Since this is ex-NRT, would it have to be ticketed by the AA Japan office (I am US-based)? I found a couple older threads on trying to book ex-NRT itineraries when living outside Japan, but didn't see any definitive answers.
You'll need an agent in the country of departure in order to get the 'correct' price. ex-Japan when ticketing in the US will force the US price on the ticket. There used to be a rule that allowed for ticketing in Canada at the CND rate of the departure countries price, but it was removed a couple of years ago.
