JAL First Class Lounge (T1 North Wing)
Tokyo Haneda
From 8 scored metrics
Reopened on 8 October 2026 after a nine-month rebuild, and renamed from Diamond Premier Lounge to JAL First Class Lounge in the process; the same rename rolls out to JAL's Diamond Premier Lounges at New Chitose, Itami, Fukuoka and Naha. Doors open at 05:15 and close after the last departure. Seating is about 1.4 times what the old lounge had. The dining area is built around an island counter whose menu changes through the day: curry bread, sushi rolls and hot soup in the morning, cakes and freshly baked scones at tea time, savory plates with drinks in the evening. The work area has fully private booths and semi-private cubicles suitable for video calls, plus open desks, and doubles as a small gallery with rotating exhibitions. There is a quiet relaxation zone behind kumiko latticework with massage chairs and deep sofas, a pop-up corner pairing Suntory ROKU gin with wagashi, two private nursing rooms, lockers and a smoking room. Showers are shared with the neighboring Sakura Lounge and are booked from your phone, with a waitlist alert and a QR code that unlocks the suite. Interiors reuse retired aircraft parts such as window frames and seat fabric.
