HND/NRT?
Near the lower end of the fare range the outbound routing brings me from LAX into HND and about 19 hrs later I would fly from NRT on to HKG. What to do? Any suggestions? Is it easy to get from HND to NRT and then overnight near NRT? When I force a connection at SEA in both directions the price rises a few hundred dollars.

DL: LAX-NRT-HKG 4.6cpm 675$ 14552 mi
Got this booked.. As low as $667 (666.60) in November (shows on DL and google).. 11/11 LAX-NRT-HKG; 11/16 HKG-SEA-LAX. Must be a combo of either outbound via NRT and return via SEA or vice versa.. Selecting same outbound and inbound connections makes the price jump..

...and of course Tokyo has hotels at all price ranges, though can be a little costly. If you have 19 hours between flights you should have plenty of time to go into town and get a good sense of the city.
Getting between the two airports is not difficult but may take several hours ground travel. Others may have more precise info, and I suspect there is a thread or two on FT with more information on airport transfers.
