I second at looking at this option. If you want to visit many places within Japan and Asia on a single itinerary, taking the OW award option is the best way to go as it has lots of flexibility and opens doors to a lot more opportunities in travel.
Be creative; you can even do SFO-HNL-HND-CTS-HIJ-HND-GMP-KIX-TPE-HKG-BKK-NRT-YVR whose total distance comes to 19,329 mi allowing you to hit Honolulu, all over Japan, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and finishing off your journey in Vancouver for only 130,000 miles in J. Then take the Amtrak Cascades + Amtrak Coast Starlight from Vancouver all the way to the Bay Area and you'll have a trip to remember for years.
The only problem is figuring out if you can fit all that in your vacation schedule

yea.. i've only got two weeks so i was planning on spending that on the ground in japan and then in HK and actually minimizing the flying to just the three legs. i know that's sort of backwards as an FTer but what can an american in a 9-6 with 10 days off a year do ? besides move to europe
