The Cheapest Option to Spend a Night at Haneda Airport’s International Terminal: The Bench

While Haneda Airport’s domestic terminal is closed after the last flight of the day, its international terminal (Terminal 3) is open 24/7. A couple of cafes and restaurants are also open throughout the day, so there is no need to worry about food options for the night. You can refer to the list HERE.

So, where are the best spots to find sofas where you can lie down for a nap?

  • At the Entrance Plaza (エントランスプラザ) on the 1st floor (the first two photos in the IG post)
    • The convenience store, Air Lawson is also located on this floor.
  • The Arrival Lobby on the 2nd floor
    • Shower rooms and cafes are also located on this floor (the 3rd and 4th photo in the IG post).
  • TOKYO POP TOWN on the 5th floor
    • While the shopping floor is lively during the day, the shops there are not open 24/7. Thus, it is probably the quietest part of Haneda Airport’s Terminal 3 at night.
    • The round sofa chair in front of PLANETARIUM Starry Cafe is the best.
    • The lighting underneath the wooden Haneda Nihonbashi (はねだ日本橋) is deemed and great for sleeping if you don’t have an eye mask (the last photo in the IG post).
