We will tell you about the "Haneda Airport Access Line" that will connect Haneda Airport and the city center. JR East is planning three routes for this new line... It has been revealed that the waterfront route that extends east is being adjusted to open in fiscal year 2031, and voices of welcome have been heard from people living along the line. "Access to Haneda Airport is likely to change significantly in fiscal year 2031." The Haneda Airport Access Line is planned to connect the airport and the city center with three routes, and the Higashiyamate route that connects to Tokyo Station is aimed at opening in fiscal year 2031, with full-scale construction work having been underway since June last year. And yesterday (24th), it was revealed that JR East is also adjusting the waterfront route to open in fiscal year 2031, the same as the Higashiyamate route. Around Shinkiba Station, which will be connected to Haneda Airport via the waterfront route, people have already been expressing their anticipation for its opening. "I think it will be very convenient. I often use Haneda, so if it's the shortest route, I think it would be great for people who have business trips early in the morning, so I really hope it's built." This man, who usually goes to the airport by taxi... "Taxi takes a long time on the highway, so I'm really grateful. It will be very convenient and improve." If the waterfront route opens, there will be no need to transfer from Haneda Airport to Odaiba, Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo Disney Resort, etc., and it will be easier to access various tourist spots in Tokyo from the airport. Q: Do you think it will be more convenient for tourists? "Yes, it will make travel more convenient, so I think it will be easier to plan trips." "I'm looking forward to it because it seems like it will be very convenient when friends come to visit Haneda Airport or Tokyo, or when we go to Disney." Currently, it takes about 40 minutes to get from Haneda Airport to Shinkiba Station, but with the opening of the new route, it will be about 20 minutes, which will be a significant reduction in time. ////// The following three routes are planned for the Haneda Airport Access Line. Let's take a look at what each route is like. First, there is the "Waterfront Route," which is currently being adjusted to open in 2031. This route will allow people to go directly from Haneda Airport to Odaiba, Tokyo Big Sight, and even Tokyo Disney Resort, so people coming to the airport from overseas or the countryside will be able to go to these tourist spots without having to transfer. The second route is the "Higashiyamate Route," which is already under construction and is scheduled to open in 2031, just like the waterfront route. In addition to improving access to popular tourist spots such as Akihabara and Ueno, it will also connect to Tokyo Station, making it an efficient way of travel for people who use both airplanes and the Shinkansen. And the third route is the "Nishiyamate Route." It will connect to Shibuya and Shinjuku, Tokyo's leading downtown areas, and a direct connection to the Chuo Line heading west is also being considered for future consideration, so there is a possibility that access to the airport from the Tama area will be improved. The opening date for the Nishiyamate route has yet to be decided, but with the opening of the Waterfront Route and Higashiyamate Route in 2031, access to air travel within Tokyo is likely to become even more convenient.
