Planning Consequences

• The family reaches Narita at 19:40 on Friday, October 2. After immigration and bags, use the next practical Skyliner to Nippori and JR connection to the booked Tabata apartment. Arrival is likely around 22:00–23:00.
• The Tokyo reservation must begin on October 2, with late self-check-in confirmed in writing and the instructions saved offline.
• The return flight leaves Narita at 20:40 on Saturday, October 17. Keep the room through the night of October 16, check out on October 17 and collect luggage by about 15:15.
• Reserve a Skyliner around 15:45–16:00 when sales open, then recheck the exact Oct 17 timetable and terminal. Target Narita around 16:45–17:15.
• The trip has 15 physical nights in Japan, October 2 through October 16.
• Neither Addis connection is long enough for a stopover-hotel plan.
