When landing at Narita, you'll need to fill out two forms. The first is given on the plane, but at baggage pickup, another customs form is required. I only found out at the baggage area and had to fill it out quickly. I'm not sure if there’s an online option, but I couldn’t find anything in advance. - iVisa customer
