The original illustrations from the postmortem kind of gives us the answer:
Ryo becomes Akira (he puts his signature headband) and shows his back to Shenhua (in the center) and Xiuying (in the background), who look like giving him some kind of farewell. All in a barren, grassland-like, setting.
No sign of where Ryo goes to, maybe it's back to Japan or to search for more adventures, but the destination doesn't seem key to the plot and it will probably not be shown. Also no sign of Nozomi or Guizhang coming back (neither Joy nor Fangmei, nor Wong seems important to the plot).
I think it would be a great ending, and I'd agree completely with all those choices if they are kept in the end. Having phone conversations with past secondary characters, and meeting some relatives or acquaintances of them, is enough for filling the "nostalgia" and connecting the world. But more would be too much IMO.
