PVG is often wide open and I took advantage of this recently when I wanted to go to Korea. But it works equally well for Japan. With no visa requirements for China any more for UK pax, it's a doddle.
We've got the transfer flights from PVG into NRT and out of HND for £440 total for 2 of us with ANA so am happy to loose that cost for the convenience of a more direct flight, also more chance of a club suite with the early A350 flight having them
