When going through immigration/checks, when you get your fingers scanned , let the staff know you are on a connecting flight. They might let you skip the queue. Great video, watched it during my flight. Easy.

Hola... Gracias por tu video. Esta excelentemente explicado todo el proceso. Lo has hecho sencillo e instructivo. Me ha sido de grandisima ayuda para darme tranquilidad en el proceso que describes. Estaba muy preocupada porque tengo solo dos horas para todo proposito hasta que salga mi avion a Itami desde terminal 2.... ahora estoy mucho mas tranquila. Eso si... a cruzar los dedos que el vuelo internacional no se atrase!! agradecida te saludo desde Argentina

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

thank you. Please enjoy Japan!

[@heloisez5235]

Hi Tom, according to the instruction given on Haneda web, there should be an area for security clearance next to domestic check in counters at T3 level 2. Have you seen it?

[@GdubForEFub]

This is so helpful! Thank you for showing where the domestic transfer is. I was concerned I would've have enough time between landing in Tokyo, customs, and flying out again.

[@stealth0x]

how long was your layover? I have the same concern too. I'm given 1.5 hrs to transfer from international flight to domestic flight. how long does immigration typically take? time for baggage claims, customs. etc.?

[@GdubForEFub]

@@stealth0x go to “visit japan web” to do all your custom and immigration registration ahead of time! They scan the QR codes and you go through. There may be a line to wait in but it moves quickly. I landed at 4:30 and had to catch a flight 3 hours later. When landing in terminal 3, you can utilize domestic flight transit counter up to 60 minutes prior to the departure time of your flight. I went through customs, picked up pocket Wi-Fi, dropped off my luggage at domestic transit and transferred to terminal 2 with more than enough of time to spare.

[@Enalivingindurango]

@@stealth0x Please Let me know how long it takes for you if your trip was ahead of me.I have the same concern with 1.5 hr layover

[@iraheinze6849]

Thank you so much for this video. This helps a lot . We are flying on Friday and weren't sure how the whole transfer situation would be, but it seems pretty straightforward. 😊

[@Andrew-sv6zq]

Pretty Awesome! I will be going to Japan for the first time in June. I will be passing through Haneda heading of to Osaka. So we will be making the transfer from the Intl. terminal to terminal 1. Thanks for showing this. It's been helpful.

[@ineisio8313]

I'm also going to Osaka from London in July, with British Airways but I'm so confused if I have to collect my suitcase in Tokyo or something? or will my suitcase go straight to Osaka?

[@miragenshin0709]

Hey there! Super useful video!! If I arrive from an international airport to Haneda at 5am, do you recommend booking a domestic flight that departs at 7:05am or 8:30am?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

こんにちは！ もしあなたが日本人なら、午前7:05をお勧めします！なぜなら日本人専用の入国レーンは混んでいないからです！

[@gixmgm]

Thank you for the video. This is what I've been looking for. I'll be arriving on 21 Nov 2023 at 9:50am in the morning. Do you know how long do the custom clearance normally take around this hour?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

It's not crowded at that time. I think it will take about 30 minutes including immigration inspection and customs declaration!

[@muomahchibueze1100]

Thank you I will be coming in 3weeks

[@abnerarguilla9588]

Very helpful video. We will be there in a month. We are arriving at 2pm. And our connection flight to Osaka is 4pm. Will this be enough time to go though customs and immigration? Thank you

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

Yes I think that's enough!

[@lies911]

The international flight i booked should arrive in Haneda at 09:50 and i wonder what domestic flight i should book to continue to Osaka. JAL seems to fly every hour at half past. From your video and comments it seems that getting through immigration, customs, etc and changing terminals to domestic works pretty fast and smoothly. I'm worried though that if i booked the flight to Osaka from 11:30 it still might not work out time wise. Would you say there would be enough time for the transfer and check-in or would be 12:30 a better choice? Also, thanks for the video, it was a great help. I'll probably watch it another couple times before my trip :)

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

We recommend the 12:30 flight! You can also take the 11:30 flight, but if your connection is short, your luggage may not be loaded all the way to Osaka, so we recommend the 12:30 flight!

[@user-jr3ef3zb7w]

Will be arriving at Haneda from Hawaii and spending the night at a Haneda airport hotel in Terminal 3. Have a JAL flight to Hakodate the next afternoon from Terminal 1. Can I use the Domestic Check-in counter that you describe in your video (outside the arrival lobby in Terminal 3) or do I need to take our luggage with us on the free bus from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1 when we depart Haneda the next day?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

I think you can leave your luggage at the transfer counter. However, the counter may be closed during part of the afternoon, so we recommend asking the staff for more information.

[@megalodon_attack]

Hi, thank you for the video! A question, do all international flight passengers need to claim baggage in Haneda? Since I booked a ticket from Jakarta to Osaka Itami with a layover in Tokyo Haneda for only 2 hours. I thought my baggages will be passed through to my final destination (Osaka Itami). With the disembarkment, immigration, and baggage claim process, do you think I can make it to the connecting flight to Osaka Itami?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

Hello. Your baggage information will be transmitted to Osaka Itami Airport. However, as customs inspection will be conducted at Haneda Airport, you will need to re-check your luggage at Haneda Airport. If you have a 2 hour layover, I think that's enough.

[@pashmaloo.traveler9305]

Hello, and Thanks for your informative video. I am planning to come to Japan in early March, I Will arrive at Haneda airport at 05:05 A.m. with an American Airlines flight. Would it be wise to book an ANA flight to Osaka at 07:15?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

Yes! I think so !

[@shdmd2118]

Hi , if I am flying Los Angeles to HND then to Osaka. I have to collect my checked bags I assume at Haneda can bags be checked in at the transfer counter to me next flight? I see many people carrying luggage on the free shuttle bus …

[@stealth0x]

Thanks for the video! I have 1 hrs 30 minutes to transfer from ANA international flight to ANA domestic flight. I'm worried that the immigration process will take long. Do you know typically how long it will take to clear immigration, collect luggage, and clear customs?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

If it is not a busy time, it will take about 30 minutes from the time you disembark to the time you complete customs inspection. If the immigration inspection is busy, it may take up to an hour.

[@ginnasanchez1418]

Hi, your video is super helpful. I will be arriving on a United flight from Washington, and then transferring to ANA for Iwakuni. So after I do immigration and customs, recheck my bags at the transfer counter and then take the bus to domestic flights? Is there any other way to get to terminal 2?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

That's right! Another means of transportation is the monorail. There is a fee for the monorail.

[@jpedroh]

Thank you so much! But do I need to take a ticket for the shuttle bus? I saw I need to get the free ticket at the information center... Also, I only have carry-on baggage, does I need to make the check-in at terminal 3?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

You do not need to have a ticket to take the shuttle bus on this route. In the domestic terminal, most check-in counters are unmanned, so if you are unsure, I recommend that you check in at the manned check-in counter in Terminal 3.

[@madlind5108]

Hi I have a flight with ANA arriving at 14:20 my connection is at 16:00. I will get off at terminal 2 and check my bags however do you think 1 hour and 40 minutes is enough to get through customs and immigration and board the connection? I also completed the Visit Japan form on the website and have the QR code (hopefully that cuts time). Thank you for the video 😊

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

Hello. I don't think there will be any problem with that layover time!

[@MegaRandom432]

Hi 👋🏽 I’m arriving at Haneda at five and my next flight to Osaka is at 7 . Will that be ok

[@angrymanatee4819]

I have two separate tickets (ANA/JAL). Travel from SFO-HND and HND-HKG with checked luggages. Do I have to go out of arrival area completely and re-check myself at JAL ticket counter @ departure or is there a transfer counter around where I pick up my luggages?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

In this case, the arrival lobby is not required. Regarding your luggage, we will first guide you to the baggage drop-off counter. If you are informed that you do not need to pick up your bag, please go to the transfer counter without going through immigration inspection.

[@angrymanatee4819]

@@JAPANTravelwithTom 🤝🤝🤝🤝

[@Mclawrence2000]

To just clarify the process, at which point do we go through customs? is it after the transfer counter?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

After the transfer counter! Disembarkation → Immigration → Baggage collection → Customs declaration → Transfer counter

[@chrisrojas4869]

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful for an upcoming trip where we will be travelling to Sapporo via Haneda. If it is less than one hour for the connection and we need to take our bags on the free shuttle bus. Where do we check in our bags in terminal 2 flying ANA?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

Thank you for watching the video. There is an automatic bag drop machine on the 3rd floor of Terminal 2. The location is on the way to the security checkpoint. There are a lot of them so I don't think you will get confused. There is also a manned counter where you can leave your luggage. Additionally, some international flights arriving at Haneda Airport may arrive at Terminal 2. In that case, there is no need to take the shuttle bus. Finally, layovers of less than an hour have a 70% chance of failure. If you can change your flight to Sapporo, I think you should do it! It would be nice if the layover time was 2 hours! !

[@chrisrojas4869]

Thank you for the advice and additional information. We will have one hour and 40 minutes for the connection but I was a little worried about how long it may take to transfer to the domestic flight. Unfortunately we cannot change the flight time so I’m hoping we fly into terminal 2. Thanks again for your help.

[@mrwewe123]

​@@JAPANTravelwithTomthx u for the video... To clarify.. if we have connecting flight from international to domestic.. First we have to go to immigration, take our luggage drop it in the transfer desk and go to domestic terminal?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

That's pretty much it！ All you have to do is go through immigration inspection, customs inspection, drop off your luggage at the transfer counter, and proceed to the domestic terminal！

[@matthewpham]

ANA has their Domestic Flight Transit Counter by Security Check D on the 2nd floor of Terminal 2.

[@JuneChristy66]

Do we take all of our check-in luggage to terminal 1? If so, where do we drop off check-in luggage before going through the security check point in terminal 1? Thank you!

[@shdmd2118]

I have same question actually. But I think you can re-check/ drop backs at the transfer counter

Hi, I will be flying out from Osaka to HND via JPL (10:30am) and transfer to AA to fly back to the US with a 70 min layover at 11:50am. Do you think this is enough time to make the connection flight? Do I have to pick up luggage, exit the terminal, go through security again at T3 and custom/immigration before boarding? What are the steps involved for transferring from domestic to international flight? Thank you.

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

There is no need to collect your luggage when transferring from a domestic flight to an international flight. However, you must follow the instructions of the staff in Osaka. A 70 minute layover is plenty of time!

[@dianan8863]

Thank you so much!

[@frangelicacailao5222]

Did you make it

[@epiworks]

So to use the domestic check in gate from terminal 3 only for 1 hour before the flight ?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

Does that mean you only have a 1 hour layover? In that situation, you may not be able to make a connection. You will need to change to a different flight or ask local airport staff for assistance.

[@user-pm3be1ud9h]

Hi. I have a question. I will be travelling from Osaka (JAL) to London (BA) transiting through Haneda. I have to go from terminal 1 to terminal 3 with a transit time of 2 hours. Do I need to bring my baggage on the bus or does it get checked through at Osaka?

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

There is no need to drop off your luggage in Osaka and pick it up at Haneda Airport. So you don't have to bring your luggage onto the bus! ! Pick up your luggage in London! Enjoy your next trip to Japan!

We recommend checking in at the transfer counter! Traveling to Terminals 1 and 2 with your luggage will be more tiring than you might imagine. Of course, you can also check in directly at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

After checking in your luggage at Terminal 3, you can go to Terminal 1 without any luggage.

[@Ella-bb6hg]

why do you need to collect your luggage and then check in again? isn't it usually you check in for both flights and just need to transfer at the connecting airport with your carry-on items? I think with ANA there's bus that takes you straight from the arrival to the connecting terminal without going through all that.

[@matthewpham]

All the research I’ve done suggests you must collect your luggage and re-check in. There is no airside transfer from T3 without having to go through immigration first.

[@JAPANTravelwithTom]

Under Japanese law, you must first declare at customs at the airport you enter Japan. Therefore, due to the structure of the airport, all passengers arriving at Terminal 3 must re-check their baggage. On ANA, some international flights arrive at Terminal 2 instead of Terminal 3. In that case, you're right.

[@Ella-bb6hg]

@@JAPANTravelwithTom i see, thank you for your help and reply. I guess i will find out soon when I travel to Osaka via a connecting flight in Tokyo.

The time you arrive at Terminal 3 is when immigration will be crowded. I think it takes more than 45 minutes on busy days. So I think it will take about an hour to go through customs! By the way, I don't think the customs office is crowded!
