Tokyo Travel Essentials

Where ancient temples meet neon-lit futurism — the world's most electrifying city

Tokyo is a city of breathtaking contrasts. Centuries-old shrines stand in the shadow of glass skyscrapers, Michelin-starred restaurants outnumber any other city on Earth (200+), and the transit system runs with legendary precision. From cherry blossom season in spring to illuminated winter streetscapes, Tokyo delivers a sensory experience unlike anywhere else.

Flights to Tokyo — FAQ

What is the cheapest month to fly to Tokyo?

February is typically the cheapest month, with average roundtrip fares around $550 from the US West Coast and $620 from the East Coast. November is also excellent value at $600 avg. Avoid March (cherry blossom season, $1,100 avg) and December (holiday rush, $1,050 avg) when demand peaks.

How long is the flight to Tokyo from the US?

Direct flights from Los Angeles or San Francisco take about 11-11.5 hours. From New York JFK, expect 14 hours nonstop. From Chicago, around 13 hours direct. One-stop flights via Seoul (Korean Air) or Taipei (EVA Air) add 4-6 hours but can save $100-200.

Should I fly into Haneda or Narita airport?

Haneda (HND) is far more convenient — only 14 km from central Tokyo with a 20-minute train ride costing $2-3.50. Narita (NRT) is 60 km out and takes 55-90 minutes. However, Narita has more international long-haul routes and sometimes cheaper fares. At similar prices, always pick Haneda.

Which airlines fly direct to Tokyo from the US?

ANA and JAL offer direct flights from JFK, LAX, SFO, Chicago, Houston, and Seattle. United flies nonstop from SFO, LAX, and Newark. Delta operates from LAX, Seattle, Minneapolis, and Detroit. American Airlines flies direct from Dallas and Los Angeles.

Can I pay for Tokyo flights with cryptocurrency?

Yes. Travorio accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, and 100+ cryptocurrencies for all Tokyo routes. Japan legalized crypto as payment in 2017. Paying in crypto avoids the 2-4% international conversion fee on JPY transactions.

When should I book for cherry blossom season?

Book at least 12 weeks in advance for late March to early April. Cherry blossom season averages $1,100 roundtrip — double off-peak. Consider flying into Osaka (KIX) instead — it's cheaper and 2.5 hours from Tokyo by bullet train.
