You can then easily get a taxi to Haneda for about 6,000 - 7,500 yen depending on route and surcharges. Yes it's expensive - but you should make your flight. I wouldn't suggest messing around with trains at this time of night - although it's cheaper if you don't know your way around it could be difficult... The taxi from TCAT to Haneda will take about 20 minutes at this time of night - so if you pull in to TCAT at around 1130pm (easily doable even if immigration and customs are backed up which they shouldn't be) you should be at Haneda by midnight - with enough time to check in and clear security (they are very efficient at Haneda) and breathe a sigh of relief...
Oh, I just saw your reply after posting my response. Thank you for the information. Would there be any traffic jam on the way tho TCAT? Would I have to pre-book (if so, how) a taxi from TCAT to Haneda Airport at that hour? Is taxi safe at that hour?
I booked this flight solely because of my careless oversight with the fact that it involves Haneda. I once and only once flew from there, checked in 2.5 hours ahead and still missed my flight due to terrible looking queue at security and immigration.
Indeed, would you recommend if I take the train to Ueno or Nippori and get a cab from there? I am a bit worry about motion illness on the 1+ hour vehicle ride, especially when I get nervous.
In any case, I should be good if I carry JPY 15000 for the bus/train and taxi?
