Will be arriving at Narita at 4pm on a first class flight and leaving the next morning at 10:50 flying to Jakarta in coach.

I thought I read somewhere that people arriving on first and departing on a coach flight the same day can use the first class lounge. I was hoping even though my departure is not til the next day that I might get to enjoy dinner at the lounge then get some sleep at the capsule hotel before my morning flight.

I just phoned JAL customer service and was told that as I am flying on an Alaska reward ticket I will not have access to the first class lounge at all.
As you don't have a same day departure, you can't even get to the area where the lounge is located on your day of arrival. You will have to go through the arrivals process and enter Japan. This is separated from the departure area where the lounge is. The next day you will be departing in coach, and if you have no status, there will be no lounge access.
