JAL might resume OKA-FKS service. If it does, I guess this would be the best route in terms of miles and FLY ON Points per JPY. Whether you want to fly to Fukushima is a different story though.

Instead of flying to Fukushima, it might be good to fly away from it!

No new info on FKS? I cannot find any mentions on jal.com.

The prefecture met with JTA the other day. Still no plan for regular scheduled service yet.

Any news if this fare will be prolonged, or if it really will end 31 march?

Current info on JAL page says "Conditions from October 01,2013 to March 31,2014" with a black out period of march 14 - 31. Depending on how one reads that, there is an opening for the fare to continue past march.

The fare has been renewed. Check the website for the latest info including blackout dates through Mar 2015 and new consumption tax rate.

A side note is that all Yokoso fares are limited to one per international ticket. This means one is not allowed to combine the Tohoku special with a normal one. If you want to use the Tohoku special fare, you can only book these 6 airports. Ie you cannot do 3 segments in Tohoku and 2 somewhere else.

For the uninitiated, between Aomori, Misawa, Akita, and Yamagata, which would be worth visiting for 1-2 days in early April?

I'm looking for the HND-XXX-ITM connection. Thanks.

My vote is for Aomori. Absolutely gorgeous city and lots of options for day trips to the surrounding area. ^

Does anyone know if one can have both Yokoso/Visit Tohoku and Yokoso/Visit Japan (i.e., 10 sectors in total) per int'l ticket? Tks!

No, you must choose one of them. You cannot even combine the fares, ie 3 tohoku sectors + 2 non-tohoku will be billed according to normal yokoso fare.

I think you can combine yokoso, welcome to japan, okinawa island pass and tohoku pass with 1 international ticket. There's no rule to specifically disallow it. You just need to comply these individual ticket rules accordingly.

Can you get a reference on that?

The fare rules, as I read them, does not allow it. Also, the eligibility paragraph says
Limited to one oneworld YOKOSO/Visit TOHOKU Fare per international ticket.
I also called JAL London and specifically asked to combine the two. They said no.
