Given they also have domestic business "Class J" - am assuming it will book into a First Class earning Cat.

Upgrade from an economy ticket is Y8000 ?(A$83) (US$77)

JAL's some domestic flights are operated in 3 class configuration of F/J/Y.
Currently, HND(Tokyo)-ITM(Osaka),and HND-FUK are available.
From 01JUN, HND-SPK is available.
F surcharge is 8,000 JPY.
J surcharge is 1,000 JPY.
"Class J" does not earn first class miles.
For JAL FFP members, domestic class J provides only additional 10%.
So, if you use discount Y ticket of earning rate 75%, you only eart 85% miles for class J service.
Similarly, for domestic F service, JAL provides addtional 50% miles, rather than150% in total.
These additional 10/50% miles are counted for status/tier qualifing miles for JAL FFP members.

Unfortunately, Yokoso Japan(Visit Japan fare, 10,000 JPY fix rice for ANY domestic flight) is not eligible for F upgrade by F surcharge.
