Hi.. I'm planning a trip to Japan and a flight I'm interested gets me into HND at about 10pm but my ultimate destination is Osaka (and Kyoto). Any connection by air would require an overnight. Are there any overnight trains that I can catch or am I better off with a morning connection? If it matters I'll be flying in 1st on NH using miles.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Cheers
Howie

No, there is no flight or train that would leave Tokyo after 22:00. I would get a hotel near Shinagawa Station and take an early shinkansen train the next morning.
However, what NH flight with F arrives at HND at 22:00? The latest one I can think of is the JFK-HND flight which arrives at 21:10.

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry to return to this thread so late. I booked 1 ticket JFK-HND-KIX with the HND-KIX leg at 9AM the following morning. That should get me to my hotel in Osaka by around noon. It's an award flight so there were no extra miles (maybe a slightly higher fee). If I could still get there that night that'd be preferable but based on comments here it won't be by bus so I will just cough up the cash for the airport hotel so I am sure not to miss my connection. I thought about hanging out in the airport but I'd really prefer to get some sleep.
I assume I will go through immigration when I arrive at HND and the HND-KIX leg will be treated as a domestic flight. Is that correct?
What if I have luggage? I assume I'd have to pick up my bag if I checked it on JFK-HND but can I recheck it then or do I have to wait until the next day for the HND-KIX leg?

It will just take you longer than it would have from Itami.

If you're spending the night at Haneda, there's the First Cabin "capsule-ish" hotel in the terminal. The sleeping spaces are larger than a capsule hotel and I spent the night a few years ago - perfectly acceptable and convenient.

I'll probably just take the airport limo bus. A little over an hour and it stops about a 5 minute walk from my hotel. I can look outside (if I get a window seat) and take in the view.
I thought one day to try a capsule hotel but not this trip.

Edit: Nevermind, cannot check through for next day flights except HND extends that to 3AM flights.
