When traveling long distance around Japan, sometimes its more time efficient to fly instead of taking the Shinkansen (bullet train).
Open Jaw flights saves you time because you arrive from one destination, but you fly out from another.
| In my example picture, you fly to Japan into Osaka (Kansai). You fly out domestically through Osaka (Itami Airport) to Tokyo (Haneda or Narita Airport). You fly home via Tokyo without having to return to Osaka again. |
[Note]-- before I begin, I need to point the following is not an endorsement of any kind, just an alternative transportation option to think about.
 | Two domestic Japanese carriers that come to mind are JAL (Japan Airlines) + Peach Air (Low-cost carrier; but apparently their food for purchase is really good, what I read anyways). |
JAL has an interactive menu where you just need to select your origin. [SOURCE]: Japan Airlines.
A few examples of where JAL flies domestically:
From Sapporo | New Chitose (CTS)
From Tokyo | Haneda (HND)
From Osaka | Itami (ITM)
From Osaka | Kansai (KIX)
From Fukuoka (FUK)
| PEACH Air (Aviation) is a LCC (Low Cost Carrier) airline co-created by All Nippon Airways (ANA) + First Eastern Investment Group in Hong Kong. |
As of March 2016, PEACH has 14 domestic routes. They seem to be expanding. [SOURCE]: Peach Air.
