A Legacy of Cleanliness
Tokyo Haneda Airport has achieved a remarkable milestone, being awarded the title of World's Cleanest Airport in the Major Airport Category by Skytrax
for the tenth time in 2026. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the airport's unwavering commitment to maintaining superior hygiene standards. The evaluation process involved extensive customer surveys conducted between August 2025 and February 2026, reflecting the genuine experiences of millions of travelers.

Its enduring success highlights a dedication to excellence that has cemented its reputation among international air travelers.
Beyond Expectations
Haneda Airport transcends the typical airport experience, offering a plethora of amenities designed to delight passengers, whether they have a brief layover or an extended stay. Terminal 3, the international hub, features 'Edo Ko-ji,' a meticulously recreated Edo-era street that evokes a historical ambiance, complete with authentic Japanese eateries serving delights like handmade soba and grilled yakitori. Travelers can also find an array of shops offering beautifully packaged souvenirs, local sweets, traditional washi paper, and artisanal ceramics. For those seeking rest, the airport provides comfortable lodging options, including the Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu and the Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport, part of the recent Haneda Airport Garden complex, which offers hospitality comparable to that found in Tokyo's prime districts.
Unique Relaxation Hub
One of Haneda Airport's most extraordinary features is its on-site hot spring bath, the 'Izumi Tenku no Yu Onsen.' Integrated into the Haneda Airport Garden development, this facility allows travelers to rejuvenate in mineral-rich indoor and outdoor baths, complete with sauna rooms and serene relaxation lounges. The experience is further enhanced by breathtaking views of aircraft gracefully taking off against the backdrop of the Tokyo skyline, offering a unique blend of tranquility and airport dynamism. This distinctive amenity underscores Haneda's commitment to providing an enriching and memorable journey for all its passengers, setting it apart from conventional airport offerings worldwide.
Global Recognition
Haneda Airport stands as a titan in global aviation, serving as Japan's busiest airport and the third busiest worldwide, processing approximately 78 million passengers annually. Its consistent performance in cleanliness rankings is mirrored by other leading international airports.
