat reservation for the Narita Express at Haneda Airport (JR Ticket office). As this train is only for the airport, it has always available seats. With the JR Pass, this is the fastest and free option.

There are also paid shuttle buses between both airports, this may be the easiest way.

Kind regards,
Daniel
