Editorial snapshot
Booking 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.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| September | Mid | Medium | Typhoon risk; fares ease as summer crowds thin. |
| October | Mid | Medium | Comfortable temperatures; early autumn colour in parks. |
| November | Mid | Medium | Autumn foliage peaks; great value relative to the scenery. |
| December | Peak | High | Christmas illuminations and year-end travel push fares up. |
