Air Canada has round-trip flights from Dallas (DFW) to Tokyo (NRT) for $823 with a connection. Flights in September. Departures on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The outbound segment of this itinerary has a 19-to-21-hour overnight layover in either Toronto or Montreal.
When I see 20-hour overnight stops in a city I want to visit “on the way” to Tokyo, I don’t see it as detrimental. To me, it’s a side-trip with enough time to check things out, eat some good food, and get a good nights sleep before the flight out to Tokyo – but I totally understand that not everyone will see it that way. If you see it like I see it though, I think this is a good price for what you get.
Just make sure that you’re making a mental note of your actual arrival +2 days later in Tokyo.
