You can probably check your luggage all the way through from the point of origin to the final destination. That would relieve you of the need to deal with the checked luggage at NRT.
The only draw back is that you would need to pack all of your overnight needs in your carry-on. And unfortunately, you cann't carry liquids in your carry-on luggage. Can you handle an overnight stop without any liquids? Hotels here generally provide shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste. It's possible buy shaving foam, hair gel, moisturizer and other basic toiletries in any convenience store. That's what I would do...

But if you insist on having your preferred brand of hair tonic in the morning, then you'll need to retrieve your checked luggage at NRT. I don't think you can recheck it until the day of the flight. But you could leave a suitcase in storage at the airport overnight. There are desks for various delivery services in the arrivals hall, who will all store a suitcase for a fee.

FWIW - All of this information can be found by reading the sticky and searching previous threads. There's also a recent thread on Tokyo tours.
