It might be best to go through ANC. Most Int'l flights with an RFO can get crowded in the back (crewmember sleeping). Out of ANC, no RFO. As for getting to NRT, once you land, the FedEx Rampers bring the crew and jumpseaters over to the terminal for customs & imm. out the door you go to a cab or the train station. Depending were you live, you might also want to look at NWA.
