Appreciate the helpful info.
Yes, we are also tossing around the idea of staying in Kobe for a night or two since we haven't been there yet. So, that might be an option too.

Unfortunately, flying into ITM is not showing up as an option. However, (surprisingly?) flying out of ITM is the only option on the return (for the price points we're pulling up).

EDIT: I'm seeing options to fly into ITM now. Choices, choices...
