I've done YYZ-NRT or HND with Air Canada 3 times on reward points. The first time in 2006 (NRT) the surcharges were low, around $200. January 2008 (NRT) was $312. December 2014 (HND) was $598! Glad to hear this is coming down now, when I booked in December 2014 gas prices were just starting to fall but that definitely wasn't reflected in Air Canada's pricing.
Breakdown of the $598:
Canada Security Charge (CA) 25.91
Carrier Surcharge (YQ) 518.00
Combined taxes, fees, charges and surcharges 55.15
