Basically, moving from depature lounge at airside to landside is prohibited in NRT, I think.
Whenever, I am going back from BKK to HNL, I arrive at NRT in the mornig, proceed to transfer security and stay the first class lounge(thanks for the status) for a hour or two with shower and internet.
I leave my carry on luggage at keyed locker in the first class lounge and come down to the security again.
I explain my flight is 10pm and they allow me to go back to immigration.
Clear immigration and custom and sometimes, I go to Tokyo using Keisei or sometimes I go AEON MALL at Narita.
When I used ANA last time, the lounge lady kept my luggage at their back office for 10 hours. So JAL can do the same(I guess).
