LAX to TYO is usually less expensive than the other West Coast airports. SFO/SJC trends higher than SEA, in my searches.

Japan hotels & transportation are also more expensive than other SE Asian countries. I think "Higher disposable income / price tolerance" definitely has something to do with it.
