PROFILE

Keikyu Corporation is one of the 15 major private railways in Japan. Serving as a link between central Tokyo and the southern metropolitan area, Keikyu plays a vital role in Tokyo’s public transportation system. Since its foundation in 1898, centering on the mainstay rail and bus transportation businesses, Keikyu and its Group companies have expanded their operations to include real estate, hotels, leisure services, and retailing, and are working to achieve prosperity far into the future.

Linking Shinagawa, which is expected to flourish as Tokyo’s gateway, with Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport), and Kawasaki, Yokohama, Yokosuka, Zushi, and the Miura district in Kanagawa Prefecture, the Keikyu’s railway network stretching 87 km serves an average of 1.21 million passengers a day. Shinagawa Station, Keikyu’s railway terminus, is only 12 minutes (by using the Airport Limited Express) from Haneda Airport and connects with the Tokaido Shinkansen, making it a key transportation hub.

Haneda Airport Domestic Terminal Station is directly connected to Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of Haneda Airport and plays a key role in providing convenient access to Haneda Airport. Keikyu Corporation opened a new station, Haneda Airport International Terminal Station, linked directly to the new international flight passenger terminal building in line with the repositioning of Haneda as a full-fledged international airport in October 2010. The Keikyu Group will continue to channel its resources to Haneda Airport-related projects in the future.
