The terminal is located inNihonbashi-Hakozaki-cho,Chuo-ku, beneathHakozaki Junction, the three-way interchange forShuto Expressway'sMukojima Route andFukagawa Route, three blocks southeast ofSuitengu shrine.

The major stockholders in T-CAT's operating company include Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd.,Keikyu Corporation,Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd.,Airport Transport Service Co., Ltd.,Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd., and Airport Facilities Co., Ltd.[1]
T-CAT was opened in 1972 in preparation for the opening of the New Tokyo International Airport (now known as Narita Airport) in 1978. Since Narita Airport is located 66 km (41 mi) from the city, the terminal was intended to increase the convenience of the airport with offering airline check-in facilities untilSeptember 2001. 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]
A tourist information center on the first floor provides inquiries and various brochures for tourist information. Tickets for Haneda can be purchased on the first floor (ground floor) of the main building, while tickets for Narita can be purchased on the third floor.
Departure gates on the third floor are used for Narita Airport bus service, while those on the first floor are used for Haneda. Arrival gates for both Narita and Haneda are located in the first floor.
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]
A direct underground passageway connects T-CAT withTokyo Metro atSuitengūmae Station onHanzomon Line. The terminal is also a short walk from Exit A1 ofNingyōchō Station on theTokyo Metro Hibiya Line, Exit A3 of Ningyōchō Station on theToei Asakusa Line, and Exit 4b ofKayabachō Station on theTokyo Metro Tōzai Line.
