It looks like BA Executive Club is the only OneWorld program Amex MR transfers to. BA's redemption charts shows that it would cost 140,000 miles + ¥63,160.00 taxes for this round trip.

JMB shows that this flight would be 80,000 miles + ¥58,980 in taxes. But I don't see a way to transfer Amex MR points directly to JMB miles.

Can someone walk me through this?

Thanks!
There's no direct transfer to JMB. You either transfer this to a JMB airline partner, e.g. BA, and redeem using BA Avios or transfer to other program partners, e.g. SPG, and convert those points to JMB miles.
