Good question, unclear to me at this point. I would think they need to do something to have a totally discreet inflow at security for TTP/facial scanning in the future. At Haneda maybe it could be North Security which is currently not being used. If you find out anything let me know and I'll do the same. (From one ex-Hatchobori resident to a current one I sure miss clearing immigration at Hakozaki. Let's hope they get Haneda working as well as that.)

You can apply online now but it currently looks to be taking 6-8 weeks for approval. When approved you have to do an in-person interview at the airport when you next enter. The requirements are pretty clear on the Japan Trusted Travel Program pages of the Immigration Services of Japan website. Good luck!
