Not exactly. There are "international flights" that operate between KIX/NGO and NRT, where passengers enter/exit Japan in KIX/NGO and connect airside to/from international flights at NRT. I don't know who operate these now, but NW used to fly NRT-NGO-SPN and NRT-KIX-SPN. This allowed NW to serve the KIX/NGO-SPN markets without basing aircraft at either end, and serve KIX/NGO-USA markets without flying aircraft from USA into KIX/NGO.

Except at a certain checkpoint when 100 people are in front of you and you'll be queueing next to the end of a walking belt, you'll hear the "the end of the walk is ahead" ladies (automated voices) in British and Japanese about 50 times before you get processed.
