Can get to ZRH or GVA for 140k each.
Can get to NRT and try the A350 suites for 265k each.
The extra 250k RDM is nothing to sneeze at, but we have the RDM sitting around and it's a shiny new product so...seriously considering New Years in Japan...
You might want to check hotel prices before deciding. Tokyo can be expensive around NYE weekend, with Christmas less so. However, some hotels don't really start taking reservations until three or four months in advance of arrival, so it can be a bit hard to interpret the availability you might find now.
If you've never been in Asia around this time of year, it can be a bit strange. At least in big cities, you'll find extensive beautiful decorations that can disappear promptly by dawn on the 26th. Christmas Day might not be a national holiday, for instance in Japan IIRC. If you're accustomed to colder climates, Christmas and New Year's in the tropics can seem weird.
