You should have been asked when you booked Experience Japan Fare, didn’t you? No, never asked when check-in at an airport. The impression I have is that during booking, the reservation system will ask those information and booking cannot be completed if an agent leave those information blank.

Maybe we had to input a PNR on booking. I can't remember. Maybe it just waived everything after I put "Canadian Passport".
All I know is that, if I was in the OP's place, once I book the ticket, I would not stress one minute about it.

So I'm trying to book this fare but it isn't allowing be to book an infant. When clicking on the information link next to passengers it is coming up with the following:
* One infant（8 days to 2 year old） may sit in a single adult passenger's lap.
When making a reservation from a website where this screen is displayed, it is not necessary to purchase a ticket for the infant or notify the airline in advance that you will be traveling with an infant. Please notify the staff directly at check-in.
I haven't come across this before in my travels, so I can just show up on the day and let them know I have an infant?

The good thing about travelling with a child is the choice or a 787 balloon or some origami papers as a free gift in flight.
And if there are empty seats, the FA may allow you to move to a row with them.

Will be taking a SQ flight to HND and am considering a transfer to CTS on this fare.
Will SQ be willing to check through the luggage to CTS even though the tickets are on 2 separate PNRs?
Anyone know the minimum SQ-NH connection time? My flight arrives at 1605h and I'm considering the 1800h HND-CTS flight.

When I did it, I took my luggage, proceeded through customs et al., then followed the signs to "connections".
There is a small security check point, and right before you will see maybe 4 or 5 check in counters (one for ANA, JAL, and their domestic low cost counterparts). You can just drop your bag off there.
It was very easy, and I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

what about getting through checked baggage going from a NH (FUK-NRT) to AC (NRT-YVR) flight on separate PNRs. the connection time would be 125min. i'm not sure if getting through checked baggage is a YMMV situation here.

Generally, Star Alliance carriers are fairly good at checking luggage through. But in the end it will depend on the agent manning the counter.

Award Ticket for ANA Experience Japan Fare?
Hello,
I just recently booked a J award ticket for February/March 2018, but I found out about the Experience Japan Fare even more recently.
Is it possible to use my ANA mileage points to book another award ticket for this fare?
I tried booking the domestic flights here:However, it gives me an error saying that there are no international flights. I then proceeded to here:but the latest dates are only 3-months (I'm assuming that this is normal for domestic flights?)
I tried searching for an answer on this thread, but I might have missed it, or there isn't an answer... yet.
Thank you so much for your time. ^

Does the Experience Japan fare work when connecting from an international flight?
For example BKK - KIX - HND?
Do you really have to check-in in person at a counter for the EJ ticket?
Or will they be able to through-check me+luggage from BKK all the way to HND?
It would be TG -> NH at KIX and *A Gold
MCT at KIX International-Domestic is 60 min - is that still enough time if needing to check-in in person for this EJ fare?

Technically, there is nothing in the three eligibility criteria that couldn't be checked before arriving Japan, but IME NH wants to do it on location. And realistically, as the international ticket can be on any airline, how could NH ever be sure the other airline did the validation? So yes, check-in in person.
