But nothing prepares you for your first glimpse of the soaring Skytree tower, your first nervous step on the Shibuya crossing at rush hour, or your first fragrant mouthful of sushi at a brightly lit market stall. From the cherry blossom of springtime to the soft snows of winter, this Japanese city draws tourists all year round, so book your flights to Tokyo, pack your kimono and prepare for a journey to another world.

When is the best time to book cheap flights to Tokyo?

International business hub, pulsating nightlife capital, shopping hotspot, dream honeymoon destination – this is a city that never shuts down, so it’s possible to find cheap tickets to Tokyo at all times of year if you shop around. The weeks around late April and early May coincide with a popular local holiday, so you may find the hotels and public transport even more crowded than usual. Summer can be humid, so if you prefer your air fresh and your evenings cool, choose October or November, when the Japanese maples are at their colourful best.

Where can I catch a flight to Tokyo from?

Tokyo’s Narita Airport is the main international gateway to Japan, and acts as a hub for many major passenger airlines, including national carriers Japan Airlines and ANA. British Airways flies direct from London Heathrow in around 11 hours 30 minutes, while Japan Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and ANA link Heathrow with Tokyo’s other airport, Haneda, which also handles domestic traffic. Finnair offers good-value return flights to Tokyo Narita via Helsinki with a flight time of around 14 hours. If you favour UK regional departures, consider taking a short budget hop to Amsterdam Schiphol and an onward flight with KLM.

Getting from the airport to the centre of Tokyo

Tokyo’s public transport is world famous for its efficiency, so it’s no surprise to discover that reaching the city centre from the airport is a breeze. Hop on the Narita Express (N’EX), which links the terminals to all the main urban areas. The journey downtown takes around an hour and a return ticket costs around 4,000 yen. The JR Sobu line is a cheaper and slower alternative rail service, while the Skyliner bus runs direct to Ueno and Nippori stations. If you can’t wait to unpack and start exploring, there are always plenty of taxis lined up outside the airport to whisk you straight to your hotel.

A city of contrasts

Japan is chock-full of exciting attractions, so it’s worth planning your days carefully to get the most from this city of contrasts. Follow the traditional route, starting with the awe-inspiring Senso-ji temple, shrine to the Buddhist goddess Kannon; tour the grounds of the Imperial Palace, seat of the powerful shoguns; then wander the narrow streets of Shimokita for a glimpse of old Tokyo. When you’re ready for high energy, hop on the underground to Shibuya and lose yourself in the dazzlingly bright lights and hello-kitty inspired fashion of the city’s most intense district.

Tokyo When to Go

As a nation obsessed with natural beauty, Japan has created a culture that capitalizes on the rhythm of the seasons. Its painting and pottery, poetry and customs reflect a profound relationship to nature as it evolves throughout the year. Visitors, too, should be aware of the seasonal landscape and visit Japan when it’s at its best.

That might be late March or early April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the temperatures are in the mid-50s to mid-60s, and the citizens of Tokyo gather with friends in parks throughout the city for hanami, or cherry blossom viewing parties.

Officially, high tourist season is May to August. This is also when a lot of locals leave town to celebrate Golden Week (an annual holiday that falls between late April and early May) and summer vacation (mid-July through August) in the surrounding countryside—which means everyone is off work and the trains are jammed with travelers. What’s more, the rainy season begins in early June and lasts through mid-July, making Tokyo wet and dreary, while succeeding summer months can be uncomfortably hot and muggy.

Come mid-October through November for koyo, or colorful leaf-changing season, when the Japanese maples and other trees in the city’s traditional landscape gardens and at nearby Mount Takao sport brilliant shades of crimson, orange, and gold, with temps in the 60s and 70s. The mild weather might require a light jacket, but the kids are back in school and lines for tourist attractions aren’t atrocious. August and September may see an occasional typhoon, which can bring heavy rains.

Snow falls from around mid-December through the middle of March, but that usually just means a dusting on streets and rooftops. In the mountains 3.5 hours outside of Tokyo, it’s another story; Nagano hosted the 1998 Winter Games. But within the city itself, temperatures hover in the low 50s and rarely fall below freezing. Another heavy domestic travel time, New Year’s, officially lasts for three days, from January 1–3.
