24 HOURS IN TOKYO // What to do on a long Tokyo layover

[@nezbrun872]

At Haneda, I use the Royal Park Hotel in the T3 international terminal. It's on departures level, one floor up from arrivals, at the North end. Super quick to get to, a week or so ago it took me 25 minutes from aircraft doors opening at a remote stand, through immigration, baggage reclaim, hotel check in, and into the bedroom for a shower. The rooms are small, but that's common for Tokyo, but it's super convenient. Saves having to take a bus or organise travel. There's also lot to do in Haneda landside, but as most of it is open normal Japan hours, it's not great if you're on a very different timezone (I was -9 hours). There is a claimed 24 hour Ariso sushi joint on 4F departures, although IME it's closed between about 2am and 5:30am. Other than that you can get a beer and curry at Cafe Cardinal 24/7 a bout 10 yds away.

[@X_Hog]

By chance I found your channel. Brilliant! Love the filming. Tokyo looks amazing. I think it would do my head in trying to find my way around. Can't wait to see your other material!

"Flying standby" = regular traveler "Flying non-rev" = definitely in the airline fellow non-rever here. love the content! planning my next trip with a possible long layover also in Japan so definitely worth the watch

[@DyanK614]

Premium economy looked great! Glad you made the flight! Looking forward to the Thailand videos.

[@The3nthusiast]

OMG!! I am going to Thailand and I also have a lay over in Los Angeles with another 19 hour lay over in Tokyo!

[@rameshgullani178]

[@stud88100]

[@Timanator]

Thanks for the video! I cant believe you have not been to japan....

[@benjaminstuver3825]

Hahahahah. I’m kind of flying by the seat of my pants in Tokyo now! I came for some pointers on places to see

[@jaysengutierrez3614]

the moment i heard you say "non-rev" i knew one of you guys worked for an airline. fellow non-rever here. we've got it down to a science, but its always exciting/nerve wrecking to see if we get on the flight or not

[@RydNguyen]

Hi , Do you have to pick your luggage and check in again during layover?

[@Henzz7]

For an 8hr layover going to Thailand, do I need a visa to leave haneda airport in Tokyo?

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

That would definitely be something to look to official channels for. We wouldn't want to give you incorrect information here

[@klabkebash]

Do you have to go through immigration if you are transiting? Also do you have to show if you're vaccinated for COVID?

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

If you leave security, you have to go through immigration. We did not have to show any proof of vaccination at any point

[@klabkebash]

@@TheAwkwardTourists Planning a trip which requires a long long layover at HND and would like to leave the airport for a few hours and explore. Not all of us are 3X vaxxed, I read they want to show proof, or at least maybe they did.

[@moewandering]

I found your channel by accident . Must be nice to just pick a spot and be able to get on even if its standby. Im single incase you have any single friends lol. I have 9.5 hr layover in toyko in October. Trying to see what time permits to do

[@BoStark]

I walked that crossing too, lol.

[@salmanhussain7247]

Do US citizens need a visa for Japan? Im planning to take the flight that has the 24 hour layover

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

No, we did not need any sort of visa

[@marklacy3849]

Did you find Hello Kitty in Harajuku? Good ramen technique also!

[@bawatarun]

You missed about immigration. Is it easy to get outside ?

[@prmm1991]

i have 16 hours layover in tokyo , do you think it is worth exploring

[@keiram.2287]

Yours videos are always so great! I enjoy traveling with you through your videos ❤🎉 question: as a flight attendance, how do you get so much free time to travel? I see your not traveling for work. Just curious, maybe I can change my career 😂

[@libbyjett3471]

I have been to tokoyo . I remember when flying in to Tokyo ; my ears hurt really bad. So that part wasn’t fun

[@BoStark]

How can you have so much vacation, didn't think Americans had any vacation days.
