All Nippon Airways (ANA) operates daily flights from Tokyo to Wakkanai Airport, making it a stress-free option, especially when travelling with a bicycle. Cost: A one way ticket is about €200. Yes, it can feel expensive, but: Bicycle: Included as checked baggage. Great news!

I really enjoyed the flight, I highly recommend it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6963ef3f73ef6f7acce66c16/077d2f51-ec44-4423-9265-bf3db4f7b2c9/toyota-jpn-taxi-tokyo-japan-january-modern-car-ntp-city-street-358887879.webp Blog - Getting to Wakkanai from Tokyo with Your Bicycle - For a transfer from Narita Airport to Haneda Airport for one passenger with a bicycle box (140 × 70 × 30 cm), the following quote was provided in February  2026: Base fare: 27,900 JPY Meet service (driver waiting at the arrival gate with a name sign): 6,000 JPY Total amount: 33,700 JPY Optional service: English‑speaking driver: +5,000 JPY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6963ef3f73ef6f7acce66c16/f1b40f70-70f5-4d6c-b7a2-fba4e6beecf3/941fe3cf-9d3a-4690-bf24-b2ea4f9a5bfd_narita-international-airport-limousine-bus-transfers-large.webp Blog - Getting to Wakkanai from Tokyo with Your Bicycle - Before flying to Japan, I contacted the bus company and sent them the dimensions of my bike box. They confirmed in advance that it would be accepted and on the day everything went smoothly. I bought my ticket at the counter, as I was not sure exactly when I would reach the bus stop. When boarding, the Limousine Bus staff asked me to sign a non-responsibility form in case of damage, but they handled the bike box with exceptional care when putting it in the luggage hold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6963ef3f73ef6f7acce66c16/fca4862f-6591-4283-862f-4400b92dda11/Screenshot+2026-02-11+at+23.15.16.png Blog - Getting to Wakkanai from Tokyo with Your Bicycle - Another option!
