The entire journey from Haneda typically runs 65–85 minutes door-to-gate. Book your timed-entry slot first — reservations open 18 September 2026 — then make a separate booking for the shuttle bus or venue parking. ## The Access Picture: One Journey, Two Legs GREEN EXPO 2027 access from Tokyo and Haneda follows the same pattern regardless of where you start: first reach a transport hub, then take a shuttle bus to the venue. First, you travel to a base — Shin-Yokohama, Yokohama Station, or somewhere along the Sotetsu line. Second, you take a shuttle bus from one of the confirmed access stations to the venue at the former Kamiseya Communications Facility, about 2 km west of Seya Station on the Sotetsu Main Line. *Some links in this guide are affiliate links. If you book through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.* There is no train line running to the venue itself. The expo site occupies roughly 100 hectares on the former Kamiseya US military communications facility — large, purpose-built, and with no existing rail access. Shuttle buses from the four confirmed hub stations are the last leg. As announced on 17 July 2026 by the expo association, the confirmed shuttle stations are **Seya** (Sotetsu Main Line, \~2 km to venue), **Mitsukyo** (Sotetsu Main Line, \~4 km), **Tokaichiba** (JR Yokohama Line, \~6 km), and **Minami-machida Grandberry Park** (Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, \~4 km). Direct buses from Yokohama Station, Shin-Yokohama, and other major terminals are under consideration; we will update this guide when an official announcement is made.

Train frequency and exact journey times vary by service; check current schedules on Hyperdia or Google Maps before travel.* ## From Haneda Airport Haneda is your best airport for this trip. The simplest route to Shin-Yokohama is the direct Keikyu Bus limousine (from ¥1,200, about 35 minutes — no transfer, bags stay with you). Alternatively, take the Keikyu Airport Line to Yokohama Station (\~30 min, from ¥397 IC) and continue on the Sotetsu Main Line to Seya (\~25–30 min) or the Blue Line to Shin-Yokohama (\~15 min). The fastest option is Keikyu to Shinagawa (\~15 min) then Shinkansen to Shin-Yokohama (\~9 min), though it costs more. ## From Tokyo Station and Shinagawa From central Tokyo, the Tokaido Shinkansen reaches Shin-Yokohama in about 17 minutes (Tokyo Station) or 9 minutes (Shinagawa). Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama all stop at Shin-Yokohama; JR Pass holders use Hikari or Kodama. If your hotel is station-connected — the [Courtyard by Marriott Shin-Yokohama Station](https://www.agoda.com/city/yokohama-jp.html?cid=1968926&tag=green-expo-2027-access-tokyo-haneda&ref=nipponstays.com) (reopening December 2026, formerly Hotel Associa) sits directly above the Shinkansen concourse — the combination is exceptionally convenient. See our [Shin-Yokohama hotels guide](https://www.nipponstays.com/shin-yokohama-hotels-green-expo-2027/) for the full picture. ## From Narita Airport Narita is the longer journey. The Narita Express (N'EX) runs direct to Yokohama Station in about 90 minutes (¥4,480; free with JR Pass, reserve at the airport). Some N'EX services terminate at Tokyo Station — if yours does, continue by Shinkansen to Shin-Yokohama (17 min, additional fare). Budget buses from Narita exist (from ¥1,000) but add 90+ minutes in traffic, which rarely makes sense on an expo day. ## The Last Leg: Getting to the Venue From whichever base you choose, the final step is a shuttle bus to the venue at the former Kamiseya site. Four hub stations are confirmed for shuttle access (announced 17 July 2026 by the expo association). Shuttle buses require advance reservation — booking opens on 18 September 2026, the same day as timed-entry ticket reservations, but through a separate system. Book your entry slot first, then your shuttle. - **Seya Station (Sotetsu Main Line):** The closest station to the venue — roughly 2 km away, approximately 10 minutes by shuttle. Seya is about 25–30 minutes from Yokohama Station on the Sotetsu, or around 5–10 minutes from Nishiya (a key connection point on the Sotetsu–Shin-Yokohama Line). - **Mitsukyo Station (Sotetsu Main Line):** Approximately 4 km from the venue, around 15 minutes by shuttle. Also on the Sotetsu Main Line, one stop from Seya toward Yokohama. - **Tokaichiba Station (JR Yokohama Line):** Approximately 6 km from the venue, around 20–25 minutes by shuttle. Reachable from Shin-Yokohama Station by JR Yokohama Line (approximately 3–4 stops south). Useful for those coming from the Shin-Yokohama or Tokyo direction without needing to transfer to the Sotetsu. - **Minami-machida Grandberry Park Station (Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line):** Approximately 4 km from the venue, around 15 minutes by shuttle. The confirmed shuttle hub for visitors using the Tokyu corridor — including those traveling from Shibuya or Meguro via the Sotetsu–Tokyu through-service, and families based in Machida. Shuttle fare (one way, as of the July 2026 announcement): **¥200 for adults, ¥100 for children** (ages 1–11). A disability discount applies: ¥100 for adults, ¥50 for children. You must reserve both your outbound and return shuttle trips separately. On peak days the four shuttle stations are expected to carry around 44,000 passengers — roughly 42% of total daily attendance — so reservations will fill up. Book as soon as the reservation window opens on 18 September 2026. For visitors based in Machida, the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line connects directly to Minami-machida Grandberry Park — no transfer needed. See our [Machida hotels guide](https://www.nipponstays.com/machida-hotels-families-green-expo-2027/) for details. Direct buses from Yokohama Station, Shin-Yokohama, and other major terminals are under consideration; we will update this guide when confirmed. ## Getting There by Car Driving is possible but not recommended as a first choice. Seya ward has many narrow local streets, and the roads feeding into the venue will congest on busy expo days even if the Yokohama Shindo expressway moves freely. The Yokohama-Machida IC on the Tomei Expressway is the expected approach from the Tokyo direction; the expo association will publish recommended routes and set up directional signage. Two venue car parks (north side and west side, \~6,200 spaces combined) require advance reservation opening 18 September 2026\. Fees (as announced 17 July 2026): weekday ¥5,000; weekend, public holiday, or busy period ¥7,000\. Busy periods are Golden Week and the weekend/holiday dates in September — 19 days in total. With \~32,000 car visitors expected on peak days, spaces will fill quickly. For busy periods, a park-and-ride option is available at ¥3,000 per car (shuttle to venue included): Sagami-Ono Multi-Level Car Park (\~8 km), Aeon Mall Yamato, and Ito-Yokado Yamato Tsuruma (\~4 km each), around 700 spaces total. This is the more affordable and less stressful driving option during peak periods. ## Which Base Makes Your Access Easiest For most international visitors arriving at Haneda or via Shinkansen, Shin-Yokohama is the practical first choice: the direct Keikyu Bus limousine from Haneda arrives there, the Shinkansen delivers you in 17 minutes from Tokyo. From Shin-Yokohama, reach the shuttle by taking the JR Yokohama Line to Tokaichiba (3–4 stops, confirmed hub) or connecting via the Sotetsu to Seya (closest hub, \~2 km from venue). If you're flying into Narita, route to Yokohama Station first via N'EX, then forward to Shin-Yokohama or directly onto the Sotetsu toward Seya. If you want to combine the expo with Tokyo sightseeing, staying in Shibuya or Meguro is realistic: the Sotetsu–Tokyu through-service runs direct from Shin-Yokohama to central Tokyo, and from Shibuya the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line takes you straight to Minami-machida Grandberry Park (confirmed shuttle hub). For the full hotel comparison across all bases, see the [GREEN×EXPO 2027 accommodation guide](https://www.nipponstays.com/where-to-stay-green-expo-2027/). The [venue access deep-dive](https://www.nipponstays.com/green-expo-2027-venue-kamiseya-access/) covers the last mile in more detail. A newer, budget-minded option in the same Tokyu corridor is Oimachi — one stop (about 3 minutes) south of Shinagawa on the Keihin-Tohoku Line, so you keep an easy Shinkansen and Haneda connection without paying central-Tokyo rates. **Hotel Metropolitan Oimachi Tracks** opened in March 2026 directly above the station. For the venue, Oimachi is on the Tokyu Oimachi Line: ride to Ookayama, change to the Meguro Line, and you join the same Sotetsu–Tokyu through-service that feeds the venue's Sotetsu shuttle hubs, with Seya the closest. One practical note for JR Pass holders — the station's TRACKS exit is IC-card only, so use the standard staffed gates when you arrive or leave.

Timed-entry ticket reservations open on 18 September 2026 (six months before opening day). Shuttle bus and venue parking reservations open on the same date through separate systems — book your entry slot first, then your transport. Open tickets (non-timed) went on sale in March 2026; adult one-day ticket from ¥4,900\.

As announced by the expo association on 17 July 2026, both shuttle buses and venue car parks require advance reservation. The booking window opens on 18 September 2026 — the same date as timed-entry ticket reservations. Shuttle reservations and entry ticket reservations are handled through separate systems: secure your entry slot first, then book your shuttle or parking. The four shuttle stations are expected to carry around 44,000 passengers on peak days, so book as early as possible once the window opens. ### Can I walk from the nearest train station to the venue? Seya Station is approximately 2 km from the venue entrance. This distance may be walkable in mild weather but a shuttle bus is the expected main access route and costs only ¥200 for adults. Walk-route details had not been officially confirmed as of July 2026. ### Is there direct access from Haneda to the venue? No direct service to the venue itself. The confirmed approach is: Haneda → Yokohama or Shin-Yokohama by train or bus → onward to one of the four shuttle hub stations (Seya, Mitsukyo, Tokaichiba, or Minami-machida Grandberry Park) → shuttle bus to the venue. Direct buses from major terminals including Yokohama Station and Shin-Yokohama are under consideration; we will update this guide when confirmed. ### How long is the total journey from Haneda to the venue? Haneda to Seya via Keikyu + Sotetsu takes roughly 55–70 minutes. Add 10 minutes for the shuttle bus. Allow 90 minutes from Haneda door-to-venue-gate to be safe, more on busy expo days. Remember to factor in time for entry ticket scanning and any queuing at the shuttle stop. ### What about IC cards? Suica and PASMO work on Keikyu, Sotetsu, JR, and Yokohama Municipal Subway lines. Whether IC cards will be accepted on expo shuttle buses had not been confirmed as of July 2026; check before travel. Shuttle fares (¥200 adult / ¥100 child one way) require a pre-paid advance reservation regardless. --- **Information audit:* Last fact-checked July 2026 · Transport and parking fees reflect the expo association's announcement of 17 July 2026 · Prices checked July 2026 (train fares are approximate; shuttle and parking fees are confirmed by the expo association and subject to change) · *How this guide was researched:* access routes and transit details are verified against official and primary sources; we have not personally tested every route.
