Yes - HND and NRT are the same city - I wasn't able to use this as an open jaw. I think I did TPE-NGO // HND-HKG for my multi-carrier RTW.

However, once ticket issued, you cannot change from one airport to another airport within the same city without triggering re-issue (if ticket is completely unused). In other words, you can't simply pay 1,000 asiamiles to change from one to the other.
This is correct to my knowledge.
