weird avios redemption Osaka-Tokyo
Osaka to Tokyo on JAL is $220, and only 4500 avios + $2 taxes. Great!
No-no, wait, the award one is Osaka-TAIPEI-Tokyo! What da...
Okay, maybe it's a chance to have a side-trip to Taiwan... Just Osaka-Taipei is... Ta-da! 7500 avios + $106 taxes. Huh?!

The weirdness of it has two points - the supposedly "intra-Japan" flight has a connection in TPE, pricing for 4500 avios +$2 bucks, but if i price each leg separately it comes out as 15000 avios +$212... I thought they were distance based...
So, is there a way, to have a stopover in TPE and still pay 4500 avios?

And dates?
When I search KIX-TYO, I get connections but it prices correctly (per segment) when I select a routing. When I search ITM-TYO, I only get nonstop options.
