5:25 is what I meant, I accidently typed the time the ORD flight lands instead of when the NH flight leaves (sorry about that). I corrected the post.
The AA LAX-NRT flight arrives at 4:40 PM and doesn't show as a valid connection, but the ORD-NRT, arriving at 3:15 does. (Per EF and AA.com.)
That's kind of how I'm leaning: SAN-ORD, overnight at the airport Hilton, then ORD-NRT-HIJ, then I'm not sure the best way to get to the ANA Crowne Plaza Hiroshima Hotel. For one thing, it avoids a too-early flight SAN-LAX to make the 11:40 AM LAX-NRT. On the other hand, doing an overnight in Tokyo gets me in to Hiroshima earlier in the day.
