Peak season
Japan’s capital offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining for visitors who arrive on cheap flights to Tokyo. Culture vultures will adore districts such as Asakusa, while Shinjuku’s high tech skyscrapers are interspersed with shrines, museums and peaceful parks. Peak tourist season for the city is summer (June to August) when, despite the heat and humidity, flights to Tokyo are usually more expensive. July is when many local festivals are held in Tokyo, and the school summer holidays runs from the end of July through August. Peak travel times for flights to Tokyo tend to fall around Japanese holidays when reservations need to be booked far in advance.
Off season
Winter weather is chilly in Japan with coldest months of January and February averaging temperatures below 10C. But you can still get plenty of clear, sunny days and, excepting Christmas and New Year’s, opportunities to find affordable flight tickets to Tokyo during this season.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Tokyo, 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).
Spring (March to May) is a sweet spot for booking flights to Tokyo, the cherry blossoms are in bloom and daytime temperatures are comfortable for sightseeing. Autumn (September to November) is also ideal time to visit for witnessing the foliage change colour. Avoid travelling in summer if possible and aim for the first half of March, mid-May to June or September to mid-December to book the cheapest flights to Tokyo. Note that typhoons are widespread in Japan in September so it is advised to monitor the forecast before your flight.
