Haneda Airport Operations?
As I was viewing the Haneda Airport pages along with Google Maps, the 05/23 runway is built on reclamation and it has a 2,500m length. This runway is primarily used by the International Flights that come in and out during the overnight hours (long-haul flights).
Is that a sufficient length of a runway for the long-haul 777-300ERs for take-off? Well at this time I don't think they'll be hosting A380s anytime within 5 years; I could be wrong but I'm not quite seeing it yet.
Judging by the Google Maps, this runway can be extended further into the bay (23 end) through reclamation. Do you think that it would be possible to extend it should the need arise?
With the 3 other runways, do these have an overnight curfew?

HND remains primarily a domestic airport (NRT primary international) for Tokyo - While 2,500 meters is not very long for heavy airplanes, the few international flights operated in HND are not long intercontinental flights, but flights to Korea, Taiwan, Okinawa, Guam, so the airplanes are not heavy for takeoff, and landing is never a problem with that runway -
Yes, you might see the A380 in Haneda, but that will be probably for high density intra-Japan flights, if and when Airbus starts to offer configurations in excess of 850 seats or more (?) - So far, the 747D with 650 seats give (I think) satisfaction to JAL and ANA -
My only experience with Tokyo was into NRT as pilot, I went occasionally to HND, but that was as passenger - NRT has strict curfew hours for departures, I am certain HND has same policies -
