Airport access

Direct limousine-bus access is available to both Haneda and Narita airports, along with rail alternatives through Hamamatsucho, Nippori, or Shinjuku. Travelers should still confirm current limousine-bus schedules before relying on a specific departure.

Why stay here

Choose Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Ikebukuro when the trip needs a large, service-heavy hotel beside one of northern Tokyo's major rail hubs. It is a stronger fit for dining choice, meetings, rail convenience, and airport-bus planning than for travelers seeking a small boutique stay or a quieter residential neighborhood.

Good to know

Ikebukuro Station is large, so exit choice matters. The Metropolitan Gate is closest when open, while the West Exit South is the simpler all-day reference point for first-time arrivals.
