The base fare for an ex-Japan LONE4 is JPY369,600
So even your $5500 seems high
In the tool, the price is broken down into Base Fare + Taxes/Surcharges and will be shown in JPY. What are you getting for each component?
Edited to add: Just priced up a simple LONE4 in the tool (NRT-SYD-LAX-LHR-NRT).
Base Fare JPY369,600
Surcharges/Fees JPY108,440
TOTAL JPY478,040
