It's also very expensive to fly out at the beginning of May, too, since that's Golden Week.

I've always wanted to go to Japan around Christmas / New Years, and I've planned on going this year for a very long time, so I'm definitely dedicated on going and aware about how expensive everything will turn out to be.

There's also deals that randomly pop up on airline sites. I probably won't be able to buy my plane ticket until September/October (as I'm saving up for a summer trip to Europe), but even then, there will be deals going on. I decided to check Expedia for prices from LAX to Tokyo (Narita), and the cheapest was $754, which is actually incredible for any time of year. Of course, if I chose that flight, I'd have to find a flight from Nashville to LAX, which would cost a bit more money right there.

And I know some cheap places to stay that aren't affected by the times of year
