I just checked HND-OKA-NGS-ITM-HND together and separately, the price was around $85 per segment. I was checking for next spring. I was expecting longer segments to be more but they were all pricing the same.

So glad I checked Flyertalk and found this thread before booking my ITM - NRT NH2176 one way fare in September. Came to $95CAD total (H fare) and I was able to select seat 13A which appears to be premium economy? Hold on based on seatguru it looks like a Business seat. Nice.
It did ask me for an international reservation or ticket number. I put my YYZ-ORD-NRT-China one-way reservation number with ORD-NRT in F on ANA. Not sure if that did something to let me book business section seat (assuming it’s economy service).
Somehow when I tried to enter my AP # it rejected my request so I switched to ANA mileage club number. I have no status whatsoever with ANA though.
Anyway, hope they honour the 13A seat request! Previously I was going to try to upgrade to F at check in counter with 9K yen. Now with business seat, I won’t bother. It’s only an hour and 20 min flight

I'm looking at some Experience Japan Super Saver flights from NRT-CTS next July. The morning flight is ~$50 per person and the afternoon flight is ~$200 per person. I'd like to take the afternoon flight after landing from SFO instead of the next day's morning flight. Does anyone know if these Experience Japan flight prices change like regular tickets? Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.

In my limited experience, they are fixed price fares and seats are either present or not. If you can't get the fixed discounted price on a flight, then all seats are already sold.

still eligible if not departing Japan by air
Eligibility Criteria 3 - Passenger must be in possession of an international return ticket (on any airline), with the first leg of the journey originating from outside of Japan.
I have a question regarding the above eligibility criterion. I'll be flying into Japan but departing the country on a cruise ship. I'd think that I'm still eligible to buy the Experience Japan air pass but would like to know if anyone has used the pass without any problem under this scenario.

I scanned this thread and it seems like agents don't always (ever?) check the international tickets. I booked one way on JAL to Tokyo and wanted to decide later how long to stay in Japan and where to go from there. My int. reservation would allow me to book this special fare (I tried dummy booking) so I'm kind of tempted to take a chance - a few actually.

they rarely check (never checked with me). the most important thing is you must have a Japan tourist's entry stamp in your passport. as long as you're in Japan because of tourist reasons, not work visas etc., it should be fine. coz you must need to get out of Japan anyway within 90 days of arrival from your one-way ticket...
