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. Multiple carriers compete on transpacific routes, especially from West Coast cities, keeping fares surprisingly affordable.
January through March and late October through November offer the cheapest flights. Cherry blossom season (late March-April) is peak.
