Narita - lounge access inbound?

[vetrade]

Flying QF to NRT as part of a OW award in J - arriving 6.15am for a stopover in Tokyo.
Check-in not available at hotel till 2pm so would like to shower +/- eat at the airport before heading into Tokyo.
I know there are public showers and have previously used the QF J lounge as a transiting pax but I recall having to wait around for it to open at 8.30am.

Anyone know if I have any reciprocal lounge options? Showering is the priority so any chance of getting in early at the QF lounge for one?
I don't have status.

Pretty sure the public showers down in the basement level are the only option...
Note they open at 7am. Arriving off the QF flight you are often airside by 6.30am so it is a wait until it opens.

Have done this twice before 9am meetings in Central Tokyo... (and once flown back the same night!).

No inbound lounge is available

Recommend you check with your hotel, to see if they have anything like a gym with showering facility.

You may be lucky with an early check-in.

I usually get my room around 10:30am.

Also recommend you take a bottle of water off the plane, as nothing is open and there is a wait before your train/bus departs.

Last time I took this flight by the time we got to the hotel it was mid-morning and we were able to check in straight away. YMMV of course and its never guaranteed, status with the hotel chain helps.
