The price of the flight to Japan is usually the most expensive part of our trip to the country. And together with the Japan Rail Pass and accommodation, it forms a triangle that takes most of the budget of our trip. That is why it is so important to try to find the best and cheapest flights, because this can be the difference between traveling cheaply to Japan or not.
But whether the price of the flight is cheaper or not, it is clear that it is an important investment. And once the flights are purchased, there is usually no turning back and our trip to Japan starts to become a reality.
That is why, in addition to the price, questions arise about issues such as documentation, visas, travel insurance, airlines, etc. So we are going to give answers to all that in this post to make finding the flight as easy as possible.
We have a post with more tips for cheap travel in Japan, dealing with other aspects of the trip than flights. In it we explain many details to keep in mind to save on transportation, accommodation, food, activities and more.

In reality, there is no such thing as a “best airline”. Each one has its pros and cons, the question is to know which airline is the most suitable for you. Many people can give you their subjective opinion, but everyone sees it from a different perspective and situation. After asking many travelers about their experiences, we have been able to come to a few general conclusions that can help you make your choice.
There are three types of flights: direct flights (no stops along the way and no change of planes), direct flights with stops (you will not get off the plane, but there will be a technical stop) and flights with stopovers (you will have to change planes at least once).
Direct flights have quite high prices, and their main users tend to be people who prioritize time and comfort before the price of the ticket, such as executives, wealthy people or anyone who needs to get to the destination as quickly as possible.
On the contrary, flights with stopovers exist to counteract the offer of direct flights, so that tourists can travel without spending so much money. These trips are longer and more tiring. During the stopover, you have to go through security checks again at the next airport and, depending on the length of the stopover, you will have to wait a few hours. There is also the possibility of having problems with schedules and missing one of your flights because of a delay. For all these reasons, these tickets are usually cheaper.

In late March-early April comes one of the most important moments in Japanese life; the ‘sakura’ has long been considered in Japan a symbol of ephemeral beauty, a metaphor for life, bright and beautiful, but fragile and fleeting. This announcement of spring is the occasion to stroll under the lushness of flowers with delicate pink tones and, above all, to drink, eat, chat and sing. In the parks, tablecloths are spread out, sometimes from the early hours of the day, to celebrate a happy feast with friends and neighbors (see more).
