London to Tokyo Narita is Europe's best-known gateway to Japan, and demand spikes hard around the cherry blossom and autumn windows.
Because those peaks are predictable, so is the fare pressure — which makes comparing early worthwhile. Pingsme compares 87 airlines across 109 routes and refreshes this page every couple of hours.
When to fly to Tokyo
Late March to mid-April is cherry blossom season, with near-ideal 15–22°C weather and the heaviest demand of the year.
October to November delivers autumn colour at a comfortable 15–20°C with thinner crowds than spring. December to February is cold at 2–10°C, but brings the clearest Mt. Fuji views, winter illuminations, and typically the lowest fares.
On arrival: money, timezone, getting around
Japan uses the Japanese Yen (JPY) and runs on UTC+9. Japanese is the everyday language, though transit signage is bilingual throughout the city.
Pick up a Suica or Pasmo IC card on arrival — it covers trains, buses and convenience stores. Keep cash on hand: plenty of small restaurants remain cash-only, and 7-Eleven, Lawson and FamilyMart ATMs all accept international cards. Google Maps handles Tokyo transit accurately, including offline.
Where to stay and what to do
Asakusa suits budget stays and sits beside Sensoji Temple; Shinjuku is the mid-range base with the deepest transit and dining options; Shibuya and Omotesando hold the luxury end.
Work in Sensoji Temple, Shibuya Crossing and the Hachiko statue, a morning at Tsukiji Outer Market, and TeamLab Borderless. Pingsme's full Tokyo guide is at /en/destinations/tokyo.
