I am looking at booking a NRT-ITM flight separately (we would have about 2h15 between flights). Since we'd be entering Japan at NRT I assume we'd need to collect our luggage for customs and re-check it?
Always; whether one or two tickets you'd need to reclaim the luggage at Narita. But JAL will be able to tag the luggage to the final destination even if on two tickets, if your domestic flight is on JAL.
