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  |
Well, if you go to an airline office or travel agency, they can get you ridiculously cheap deals if you are willing to fly during Christmas (24-25)... It's a bit extreme, but I did it last year and the flight price from here to Tokyo round-trip went from 2,400 dollars to just 1,600... Usually those prices don't go online. And you should check Singapore Airlines, it always had the best price for the non-stop LAX/NRT
About hotel, you can always try Toyoko Inn... It's a decent hotel chain with amazing prices and good locations all around the city. Booking is online and starts only 90 days before arrival, which may be a good thing for you considering you're buying tickets after September.
Good luck guys
