Introduced at Haneda Airport Terminal 2

In November 2025, the iino type-S running in Terminal 2 was replaced with a new model. Seeing mobility not as a means of transport but as a moving space, we carefully shaped its layout, lighting and dimensions.

In the corridor linking the Terminal 2 main building with the north satellite, iino guides passengers from Gate 52 to Gate 47 autonomously, at walking pace.

Rest in motion

A journey begins the moment you step outside.
Checking timetables, glancing at your watch, moving from one place to the next.
Carrying bags, hurrying along, on to the next destination.
Travel is surprisingly busy.

So, in the middle of the journey, a moving space where you can unwind.

A wide seat where you can put your bags down and sit back. The soft glow of indirect lighting at your hands. Slow autonomous driving that feels as if the space itself is moving. It is another lounge, taking you to your boarding gate.

Past check-in and security, a place to step away from the bustle for a moment. People passing in the corridor and the view beyond the windows flow slowly by. Just a few minutes to the gate — rest in motion changes the journey.

A comfortable moving space

Safe for everyone to use, and convenient as a transport service. Beyond that, what we chose next was to shape it as a space.

The seats at each end hold your body firmly while yielding just enough.

They are deep, so you can sit comfortably wearing a backpack or a baby carrier, with larger bags beside you. Up to six people can sit, three on each side.

The space between the seats is for standing.

Lean against the smoothly curving handrail, take in the view or enjoy a conversation, and relax.

The opening is 960 mm — wider than a typical front door — so you can get on and off smoothly with a suitcase. The handrail falls naturally to hand, helping you on and off.

Keeping the warm timber and soft curves of the design, the new model gives shape to the comfort of a space.

The light at the start of a journey

8 a.m.: morning flights reach their peak, and the smell of coffee drifts from cafés and restaurants. As the mobility starts up, the indirect lights beside the seats come on.

Soft light diffused through thin layers of wood. Gentle shadows give depth and dimension, opening up the space. It is the sign that the mobility has begun to work not as a tool for moving, but as a space.

Look into the light and you see colourful stacked layers.

It is material from Super Mate, a brand that upcycles plastic bottle caps. Caps that have done their job are collected, layered and mixed, and colours appear by chance. Each sheet is finished as thin as 1.5 mm so that light shines through.

What floats up through it are memories of someone’s everyday life. Carrying those stories, it lights the start of the journey.

Changing the journeys to come

The murmur of check-in counters and lobbies, announcements calling passengers to board. An airport is a place full of quiet energy, where all kinds of people come and go.

The form of mobility we chose for such a place is a moving space where your mind can ease and you can find your own rhythm again.

There are gate deadlines, the trip after you land, the flight home to arrange. Still — “oh well” — your shoulders naturally relax. At a comfortable pace, enjoying whimsical detours and chance encounters.

A moment to reset, in the middle of a journey. We hope that kind of breathing space will gently change the journeys to come.

At Haneda Airport, research and development across advanced technology and spatial design has been pursued under the theme “Everything an airport can do to move people’s hearts.” Its new way of getting around may lie just beyond scenes like this.
