Ancient traditions meet ultramodern culture — with competitive transpacific fares
Tokyo is a city of contrasts — serene temples next to neon-lit skyscrapers, Michelin-starred restaurants alongside ramen counters, and centuries-old traditions coexisting with cutting-edge technology.

January through March and late October through November offer the cheapest flights. Cherry blossom season (late March-April) is peak.
