Hmmm. Is it too late for you to trade for *A miles? I fly to/from HIJ fairly often, and the ICN connection is my favorite by a considerable margin. Plus, CA usually runs one of its nicer planes between YVR and ICN (whereas JL tends to send its very worst planes to YVR).
You might also want to contemplate HIJ-HND-SFO-YVR. SFO-YVR is actually SFO-SEA-YVR, but the connection works, and I almost consider this annoyance preferable to the cross town shuffle in Tokyo.
