Haneda’s Real Advantage: You’re Already Close to the City
Narita sits roughly an hour from central Tokyo; Haneda is a fraction of that — the monorail and Keikyu line put you at major hubs like Shinagawa or Hamamatsucho in around 15–30 minutes. That proximity changes the math on currency exchange: there’s very little reason to convert a large amount at the airport when competitive rates are only a short train ride away.

Our Recommendation: Even Less at the Airport
At Haneda, we’d suggest exchanging or withdrawing even less than you might elsewhere — around ¥3,000–5,000 is often enough to cover transport into the city and an initial meal. Handle the rest once you’ve reached central Tokyo, where rates are typically more competitive.

Don’t Forget Your SIM or eSIM
Terminal 3’s arrivals area also has SIM and eSIM counters near the currency exchange facilities, worth handling in the same stop.
