Haneda JL First Lounge
Here is my experience from Haneda Airport and especially JL First Lounge
the terminal is not busy when I arrived around noon
No priority lines for Business/First to clear immigration and security but there were not a lot of people.
JL Lounges entrance
To the left the First Class Lounge (and Business to the right of course)
Luggage lockers to the left
Press and magazines
Overview of the lounge
Unfortunately only japan plug
Showers are shared with the Business Lounge
Massage chair
Restrooms with japanese washlet
Let's go for food and beverage offer

My choice
The food was not to my taste and the champagne was bitter
I was very disappointed but maybe I was expecting too much of this lounge because I thought it was the JL flagship.
Anyway the lounge has a great view on the tarmac and it's nice to spot airplanes
Just before I left there were much more people but still enough seats for everyone

different experience
I have been to this lounge several times but only at night to avail the midnight flight to SFO.
I found the food selection to be good at that time. And the Champagne was not bitter. I also love the massage chairs they have in one of the rooms.

Nice pictures, thanks for posting ^
I like the design of JAL's lounges - classically understated.

Cristal is overrated/overpriced plonk for aspiring rap artists.

Great photos - was there last month brought back good memories. I agree with the food I was expecting more especially compared to BA at T5 or the Wing at HKG. I made the mistake of going into the business lounge for a few minutes was really rammed and actually had pretty much the same food selection quickly ran back. Those automatic beer dispensers are amazing though
The lockers for the bags was great - as someone who always carries the maximum hand luggage over checked bags.
