1.  Arrive in Tokyo

Flight from YYZ lands at HND on Tue Aug 8 at 15:35 PM

Usually takes about 30 mins to 1 hr to clear Japan Customs/Baggage.

Important:  We need to pickup a reloadable cash card for everybody before we take the train to Shinjuku because it will save us money every time we use it.

So we plan to take local transit to Shinjuku Stn from Haneda International airport.  Below is a sample route from Haneda to Shinjuku.  The trip takes approx 45 mins and costs 610 yen per person.
This information can be found on the Japanese travel website called hyperdia.com/en.

This information is from the Haneda Keikyu website.  They show the discounted fare when using IC card.

2.  Here is how to get to the Keikyu line at Haneda airport.

Note:  follow the instructions below except that we will buy a Pasmo card instead of buying a train ticket.

Sun Aug 13

Due to special request, we will return to Harajuku today.

1.  Yoyogi Park

Before we do that we will visit Yoyogi Park, the Meiji Shrine and if we are lucky see the Rockibilly Dancers practising their moves.  It is not too far from Shinjuku Southern Terrace to walk to Yoyogi Park, however you can take the train to Harajuku and you can enter Yoyogi Park from here too.

In Meiji Shrine, sometimes you can see Japanese wedding processions happening.

We can either walk to Yoyogi park or take the train.  If taking the train, we get off at Harajuku station.

3.  Shinjuku

Return to Shinjuku to go shopping at Uniqlo, BIC Camera, Takeshimaya.   We can walk back if not too hot, or take the train back from Harajuku.
