Does anybody have a better idea?

1. SEA-LAX-NRT-ITM
Problem: departing SEA at 6AM (ETA 8PM)

4. SEA-LAX-KIX
Problem: departing SEA at 6AM, Non-SkySuite 788 (ETA 8PM)

2. SEA-SFO-HND-KIX
Problem: ETA for Kyoto is 12PM (Departing SEA at noon)

3. SEA-SFO-HND then Shinkansen
Problem: $100 extra expense than bus from airport to Kyoto (ETA 10PM)
Since I'm trying to burn "leftover" AA and DL miles I can use OneWorld or SkyTeam outbound or return.

I might go HND (for convenience out of Tokyo) to LAX/SFO and use AA/AS to get to Seattle. I could use DL miles for DL and/or Korean to get to Osaka. It is really dependent on what is available at the 330 day mark.
