I will now demonstrate my loser status by replying to the same message
twice.

On the HIS site, I see a flight departing Narita 9/14 (Sun) for LA, for a
5-10 day stay, for 44,000 yen.

You can try playing around with the variables to get the best match for your
schedule/budget.

As to travel agents that speak English, my advice would be to get a
Japanese-speaking buddy to hold your hand through the procedure with a
Japanese agency. These days, it's not too complicated -- you make the
reservations, get an invoice via fax, wire them the payment or bring it in
in person, then get a confirmation fax, which you take to the airport and
use to pick up your ticket at their counter.
