Cheapest Months to Travel

January and February are typically the cheapest months for US-to-Tokyo flights, falling between the holiday rush and cherry blossom season. November also dips in pricing before year-end demand picks up.

Peak Travel Seasons to Avoid

Cherry blossom season (late March to mid-April) is the most expensive time to fly. Summer (July-August), Golden Week (late April to early May), and the December holiday period also see significant fare increases.

Best Time to Book

Book international flights to Tokyo 2 to 4 months in advance for the best fares. Cherry blossom season trips should be booked 3 to 5 months ahead.

Midweek Advantage

Tuesday through Thursday departures tend to run cheaper than weekend flights. The difference can be $100 or more on this long-haul route.

Time Difference to Keep in Mind

Tokyo is on Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9). That puts it 16 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time in winter and 16 hours ahead in summer (since Japan doesn't observe daylight saving). Landing in Tokyo in the evening allows a night's rest before starting the next day.
