Airport change at Tokyo transit (NRT to HND)

Hello!

I'm planning to tate a trip that includes a 4 hours transit in Tokyo, the thing is that I'd have to change airport, from Narita to Haneda. Is 4 hours enough time for that? go through customs, check in, move and everything? or should I better consider another flight option?

Pleases help me!

Thanks

San Diego...

I would consider another flight option.

Consider another flight. NRT-HND is a bad transfer. No sane person should do it.

There is a direct Limo Bus between the airports. You should have a longer timeframe for your connection.

Published minimum connection time between the 2 airports is 180 minutes for domestic <-> international, 210 minutes if both flights are international.

Theoretically possible and protected if both flights on the same ticket. But as mentioned no sane person would do it.

Just about wherever you fly, you should avoid an airport transfer connection. It introduces uncertainty, stress and costs time and money.

If it's 8 hours it may be worth it (you can see some sights in Tokyo) but with 4 hours it is no fun. You spend 2000 to 3000 yen for the transfer, and you have to take your luggage. It's better than transferring between New York airports though...
