Thanks for the replies.

Edta: Yeah, I'm transferring from ICN. And since I'm flying from SF (due to time of the flight?), there's no option/selection for GMP.

Fire: I'm planning to stay in Minato (using airbnb with another friend (who's flying in from another country))..so Haneda is better in terms of distance. But I don't think I could clear customs in a hr and catch a train in time; and a taxi would be 90-100 dollars.

I was planning to fly in NRT or HND on a Saturday (in September) the air fare price it the same, but I think I may just fly in a day earlier to NRT, which is a 100 dollar cheaper (HND is 800 dollars more..). If i go with this plan..i'll stay at one of the hotels near the airport. Any one have any experience with those hotels? told by one of my friends that they don't clean the sheets? (sometimes)
