Direct Bus From Haneda Airport to Futako-tamagawa Station

Direct Bus from Haneda Airport to Futako-Tamagawa Station

A direct Airport Limousine Bus runs every 60 minutes from all three Haneda terminals to Futako-Tamagawa Station, stopping outside the Rise complex. No transfers. The one-way fare is ¥1,200. Journey time is 60 to 80 minutes in normal traffic. Budget 90 to 120 minutes during weekday morning rush hour or holiday weekends.

The bus serves business travellers heading to the Rakuten headquarters and other offices in the Rise complex, plus Setagaya ward residents returning from trips. If you are staying near the Tama River or working in one of the office towers, this route saves you the multi-transfer rail slog. The rail alternative costs ¥760 and takes 55 to 70 minutes, but requires two changes: Keikyu Line to Shinagawa, JR Yamanote to Shibuya, then Tokyu Den-en-Toshi Line out. With luggage, take the bus.

What to Do at Futako-Tamagawa

Futako-Tamagawa Rise is a large shopping and dining complex with a riverfront terrace. The Tama River walkway offers a flat path for walking and cycling. On clear winter days you can see Mount Fuji from the riverbank. The Rakuten global headquarters campus is nearby, visible from the outside. No public tours are available.

If you are staying at a local hotel, the river walk is a quiet alternative to central Tokyo. The area is residential and upscale, not a nightlife district. Restaurants in the Rise complex close by 22:00 on weeknights. Plan accordingly.
