Tokyo City Air Terminal (東京シティエアターミナル Tōkyō shiti ea tāminaru), or T-CAT, is a public transportation facility in the Nihonbashi neighborhood of Chūō, Tokyo, Japan. Close to Suitengūmae Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line, it is a transfer point for passengers going to and from Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) and Narita International Airport. Airport Transport Service provides bus service between T-CAT and the airports as well as to Tokyo Station.
T-CAT opened around the same time as Narita Airport in 1978. Narita is located 66 km from the city, and T-CAT was intended to increase the convenience of the airport. It offered airline check-in facilities until September 2001. The major stockholders in T-CAT's operating company include Keihin Electric Express Railway, Mitsubishi Estate and Keisei Electric Railway.[1] T-CAT also at one point had exit immigration pre-clearance desks, so that passengers could complete exit formalities at T-CAT and then use a special lane to bypass exit immigration at Narita Airport.[2]
Direct access is provided from the Suitengūmae Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line. TCAT is a short walk from Exit A1 of Ningyōchō Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, Exit A3 of Ningyōchō Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, and Exit 4b of Kayabachō Station on the Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line.
On-site services include an ATM, post office, currency exchange booth, barber shop, rental car counter and dentist's office.[3] T-CAT also has eleven restaurants offering Japanese, Chinese and Western cuisine.[4]
