Momo-san,

I'm not an experienced transferee, but according to the Haneda Airport website, you go through immigration at Haneda, receive your baggage, and then check in for your domestic flight （ to Nagoya ）.

By the way, I am also interested in the Honolulu - Nagoya route, which airline are you considering ？
JAL's Honolulu-Nagoya direct flight is once a week for a while, so I thought it would be good to float the cost of the Shinkansen if the fare is reasonable with another airline.

Koji,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
Thank you very much for your site. I used to fly from the US mainland to Nagoya via Narita, but I wondered about Honolulu-Nagoya via Haneda because the immigration check was at Narita, Nagoya, Narita-Nagoya was treated as an international flight, domestic flight, and so on. I am considering JAL as the airline.
Yes, it is inconvenient because direct flights to Nagoya now fly only on Thursdays.
From July 14, there will be 3 flights a week.

Thank you again for your kindness.
Thank you very much.

Information for 2023.
I have been to Honolulu → Narita → Chubu twice on JAL.
I entered Japan at Narita.
Then with checked baggage, I checked in for a domestic flight to Chubu. There was only 1.5 hours between arrival at Narita and departure from Chubu for domestic flights, but I was able to make both connections. I didn't have time to stop at a store in Narita.

When the same itinerary required a PCR test for entry into Japan in 2022,
I could not transfer on the same day because of the time required by quarantine at Narita.
After arriving at Narita, the only flight to Chubu the next day was an evening flight from Haneda, so we had to carry our checked luggage to Haneda and stayed overnight at the Royal Park Hotel in Haneda Airport. （ I had to pay for my own transportation ）
I think Haneda has more stores in the airport than Narita, so it was a good place to buy Tokyo souvenirs.

For your information.

Momo-san,

If you take a flight via Narita, you have to go through immigration at the final destination.
Perhaps "domestic" flights to/from Narita are only available to international passengers and are treated as international flights.
On the other hand, in the case of Haneda, I think it would be a connection to an existing domestic flight, so it would be an immigration inspection at Haneda. Also, you are considering flying home on JAL, I am planning to stay in Japan from late June to early July, and JAL is my first choice.
The trouble is that when returning to Honolulu from Nagoya, except for direct flights on Fridays,
many flights depart from Centrair first thing in the morning and you have to spend time at Haneda or Narita （ although there are late flights that depart from Centrair after 2:00 ）.
I am currently looking into Honolulu-Nagoya outbound and Haneda-Nagoya inbound tickets, although it is a hassle.
The drawback is that I have to pay extra for the bullet train, and if I want to pay a little more to buy a ticket that can be changed, I have to call the JAL counter, which is notorious for not connecting.

JAL's three flights a week starting July 14 will be great for people in the Tokai region.
I used to be a Delta Honolulu-Nagoya user, but with Delta's withdrawal from Centrair and their reluctance to operate Honolulu-Haneda flights, I wonder ～ if I will have to change where I accumulate mileage these days.
