Lounge Question - Narita

I'm flying LAX - NRT on JAL in business.
I have a 16 hour layover and then fly from Haneda - HKG

Will i have lounge access upon arrival at NRT?

Thanks

Nope. You'd have to go through security at NRT to get back up to the departures level and you won't have a valid boarding pass. I guess they might overlook the fact that you're leaving the next day out of HND but I wouldn't bet on it.

I doubt that they will overlook it. NRT transit security is very strict on checking boarding passes. I do not see how they will allow a next day departure, out of a different area airport, to enter the NRT departure area.

So, OP, count on not having lounge access on arrival in NRT.

Like others have mentioned, you're not actually switching planes at NRT so you will have to go through passport control as soon as you arrive at NRT so no lounge access.

If you're after a shower facility, as a J passenger you get access to one. Can't find an English version of this so will have to get someone else you post the English link if there is one.

You can see where it's located based on the map. I've used it a few times and found it to be clean and useful.

With 16 hours you might as well book a hotel somewhere in Tokyo.
