You may find it more convenient to transit through ICN due to the general hassle involved in NRT-HND transfers, but to be honest except for the Narita Express most train services have returned to normal, and the limousine buses are also running.

Thanks yes I understand that. The problem is that there is no flight out to the new conference venue after I get into NRT. The same with the return. So I'd have to spend a night in NRT or an area hotel on the outbound and likewise on the return. Basically two full days staying in this area where this is still a travel warning. There is no way for me to just fly in and out of NRT due to lack of scheduled flights. Whereas if I fly into and out of ICN I can have a good connection and no overnight stay in Seoul. The difference is on the order of 12-14 hours of travel time each direction, plus two overnights.
