Japan - Can you change your mind about transiting NRT?

Transiting NRT and not expecting to leave airport.

Can I decide to leave lounges and leave airport once I am in lounges by filling out immigration forms and exiting?

Good question. I'm sure there is a way to do it, but it probably involves long discussions with officialdom and you'll have to stomp your feet a lot and be very insistent.

I suppose that the answer would depend on whether or not you are a citizen of one of the visa waiver countries.

+1. Hailstorm is right. If you're not from a visa waiver country, don't even think about it.
