The arrival terminal can be T2 or T3, depending on where your aircraft is heading to next, and you'll know for sure a couple hours before arrival.

Thank you both. I'll be with my son and we'll be able to enter Japan. I just hope we can check bags all the way through then. I have the TTP and APEC so any lines should be quick, but he doesn't, and he's too young to transit by himself. So if we have to enter Japan that will mean using the general line, and less time at the Delta lounge, which I've heard good things about.
