Emergency Travel Document through Narita
I will be traveling from Albany, NY to Manila via Delta airlines. I will be traveling on Philippines Emergency Travel Documents. I have heard rumors that you cant travel through Narita with these. I dont see what the issue will be if I have a immediate connecting flight. I will not be leaving Terminal 1. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks

You can travel, but your connecting flight must leave on the same calendar day and you cannot leave the international transit area. If you connect instead through Haneda you can remain up to 72 hours.
Connecting landside through Japan requires obtaining a shore pass from immigration, and that requires an actual passport.
