China Southern is a 4-star airline and hubs through Guangzhou, China to a ton of Asian destinations, including Japan.
These are the best dates I’ve found, but if the dates you want aren’t there, try them anyway as I can’t search every single combination!
Also compare with Air Asia to Osaka from $269 one way, Tokyo from $205 and Seoul from $259.
