As is HNL-NRT. But since there isn't a ton of expansion planned (bulk of order is updating fleet type) I'm not certain we'll see those routes (as cool as they'd be)
According of the Great Circle Mapper:

ANC-NRT does have range is 3,400 miles. I think the 737-8MAX can fly nonstop.

As for HNL-NRT but, I think it's right choice to fly nonstop HNL-NRT. It is 3,810miles.

And also, ANC-KIX/NGO does have enough more range is 3,600 miles. I think it will possible to start nonstop ANC-NGO/KIX.
