Your best option may be to get a flight to HND and transfer at HND.
I guess that it might also be possible to extend visas for continued residency in the USA in this circumstance.
My son will be coming back to Kansai from HNL in July, but the ANA flights I was planning on were to NRT then the connection departing from HND.

JAL has connections via HND, but entering the domestic side is not allowed.

I called JAL and they confirmed this, saying there are no direct flights to Kansai until Sept.

This is from the JAL website:
All travelers arriving from an international flight must stay at places designated by the quarantine chief (such as home) for 14 days from the day following their entry into Japan. Travelers must not use public transportation (including domestic flights) to get to their designated place of quarantine from the airport. Therefore, connections to domestic flights can be made from the 15th day after the 14 days of quarantine is completed.
