How to get to Shinjuku Granbell Hotel from Haneda and Narita airports
From Haneda (HND): take the Airport Limousine Bus to Shinjuku Station (Busta/Shinjuku West Exit) or use trains via Keikyu + Toei/Metro lines to Higashi-Shinjuku or Shinjuku; the bus is the simpler door-to-door option. From Narita (NRT): the fastest direct rail is the JR Narita Express to Shinjuku Station, or use the Narita–Shinjuku limousine bus; for a cheaper rail route take Keisei to Nippori, then JR Yamanote to Shinjuku.

Getting from Haneda Airport (HND) — Limousine Bus (recommended for luggage)
An Airport Limousine Bus operates between Haneda Airport and Shinjuku (Busta/Shinjuku Station West Exit). This is a straightforward option if you have luggage and prefer a single-seat ride to central Shinjuku.
From the bus stop at Shinjuku Station West Exit, you can walk or take a short taxi ride to Shinjuku Granbell Hotel in Kabukicho.
- Typical journey time (Haneda to Shinjuku): about 35 minutes (subject to traffic).
- Official limousine-bus fare information lists one-way fares (varies by schedule); check the operator for current fares and schedules.
- Bus stops at Shinjuku (Busta/Shinjuku West Exit); from there the hotel is a short taxi or subway ride to Higashi-Shinjuku or a 15-minute walk through Kabukicho to reach 2-14-5 Kabuki-cho.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| At Haneda | Buy a limousine-bus ticket at the airport counter or machine; board the bus to Shinjuku (Busta/Shinjuku West Exit). |
| At Shinjuku | Walk or taxi from Shinjuku West Exit to Kabukicho (approx. 15 minutes on foot), or take a short subway/taxi to Higashi-Shinjuku and walk ~4 minutes to the hotel. |
| Notes | Journey time ~35 minutes; traffic can increase travel time. |
Getting from Haneda Airport (HND) — by train (faster off-peak, involves transfers)
Train routes from Haneda typically use Keikyu Line to central Tokyo and transfer to Toei or Tokyo Metro lines to reach Shinjuku area stations. You can aim for Higashi-Shinjuku (Fukutoshin or Oedo lines) for the shortest walk to the hotel.
This route requires at least one transfer; trains are frequent and predictable compared with road traffic, but will be less convenient with many large suitcases.
- Common pattern: Keikyu Airport Line → connect to Toei/Oedo or Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin via transfers (specific route depends on final train choices).
- Arrive at Higashi-Shinjuku for a roughly 4-minute walk to the hotel, or at Shinjuku Station and walk about 15 minutes through Kabukicho.
- Use train route planners (station maps, Google Maps, or local apps) to pick the connections that minimize transfers for your schedule.
| From | To (closest station to hotel) | On-foot time to hotel |
|---|---|---|
| HND by train | Higashi-Shinjuku Station | About 4 minutes |
| HND by train | Shinjuku Station (West Exit) | About 15 minutes |
Getting from Narita Airport (NRT) — Narita Express (fastest direct rail)
The JR Narita Express (N'EX) runs direct to Shinjuku Station and is the fastest rail option from Narita to Shinjuku. Journey time is about 60 minutes; fares and exact journey times are published by JR and third-party guides.
From Shinjuku Station you can walk through Kabukicho (roughly 15 minutes) to reach Shinjuku Granbell Hotel or take a short taxi or subway to Higashi-Shinjuku for a ~4-minute walk.
- Typical travel time (NEX to Shinjuku): about 60 minutes.
- NEX arrives at Shinjuku Station; follow signs to the West Exit/Busta or take a taxi onward to Kabukicho.

| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| At Narita | Buy N'EX ticket or use JR pass where applicable; board Narita Express to Shinjuku. |
| At Shinjuku | Walk through Kabukicho (~15 minutes) or taxi to 2-14-5 Kabuki-cho; option: short subway/taxi to Higashi-Shinjuku and 4-minute walk. |

Getting from Narita Airport (NRT) — Limousine Bus or cheaper Keisei/JR option
Limousine buses also operate between Narita Airport and Shinjuku; they offer a direct airport-to-Shinjuku ride without transfers and typically take about 105 minutes depending on traffic.
If you prefer a cheaper rail option, ride Keisei Main Line to Nippori (around 75 minutes) and transfer to the JR Yamanote Line to Shinjuku — this is usually the lowest-cost rail route.
- Limousine bus: direct Narita → Shinjuku, typical time ~105 minutes; fares vary by schedule and season.
- Cheaper rail: Keisei Main Line to Nippori (≈75 min, ¥1,060) then JR Yamanote Line to Shinjuku (≈20 min, ¥260) — total time depends on connections.
- Choose the bus for luggage convenience and fewer transfers; choose the Keisei route to save money at the cost of longer travel and transfers.
| Option | Approx. time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Limousine bus (Narita → Shinjuku) | ≈105 minutes | Direct, convenient with luggage; subject to traffic |
| Keisei to Nippori + JR Yamanote | ≈95–120 minutes depending on connections | Cheaper rail route with one transfer at Nippori |
Final walk/taxi directions to Shinjuku Granbell Hotel and local tips

If you arrive late or have heavy bags, a short taxi from Shinjuku Station or the bus stop to the hotel’s address is a practical choice; taxis are widely available at the station exits.

Practical travel tips and things to check before you go
Check train and bus schedules on the day of travel — Haneda and Narita services run frequently but times and fares change seasonally. For Narita Express and limousine-bus fares and timetables, consult the operators' official pages.
If you have early- or late-night flights, confirm whether your chosen transport runs at that hour; limousine-bus schedules and last trains vary by time of day.
- Keep your passport/ID and a payment method handy — some train tickets and bus counters accept cash and cards, but small machines or local services may be cash-only.
- If you want breakfast after arrival, restaurant G offers a paid Japanese & Western buffet (not included with standard room rates).
- If you have accessibility needs or oversized luggage, consider taking a taxi from the station or bus stop directly to the hotel entrance.

| Bus/train schedule & fares | Times/fare info change by season and operator |
