Is there a fast track for non-Japanese passport holders who fly in J?

Just trying to work out what limobus we will make to our hotel.
There are APEC lanes and automated gates (if you qualify for either, I have used both) that help at that time, but even the former can be quite busy at times.
I don't usually fly J there, though, and if I am, I am usually connecting (or on an award.)
I also like to leave ample time when there.
It is very short, though the immigration process does require your fingerprints (and the Japanese customs agents are far more professional than their American counterparts.)
