Can a Tokyo Subway Ticket take you to Haneda?
Only as far as Sengakuji on the Toei Asakusa route. The Keikyu leg to Haneda costs extra, and an actual QR ticket requires exiting at the boundary.

TRIP POCKET
Keep this page in your Trip Pocket, ready for the moment the signal fades.
A Haneda-bound train can run from the Toei Asakusa Line onto Keikyu, but the standalone Tokyo Subway Ticket does not cover the whole ride. Its coverage ends at Sengakuji. From there to the airport, arrange the Keikyu fare separately. Before boarding, identify the ticket format: it changes how to cross that boundary.
01
Check the ticket format before boarding
- An actual QR gate ticket requires you to leave the paid area at the connecting station before continuing on another operator with a separate ticket. For this journey, get off and exit at Sengakuji. In the reverse direction, exit the other operator’s paid area before entering with the QR ticket. A screenshot or printed copy is not valid for this QR gate ticket.
- If your purchase instructions say to exchange a QR voucher for a paper ticket, follow that exchange process. The voucher itself is not the QR gate ticket described above.
- With a paper or PASMO-loaded Tokyo Subway Ticket, show it to station staff before boarding and ask how to combine it with the Keikyu fare. Do not assume the QR procedure applies, or that every format permits staying aboard and paying at Haneda.
02
What the ticket covers
- The 24-, 48- and 72-hour Tokyo Subway Tickets cover Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway. Toei’s Asakusa Line is included; Keikyu beyond Sengakuji is not.
- Through-running explains why a train can keep going while the ticket’s coverage ends. Toei’s airport guide identifies the Haneda–Sengakuji section as Keikyu. Check the service’s actual destination and stops as well as the ticket.

04 · A WORKED EXAMPLE
Using a QR gate ticket from Asakusa
Suppose you hold an actual QR gate ticket and plan to leave Asakusa for Haneda. Build the journey as two legs with an exit at Sengakuji, even if the departure board shows a through train. Check the onward Keikyu journey before leaving Asakusa.
Allow time to leave the train, reach the gates and find the onward boarding point. This is a planning allowance, not a quoted transfer time. If stairs are difficult or luggage changes the walking time, ask staff for the gate route before committing to a departure.
05 · MAKE THE DECISION USEFUL
Check what the purchase actually includes
An airport name on a sales page can describe a place to buy a ticket or a separate bundle. Read the included journeys.
A standalone subway ticket
Keep the airport fare in the travel budget. When comparing the pass with individual fares, count the covered subway journeys you actually plan to make; do not count the Keikyu leg as a free ride.
An airport-access bundle
Tokyo Metro lists airport-access bundles separately. A bundle may add its own transport ticket, but it does not extend the subway portion’s coverage. Match the included operator, direction and redemption instructions to the trip before buying.
