Peak season:
The peak times of the year are during the Japanese holidays, New Years and the Obon Festival in August. You can normally find rather cheap flights to Japan too as a lot of the locals are on holiday. The busiest times of the year are during the school holidays and festivals. You’ll find flight tickets are more expensive so make sure to book your flights to Japan in advance to secure a deal. Spring time is a beautiful time to visit and cheap flights to Japan are easier to come by and hotel accommodation is still affordable.
Off season:
The off season in Japan depends on how you perceive things, Spring and Autumn are classed as off season although they are very busy times of the year in regards to local celebrations, the Hanami celebration in Spring for example sees the parks bustling with people. January to April offers the cheapest flights to Japan as well as low tourism so can be a good time of year to find a reasonably priced escape.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Japan, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, August is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 27.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 6.0 C).
In order to find the cheapest flights to Japan you’ll need to book your flight tickets well in advance. Aim for at least 3 months in advance or even earlier if you are visiting during an event or festival as they will see the price of your flight tickets increase substantially. Mid-August offers a nice window to find cheap flights to Japan whilst most of the local Japanese are away on their own holidays. You’ll find some services might be unavailable due to this but you’ll also find cheaper hotel deals and cheaper flight tickets. If you are flexible with your dates and your location in Japan then you’ll find the cheapest flights to Japan just by searching around and comparing different months.

Got me there and back on time. Except for a 30 min maintenance delay, but that meant more time for nap. Crew was super nice.
