Late arrival?

Haneda has later domestic and international arrivals than Narita. The Keikyu Line runs until ~midnight, and taxi to Shinjuku is ¥6,000–8,000 (30 min). Affordable backup if you land late.

Haneda to Shinjuku is short enough that a taxi split 2 ways (¥3,000–4,000 per person) is worth considering if you have heavy luggage and arrive tired. The ride is scenic at night.
