Travel to Tokyo - Ota - Visa Requirements

By air

Ota is home to Tokyo International Airport [1], also known as Haneda Airport. Haneda is the busiest airport in Asia but only handles domestic flights and a tiny number of flights to Seoul, South Korea and Shanghai, China.

The Keikyu Airport Line offers a quick connection from Haneda to Keikyu Kamata, with onward connections available to central Tokyo and Yokohama.

By train

The two main train stations in Ota are Kamata (JR Keihin/Tohoku, Tokyu Ikegami and Tokyu Tamagawa lines) and Keikyu Kamata (Keikyu Main Line and Keikyu Airport Line).

The eastern, predominantly industrial side of the ward is served by the Tokyo Monorail, which runs from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho Station in Minato Ward.
