Originally, I tried to log into my JMB account through the Japan site. It told me to go to the American portal, which I did. The flight there was over twice as much as it was on the Japanese site. What gives?

I wound up going through the Japan site, not logging into my JMB account and purchasing the ticket. Why does the US site charge over twice as much for the same flight?
It's a different reservation system. Always book domestic only flight through Japan website if you are not buying for the Yokoso or explorer pass.
