Random, yet specific question. The times I've been to Haneda International Terminal in the past, we always bought our Tokyo Bananas and other regional souvenir snacks (the wafer cookies in turquoise, the white egg shaped things filled with sesame) at a shop on the 4F of departure level near the Wako? Tonkatsu Restaurant.

We have an 8:55a departure on Tuesday. How early does this place open? I can't find the actual store name anywhere to figure it out on the Haneda website. I know Daimaru Tokyo Station has all of these, but it's so much easier to get them at Haneda. I'd just hate to get there and the shop to be closed....

Also, how busy is the Int Terminal at 7-8a on Tuesday? Can we do online check in, stroll in the airport at 7:45, bag drop, buy snacks and clear security in time to hop right on our NH flight to GMP?

By departure area, my mistake. I really meant above the check in counters.

I do not know the exact shop you are describing, but if it is souvenir shops which sell those sweet snacks as you mentioned on 4fl Edo Koji area, then that shop is open from 7 a.m. However, if you are looking for such items as Tokyo Bananas then I am sure shops at departure gate area, after passport control, should sell those, too.

Although I do not remember exactly for sure that shops in departure gate area did sell Tokyo Bananas, but sure they had typical Japanese sweet souvenirs such as Shiroi Koibito from Hokkaido. So I am assuming they have to have Tokyo Bananas at departure gate area also.

Yeah I will need bananas, but that store has been my favorite because it carried everything. I know I can get the necessary kitkats inside duty free, too.
