I, too, aim to arrive at the airport 2 hours before the departure time. Less if you can OLCI and bypass the check-in queue. As an aside, what airlines operating in Narita support OLCI?

In the past, I have seen UA Y check in agents holding up signs with flight numbers that are close to departure time. If are on one of those flights, the check in agent will lead you to the front of the queue.

I think so too. Actually 4 hours leaving Tokyo is probably playing it really safe. I think I left about 3.5 hours from the hotel, and when I got to the airport the check in counter was not even open!

I did also see line agent (different airline) holding up sign with flight number.
