When should I book flights from Canada to Japan?

Book 12–18 weeks ahead for general travel. For cherry blossom season (late March–early April), book 5–6 months ahead — this is the most popular Japan travel season globally and flights from Vancouver and Toronto book out extremely fast. For autumn foliage (late October–November), book 3–4 months ahead.

What is the cheapest time to fly from Canada to Japan?

November (outside autumn foliage peak) and January–February offer the lowest fares. July–August is summer in Japan but also peak Canadian school holiday travel — a double demand peak that inflates fares. Cherry blossom season (March–April) is the most expensive period of the year.
