In this situation, Narita airport immigration officials may wish to see evidence that you have a ticket to leave Japan and sufficient funds to support yourself in Japan. Failure to provide such evidence could result in you being refused entry to the country.
Interesting. I have US passport so I should be able to enter w/o VISA. My wife she is on Taiwan passport, but supposedly Taiwanese passport holders are allowed in w/o visa for quick visit (30days or so, I am not certain about the number of days). Would we still need to get bank statements?

So does that mean I can't fly from Taiwan to NYC(returning flight and involves TPE -> NRT -> JFK), after abandoning the Tokyo-Taipei leg? If this is true, then this makes the whole stopover plan a moot.
Thanks again.
