r/t can to north Asia can be had for 100-120k r/t in business so theoretically it's possible. There's also promos that will give you 20% more when you transfer. I would look for awards on non-US FF programs and/or partners that don't use dynamic pricing - availability will be worse but you'd potentially stay within the 100-120k range. . Many partners will not show online. Using a service might be helpful in this case. Also look into paid tickets - e.g. Zipair to NRT goes for around $1000. And check pay with points on Chase - which can be good value.
