Some fares allow stopover (free/for fee), some don't allow stopover. Some have hip checks that prevent you from doing this

If stopover, book LAX-TYO-(10day stopover)-ASIA, ASIA-TYO-LAX. Enjoy your 10day Tokyo vacation

Note that there may be a min connect time at turnaround (ASIA). You do waste hours/days doing this

You cannot actually throw away any legs (except maybe the last leg, with all the caveats about (hidden city fares)
