Share Your Airport Diaries - Tokyo Haneda Airport

In continuation with the amazing series by @Pratik_89 and taking inspiration from @TonyAlexander 's airport diaries post, I share some of the glimpses and unique objects and scenes at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.

The other major airport in Tokyo is the Narita International Airport and I did not choose to land there on arrival since Google Maps showed it was a bit far off.

Nevertheless, it turned out that the connectivity with Tokyo city center was equally good.

Of all things, the Tokyo Souvenir Shop stood out since it had on offer the signature Japanese cultural and modern objects and toys to be purchased before leaving Japan.

Another amazing object was this masterpiece, an eye-catching clock with shining chrome plating all over it.

A unique thing found everywhere in Japan is a GACHA toy vending machine.

Most toys were priced at Yen 400 and the operating instructions were written clearly on them.

Finally, here is a scale model of the Tokyo city in a glass frame where one can have a bird’s eye view of the entire urban conglomerate.

Those show the city well can easily spot their home/office or any major building or space in this model.

A nice place to kill time while waiting for the flight.

As if Japan was not enough of surprises all while, the various objects exhibited at the Haneda airport give last-minute entertainment to visitors.

Wonderful post @TusharSuradkar and thank you for tagging me. The capsule toys are a big hit for tourists and locals alike. I have to wear a hat then look left and right first before cranking the toy machine; don’t want people snickering at me while I am in capsule toy heaven.

Another charm of Haneda is that you can purchase fresh sea urchins that are flown in daily from Hokkaido. If you recall in a previous post, I worked at Haneda during the Tokyo Olympics so enjoyed learning about this airport.

Great job with the photos and detailed instructions. I agree with everything about having better access to Tokyo.
