See the sights like a pro with the Monorail and Yamanote Line Discount Ticket!
The Tokyo Monorail is the most efficient way to get from Haneda Airport to the Tokyo city center. You have 13 minutes to enjoy the panoramic view from the windows of its above-street-level track as you make your way to Hamamatsucho Station (to transfer to the JR Yamanote Line). Once again in collaboration with Tokyo Monorail, we’d like to introduce you to a rather wonderful spot: The National Museum of Western Art, which was just recently registered as a World Heritage Site in July 2016.
The museum’s main building was designed by Le Corbusier, France’s master of modern architecture. Located in Ueno, Tokyo, The National Museum of Western Art was registered as a World Heritage Site in July, 2016 along with 17 of his other buildings. This was the first time a "site" that stretched across continents was registered and, as you can imagine, the announcement was one that excited many. Naturally, many tourists have now added the museum to their must-see lists, and its popularity has since seen a sharp increase.
It isn't just the museum building that is worth taking note of, however, there are many treasures being displayed inside of it as well! Countless masterpieces dating from the Renaissance period to the early 20th century can be found adorning the inner walls. The museum houses 10 of Monet's works alone! And the admission fee for the permanent collection is only a mere 430 yen for adults. The National Museum of Western Art is so high on our recommendations list that we urge you to head to Ueno as soon as you arrive at Haneda!
Getting to Ueno from Haneda Airport is a breeze if you take the Tokyo Monorail! The economical Monorail and Yamanote Line Discount Ticket can be used on weekends and holidays. This discount ticket will get you from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho Station via the Tokyo Monorail, and then to your desired stop on the JR Yamanote Line for only 500 yen (250 yen for children). It costs 490 yen to get from the Haneda Airport International Terminal Station to Hamamatsucho Station under regular circumstances. This is already almost equivalent to the price of a Monorail and Yamanote Line Discount Ticket, which makes the cost of getting to your desired Yamanote Line station a true bargain.
※Please keep in mind this ticket is only valid for a single one-way trip from Haneda Airport.
