You can hop across the Pacific, except it will take twice as much flying time, plus all of the additional aggravation of taking several flights. A non-stop in PE or J HKG-YVR would potentially be cheaper and far more pleasant.
However if you plan to stop for a few days in Guam, Hawaii, etc. then it could make more sense.
Alternatively you could look for a cruise ship positioning. I know my parents cruised from Vancouver to Japan last autumn.
