Narrative:
My first leg of operating experience (oe) on the 777; unfamiliar airport/area of the world. Wind was forecast to be 20-35kts in narita at landing. Scheduled to land with 18;000 lbs of fuel. Upon arrival to narita we are given holding. After 10-15 minutes we are vectored on the approach to 16R. Approx 1;000 feet AGL we received a 'windshear' warning. We proceeded to go around on a missed approach; we had 15;000 lbs on the go around. ZZZZ was our listed alternate which is in very close proximity to our destination and had the same gusty winds. We decided to try the approach at narita again due to the longer wider runway. After asking ATC what number we were for approach (number 10) we decided to request for priority handling. On our second approach approx 500 feet we received another 'windshear' warning on the pfd; the captain executed another go around; we had 10;000 lbs of fuel. Winds on the ground were 200 25g35 with variable winds and reported gains of 15 kts on final. Wind at 2;000 feet MSL was 240@80; yes 80. ATC took us on a right downwind for a close in approach back to 16R. ATC kept us fairly tight and turned us to the localizer; but with the 80kt wind at 2;000 feet we were blown through the localizer and into the approach area for 16L; where [a] 777 was on final. We received an RA 'climb.' we followed the red bars and got back on our approach course and landed the aircraft. We had 7;500lbs of gas on board after landing with both left and right tanks amber (low fuel). This is just over [30 minutes] of fuel. This is unacceptable; especially on a 14 hour flight.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: B777 flight crew reported windshear during two consecutive approaches resulting in go arounds. After noting that the warnings were for increasing airspeed the crew elects to fly a third approach and ignore the windshear warning should it occur; but it does not. Gate arrival fuel is 6;900 pounds.
