At one time there was a flight from Tokyo to Nagoya that qualified as an "international," - IIRC, passengers all connected from international flights without clearing customs and immigration in Tokyo. It would make sense to operate such services to KIX, FUK, CTS to make life a little easier for people who want to return to the regions - but I don't suppose that's on the cards.
He's just 17, so driving home on his own is out. I did find out that United flies into Nagoya, with a 12hr stopover in Guam, so that will probably be the route we go (6 hours of driving for me instead of 16 roundtrip to Tokyo). When he flew out a year ago it was ITM-HND/NRT-GUM-HNL, so this is actually easier.
