Which Tokyo airport HND or NRT?

[castaway562]

Which airport is closest to the port in Yokohama?  Does Celebrity offer transfers to both airports?  Cost of these transfers?   What would a taxi cost to each airport?   Are there shuttles from the port to both airports? Cost?

 

Thanks in advance for your responses

If you use the search function at the top of this page, you will discover that these subjects have already been discussed in great detail on these pages. You will also discover that most of your answers are already answered.

 

But “What would a taxi cost to each airport?”, cannot be answered here because you have not told us there you plan to get into the taxi; a hotel?, Tokyo?, Yokohama?, another airport?, one of the three cruise terminals in the Tokyo area?, a Shinkansen station?

 

If you use an app like Rome2Rio, you can enter the starting and ending points of nearly any planned itinerary, nearly anywhere on Earth. The app will give you most or all alternatives, times, and costs.

Narita has more international flights, while Haneda is usually for domestic flights. But Haneda is nearer to Yokohama.

 

I just checked a Japan voyage on Celebrity Solstice in March 2022. Haneda transfer is $50.95 per person per way, and Narita transfer is $75.95 per person per way.

Narita still has more international flights, and Haneda WAS usually for domestic flights. But Haneda was renovated last year and an additional runway and a new international terminal were added. Now Haneda handles about 50% international and 50% domestic flights. Since the first of the year, the Tokyo Government has allowed flights to and from Haneda to fly directly over central Tokyo. 

As much as I like Narita, Haneda is now the more desirable airport. The Tokyo monorail makes it easy, fast, and inexpensive (450 yen / 20 minutes) to get to and from Tokyo - versus Narita Express train (3400 yen / 60 minutes). And the new restaurants at Haneda are generally better than Narita.

The new Tokyo International Cruise Terminal is located just South of Haneda, making it very convenient.

I  find Wikitravel.org typically has very good and relatively up to date info on the various options and respective price estimates on how to get into the core from a city's local airports.

There are also airport buses available from Narita direct to the Grand Hotel in Yokohama which is very close to the port.   But it will depend on timing and it will be a long ride from Narita.  
 

However, I would fly into Haneda if possible as it is much closer. No matter which plan to arrive at least a day or two earlier than your cruise.   There is so much to see in both Tokyo and Yokohama.

It might help to know what you plan to do before giving advice and which airport and hotel.  

 

Is this your first trip and do you plan to spend  pre or post cruise time in Tokyo rather than Yokohama?

 

You can check on the price of the transfers from either airport to Yokohama on the Celebrity website under travel or under the excursions under manage my booking.   The cost on Holland American from Haneda to the cruise port is $39 per person.  They have buses from either Narita or Haneda to Yokohama that are very reasonable and then you can take a taxi to the cruise port.  Check youtube, there are a number of videos on taking the bus from either airport to Yokohama.
