January and February offer the lowest fares and thinnest crowds, making them the savviest entry points for budget-conscious travellers. Cherry blossom season (late March to mid-April) and Golden Week (late April to early May) push prices sharply higher. Autumn foliage in November is a sweet spot: stunning scenery with fares still below peak.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Budget | Low | Post-holiday lull; cold but clear skies ideal for city exploring. |
| February | Budget | Low | Cheapest month; Setsubun festival adds local colour. |
| March | Mid | Medium | Cherry blossoms begin late March; book accommodation early. |
| April | Peak | High | Peak cherry blossom and Golden Week; fares surge significantly. |
| May | Peak | High | Golden Week ends early May; best weather of the year. |
| June | Mid | Medium | Rainy season begins; fewer tourists and lower fares. |
| July | Mid | Medium | Hot and humid; summer festivals attract domestic travellers. |
| August | Peak | High | Obon holidays; domestic travel peaks, some international surge. |

Everything you need to know before booking your Japan flight on Laters.
Japan Airlines and ANA (All Nippon Airways) offer direct flights to Tokyo from dozens of cities across Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania. Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Korean Air also operate frequent direct services from their respective hubs. You can compare all available direct and connecting routes on Laters.com.
February is typically the cheapest month to fly to Tokyo, with average one-way fares from nearby Asian hubs starting around USD 210. January is similarly affordable. Avoid late March through early May (cherry blossom season and Golden Week) and late December, when fares can rise 50-70% above the annual average.

Singapore Travel Agent LicenceTA04059Booking flights to Tokyo rewards the patient planner. Fares from Asian hubs can drop to genuinely affordable levels outside cherry blossom season and Golden Week, but long-haul routes from Europe and North America call for 10-12 weeks of lead time. This city suits everyone from solo culture-seekers to families navigating conveyor-belt sushi with children. The airports are excellent. The trains are better.
February fares dip to USD 210, and that thin-crowd window is worth building a trip around before Golden Week pushes prices 50-70% higher. Haneda sits just 14 km from Shinjuku, Terminal 3 signed in four languages, which makes the arrival almost as good as the destination. Seoul to Tokyo takes 2h 20m for USD 210, while Sydney runs 9h 45m and USD 650, so the maths changes a lot depending on where you're flying from. Broad BNPL coverage from Atome to Klarna means the instalments are there if the timing isn't.
| September | Mid | Medium | Typhoon risk; fares ease as summer crowds thin. |

Budget-friendly direct flights from Singapore and other Asian cities; ideal for travellers who want low fares and are happy to pay for extras à la carte.
Japan offers visa-free entry for passport holders from over 60 countries, including most Western European nations, the United States, Canada, Australia, and many Southeast Asian countries. Entry conditions can change, so always verify the latest requirements on Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (mofa.go.jp) before you travel.
Tokyo is served by two international airports: Haneda (HND), roughly 14 km from central Tokyo, and Narita (NRT), about 60 km from the city centre. Haneda is generally more convenient for reaching the city quickly; Narita handles more long-haul international routes. Both airports have excellent rail and bus connections into the city.
The Narita Express (N'EX) is the fastest and most direct option, reaching Shinjuku in around 80 minutes for approximately JPY 3,070-4,070. The Keisei Skyliner to Ueno takes 41 minutes and costs JPY 2,570. Airport limousine buses are slower but stop directly at major hotels, typically costing JPY 1,000-3,200 depending on your destination.
Direct flights from London Heathrow to Tokyo Haneda or Narita take approximately 11.5 to 12.5 hours depending on winds and routing. Japan Airlines and ANA both operate non-stop services on this route. British Airways also flies direct from Heathrow to Tokyo.
May offers the best combination of weather and post-Golden-Week value: temperatures are comfortable, the city is lively, and fares ease after the peak. Late October and November are another strong window, with autumn foliage in parks like Shinjuku Gyoen and generally manageable crowds. Avoid the rainy season in June and the humidity of July and August if possible.
Laters.com charges no booking fees on top of the fare. The price you see at the start of checkout is the price you pay, including any BNPL instalment plan. Airline-imposed fees for seat selection, extra baggage, or meals are shown transparently before you confirm, and all of these extras can also be split using your chosen BNPL provider.
