Both journeys will take just 14 minutes and drop you at either Hamamatsucho Station – if you choose the monorail - or Keikyu Shinagawa Station – if you head underground.

There is a fixed-rate taxi fare into the city but you will also be asked to pay for any toll roads used.

We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Tokyo before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tokyo?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tokyo, here you come:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
