When to go for better prices
March, April, October, and November are popular, but prices can rise around cherry blossom and fall foliage weeks. Look just outside the highest-demand dates.
For Tokyo, Japan, compare several departure dates before booking. Small shifts around weekends, school breaks, public holidays, and major events can change the total more than a daily meal budget.
