Narita and Kansai International Airports will be inaugurating a new "fast lane" in Immigration for VIPs and selected foreign visitors.

Kyodo News reported:

Japan's first fast lane immigration service will start this week at key international airports near Tokyo and Osaka in a bid to speed up procedures for certain foreign visitors, airport operators said Monday. 

Narita airport and Kansai International Airport will start the service on Wednesday targeting such people as conference attendees and VIPs. They will be allowed to enter the fast lanes upon showing a coupon provided in advance by their airlines at the entrance to immigration.
