AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals 1 and 2 are linked by a short indoor walkway (5-8 minutes), while Terminal 3 is connected to both via a free shuttle bus that takes about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic, or via the Tokyo Monorail/Keikyu line one stop away. International arrivals must clear immigration and customs in Terminal 3 before any onward domestic connection, effectively re-entering the sterile zone.
