Did a search on this but couldn't find any specific information.

I will be traveling from Gimpo > Haneda, and then Haneda > final destination in Japan on two seperate tickets. Is 2 hours enough to clear customs at Haneda? I am assuming it is not crowded at all because they have very few international flights...

Both flights will be on NH.

I cannot speak to your "customs clearing" issue, however bear in mind that it routine to arrive Haneda 30 min prior to departure, thus I cannot imagine a 2 hour connection being a problem. Also consider that a NRT-HND connection should be 3 hours of which at least 1 hour is driving!

Thanks for the speedy response. I imagine it is pretty doable, seeing as how smoothly Haneda usually runs...

It's no problem.
I could arrive at Terminal 1 (JAL terminal) within 15 or 20 min after I got out NH1292, when I traveled in this March.
Of course, I had a priority tag on my luggage.

You can go to Terminal 2 by a connection bus (free). Please make sure Terminal 2 is the next stop after Terminal 1.

Yes -

Please note that you will arrive at the International Terminal. There are so few international flights that you don't risk being stuck behind a crowd of passengers from 3 jumbo jets that landed just before you.

Once you clear customs, you can take the airport bus which stops at T1 and then T2.

I wonder if it's possible to walk from International Terminal to T2.... they seem to be so close together on the map...?

2 hours should be plenty, with a lot of time to spare.

As I do the Haneda <-> Gimpo route often, I can tell you that you should clear customs relatively quickly. If you sit up front (or are a Japanese citizen), it'll take less than 5 minutes to clear. Even if you sit in the back or are a foreign citizen/resident, it should take no more than 30 minutes max. You're right, there are no other flights that arrive anywhere near that time. You will arrive at the puny "International Terminal", which is used only to serve the Haneda <-> Gimpo routes (4 flights inbound & 4 outbound each day).

Once you exit the terminal, the terminal connection bus will be right in front of you. It comes about every 10 minutes. The ride to either of the two domestic terminals should take no more than another 10 minutes.

You're best advised to take the bus - walking would be quite the hike.

On domestic Japan flights out of Haneda, you can check in up to 30 minutes before departure and there shouldn't be any problems.

Yep, can't wait! Hopefully it'll help lower the price of the fares - it's waaaay more expensive than NRT <-> ICN. Of course, it's waaay more convenient, also :D

Btw, I'll be taking NH 1291 tomorrow on C.
