IATA states for Japan:

14. Passengers transiting through Tokyo (NRT) must transit on the same calendar day.

What happens if a French citizen does an international transit in Narita International Airport (NRT) but their outbound flight is canceled? (outbound flight = the flight from NRT to outside Japan) Would they be allowed to stay somewhere overnight, and if so, where? Would they have to try to fly somewhere else, assuming that there are still some flights leaving before midnight? etc.

Assume:

• the French citizen has no tie and no visa/paperwork with Japan.
• international transit in Narita International Airport (NRT) means that the route is: outside Japan -> HND -> outside Japan.
