Next week I will return to Japan for the first time since the Corona disaster.

Since I cannot use public transportation to get to and from the airport, I will have my family in Japan pick me up at Haneda, but I don't know how long it will take to leave the airport after the plane arrives, so I can't tell them exactly what time I should have them come. I am not sure how long it will take for them to leave the airport after arriving at the airport. For those who have recently returned to Japan, how long did it take you to leave the airport after arriving at the airport in Japan? I know I will have to make you wait at the airport, but is there a place in the airport where the person picking you up can wait for a while, or were stores open normally? We are arriving at Haneda.

I entered Japan about 3 weeks ago with Haneda arrival as well as Topy. In my case, after the seatbelt sign went off after arrival, it took about 1 hour and 10 minutes to complete customs and meet the person who picked me up.
The CA informed me on the plane that it would take about 3 hours today, but I think it was much faster because of the small number of arriving flights. I will give you some tips on how to get the results of the antigen test and get out of the airport as soon as possible. You should have completed all the designated oaths and other documents, including the PCR negative proof in Hawaii, and have them ready for immediate retrieval in a clear file or the like.
You should also install the designated smartphone applications while you are in Hawaii, turn on location information, and register a Skype or WhatsApp account so that you will be able to check the operation immediately when you are asked to do so at the gate.
It is also recommended that you take a screenshot of the QR code on the questionnaire so that you can present it immediately.
Please search for the latest information on the documents and applications you need to prepare.
Once you get off the plane, you will be asked to show this and that, have this app installed, have your location data turned on, make sure your email is delivered, etc. There are many obstacles to overcome, including the saliva test.
In my case, I had everything ready to show immediately, so I could proceed without stopping here and there, and the test result came out quite quickly.
Many people around me stumbled over QR codes or started installing apps on the spot, so I felt it might take more than twice as long in that case.

For those who are picking up, there is a waiting area with chairs by the exit.
Convenience stores and coffee stands in the neighborhood were open. The restaurants on the 4th floor departure floor may be somewhat open, but I think they are often closed and deserted. Please check the latest status of this as well.

During the 14-day voluntary quarantine period, you will receive a health observation e-mail every day at the same time before noon, so please try to reply by 2 pm.
Also, you will receive an app notification (twice a day ~ three times a day) asking you to notify us of your location, so please respond immediately.

Tokyo

Thank you very much for the detailed information on how to get out of the airport as soon as possible after arriving at the airport and going through the various checkpoints to get the results of the antigen test !

The information on the 14-day voluntary quarantine period was very helpful! !

I will ask my family to pick me up 2 ~ 3 hours after our arrival time, as it would be bad to make them wait even longer at the airport after a long drive. We are very excited to go back home, which is completely different from before the Corona disaster, but we will take Tokyo's advice and go. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience ! !.
