What is the Haneda Airport Garden Bus Terminal?

Haneda Airport Terminal 3 is the closest international terminal to Tokyo.
The Haneda Airport Garden Bus Terminal opened there in March 2023.

Terminal 3 is expected to become an important spot connecting Japan and the rest of the world, with the goal of 24-hour international arrivals and departures in the future.
