Misterpiggy booked his flight and hotel thru expedia.ca. It showed the lowest cost flight flying through Chicago via American Airlines (AA) and connecting via Japan Airlines (JAL). It's easy to find flights to Tokyo but not Osaka. So Misterpiggy was disappointed to find out only recently that if you fly Air Canada to Tokyo Japan, the domestic flight portion is free (ie Tokyo through to Osaka).
Oh well, good to know for his next trip.
Here's the information that he found on Kintetsu's Travel website.
