Outward Flight

Japanes airports. I need to fly to Beijing (PEK) or Mongolia (ULN). Which airport should I fly out of? Probably not Tokyo (NRT), to which I am flying to from the US. I'm leaning toward a southern tour for two weeks, but haven't fully decided. Once I book the outward flight my route will be set. Need to look through that guidebook some more.
