The comparator uses Tokyo (TYO), which covers both airports. To decide which suits you based on accommodation and transport, see the guide Narita or Haneda.

As a guide, the best fares usually appear between 2 and 4 months before departure; both booking too far ahead and booking at the last minute tend to be more expensive. Use the price calendar above to find the cheapest month for your route.
Is it cheaper to enter through one Japanese city and leave through another?
Often yes. A multi-destination ticket — for example, entering through Tokyo and leaving through Osaka — can work out better value than a return to the same city, and it also saves you backtracking at the end of the trip. Compare both options in the search engine.
Are the comparator prices final?
They are indicative real-time prices that may vary depending on availability, purchase date and airline. The final price is confirmed in the associated search engine when you complete the booking. This page is a comparison tool, not a travel agency.
