Haneda Airport, three decks and four runways

Every terminal has a free observation deck, and the wind decides which runways the planes use. Here's what I'd show you.

What I point out on the way

Sho, your guide

I spent nine years in Brisbane, from junior high to the end of university, and I guide in English or Japanese. I check our food stops with each shop before the day.

Mt Fuji viewpoints
Sho's note

Mt Fuji viewpoints

The government's airport office lists the Terminal 1 6th-floor and rooftop decks and the Terminal 3 deck as places to look for Mt Fuji. Clear, cool mornings are best.

Terminal 2
Sho's note

Terminal 2

The 5th-floor deck is open 6:30 am to 10 pm. FLIGHT DECK TOKYO, the indoor viewing floor on the same level, is open 5 am to 11 pm.

Edo Koji
Sho's note

Edo Koji

A street in Terminal 3 built to look like old Edo, with Japanese restaurants and shops. The terminal never closes, but each shop keeps its own hours.

Haneda has four runways and runs 24 hours. With a south wind all four are in use, and with a north wind three. Either way, up to 80 take-offs and landings an hour are possible.

The airport opened as Tokyo Airport in 1931. The D runway and today's Terminal 3 opened on 21 October 2010.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can we see Mt Fuji?

Sometimes. Clear, cool days are best, especially in the morning, from Terminal 1 or Terminal 3.

Are the hangar tours in English?

The English page for the ANA Blue Base Tour says it's guided in Japanese only. For the ANA Blue Hangar Tour and JAL SKY MUSEUM, English guiding isn't confirmed, so check when you book.

Which runway will we see?

It depends on the wind on the day, so I'll explain it on the deck rather than promise it in advance.
