Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Varanasi and Tokyo. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Best time to fly

The best times to visit Tokyo are during spring (March to May) for the cherry blossoms or autumn (September to November) for pleasant temperatures and colourful foliage. Avoid the rainy season in June and July, as well as the humid summer months.

Things to do in Tokyo

Visit the Sensoji Temple, Tokyo's oldest temple, and explore the Nakamise-dori market. Explore the vibrant Shibuya crossing, the world's busiest intersection. Immerse yourself in the colourful and trendy Harajuku district. Experience the Imperial Palace East Garden, the former site of Edo Castle.

Food to try

Try ramen, a noodle soup dish with various regional variations. Sample sushi and sashimi, fresh seafood served with rice and soy sauce. Indulge in tempura, lightly battered and deep-fried seafood and vegetables.

Local tips

Learn basic Japanese phrases to enhance your interactions with locals, as English proficiency can be limited. Carry a Japan Rail Pass if you plan to travel extensively by train, as it can save you money. Always carry cash, as many smaller establishments do not accept credit cards.
