Arrival at Haneda

On my prior layovers, I used Tokyo Station or Ueno Station as my base of operations and traveled by train between Narita and Haneda. This time around, I tried something different; I took the airport limousine bus and used the Tokyo City Air Terminal (T-CAT) as my base.

Departing Singapore on Sunday night, I landed at Haneda early the next day. After clearing immigration, I took the 6.40am bus to T-CAT and arrived there around 7.20am. The bus terminal was quiet and mostly empty. I followed the signs for the left luggage counter and found that they opened at 8am. Crap. Should I wait? Hell no, not with Tokyo beckoning! Fortunately, I found lockers one level below. But, these lockers accepted coins only, and not Suica cards. There were larger 600 yen lockers and smaller 200 yen lockers. I did not have 600 yen on me. I did have 200 yen. I deposited 200 yen in the slot, opened it, and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that my bag could fit in there. I think the left luggage service would have cost 700 yen, so I saved some yen.
