Arriving at the airport is easy — it's the last mile that defeats travellers. Your Tokyo hotel is often tucked into a narrow street the map app can't resolve. Here's the reliable way to get from the airport to your Tokyo hotel, and how photo directions cover the final stretch.
From NRT Narita: Skyliner to Nippori (~41 min) or Narita Express to Tokyo Station (~60 min). From HND Haneda: Keikyu line to Shinagawa (~13 min) or Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho (~16 min). Save an imhere route from the station for the final walk through the lanes.
Start from a station exit. The photos show the shrine gate, the vending machines, the corner store - the small landmarks that keep you oriented. In the yokocho (alley) bars, the photo of the entrance sign tells you which lantern to follow.
In Tokyo, streets in the old town are often unlabelled or the pins drift. Instead of trusting a blue dot, follow photographed landmarks: a red door, a bakery corner, a distinctive sign. Each step compares what you see with a real photo, so there is no guessing.
Open the imhere route at your pickup point once, and it stays usable offline — no roaming, no data plan needed. Build the route from your hotel or station, then share it with every arriving guest via a QR code.
