First Class and million miler passengers traveling on ANA/codeshare flights have access to the ANA Suite Lounge in Tokyo Haneda. Before boarding ANA New First Class “The Suite”, you can chill here with an additional guest before your flight.
Since access is quite limited, the lounge space almost feels too big for First Class. For some moments, it looks like it is literally just our carry-on and an ANA attendant waiting for us to be seated in this room. Very quiet and intimidating to be the only one…
Behind this lounge is an à la carte area where the ANA attendant comes to take your order for the kitchen. Since I was quite hungry, I went downtown on the food… get ready for some food pics

Japanese Curry
Sushi Plate with Miso Soup
After the glorious meal, you can go to the other side of the lounge and watch planes park/take-off. Most of the aircrafts on this side tends to be ANA or Japan Airlines.
For more quiet time, there are individualized cubicles for you to watch T.V. or work. Since I planned to stay awake for most of the ANA New First Class flight, I used this area for a power nap!
Before leaving, I requested to use one of their shower suites. It’s a comfortable-sized room to refresh yourself before the flight.
providing a Dyson hairdryer is appreciated too
Overall, the ANA Suite Lounge in Tokyo Haneda is a decent lounge. Though it’s missing the “wowww” factor for First Class lounges (i.e. the private cabanas in Cathay Pacific First Class Hong Kong), it does provide the necessary Japanese delicacies to satisfy your appetite before you leave Japan.
