Boosting Haneda Airport as an Attraction

SNA Travel (Tokyo) — In the coming months, a major hotel and entertainment complex will open at Tokyo Haneda airport, helping it make a transition from being simply a transit point into an attraction all of its own.

Terminal 3 will be linked to the new complex, called Haneda Airport Garden, which will include two major hotels: the Villa Fontaine Grand and the higher-end Villa Fontaine Premier. Together, they will have more than 1,700 rooms available.

It will also contain a hot spring, a shopping mall, and dining options.

The approximately 90 shops and restaurants will be open to the general public, including people who are not using the airport.

As international travelers return to Japan, it is expected that the crowds will become roughly evenly divided between Japanese and foreigners.

Sumitomo Realty and Development is the firm behind the new construction.

Haneda Airport Garden will open in stages, starting in late December and becoming fully operational in January. It was initially scheduled to open in April 2020, but it was delayed in response to the Covid pandemic.
