Timing into hnd is not great (0100) .will probably grab an airport or garden hotel.
return flight is at 2330 which may be awkward for hotel late check out but should be able to check in at hnd and explore hnd and relax in the jl f lounge

Yeah, if you're on the JL operated arrival to HND, the timing is God awful. I struggle to understand who in either airline's management thought that was a good idea, it doesn't even leave DOH at a great time, it's like 7 or 8 in the morning, there aren't a huge amount of DOH arrivals for transfers just before then. 2-3 hours earlier wouldn't have interfered too much with the QR metal NRT flight and would have still left people public transportation options, so definitely question management on that one.
At least EK is offering their pax shuttle service at HND for their late arrival. QR / JL isn't doing anything except forcing people into an expensive taxi or airport hotel.
