Slated to debut in Spring 2020, the Haneda Airport Garden is directly linked to the airport’s International Terminal.
The Haneda Airport Garden.
Just in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan‘s Haneda airport will be opening a new lifestyle commercial complex called the Haneda Airport Garden.
Built as a partnership with local real estate company Sumitomo Reality and Development (Sumitomo) and Haneda Airport Development, the complex will be home to two hotels, a hot spring zone, a shopping mall with about 90 stores, a bus terminal, as well as 2,400 square meters of event and meeting space.
Directly linked to the airport’s International Terminal, the mixed-used facility is about a minute’s walk from both the Haneda Airport International Terminal Station on the Keikyu Line, as well as Tokyo Monorail’s Haneda Airport International Building Station.
Here’s what travelers can look forward to:
The Villa Fontaine Premier Haneda Airport.
1. Two new airport hotels
The complex will comprise two new hotels, namely The Villa Fontaine Premier Haneda Airport and The Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport. The former comes with just 160 guest rooms, each boasting views of the Tamagawa River, along with a shower booth.
The latter is a 1,557-key property, featuring special accommodation categories including tatami-style rooms and dedicated lodgings for women.
