The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Flights and 9 nights for two: $3,369, taxes and fees included
- $105 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- One-bedroom apartment rated 8.2 from 133 reviews, $91 a night
The catch: The outbound has 3 stops and takes 55h 13m, landing at Narita on Monday, Nov 16, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you'll trade 55h 13m of travel for Tokyo at $91 a night; skip it if you need a nonstop or free cancellation on the cheapest room.
Worth it if you don't mind a long trip there. It's $3,369 for two: the flights at $2,477 plus the hotel at $821 and $71 in fees paid at the property, taxes and fees included. That covers 9 nights, Nov 14–23, 2026, on F9 + YP + ZE with 3 stops, so it isn't a nonstop, and a checked bag and spending money cost extra.

Why now
The fare is $1,239 per person round trip, $105 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, or 8% under it. Across the 12 offers we checked for this week, fares ran from $1,239 to $1,344 per person. With the apartment, the whole trip comes to $3,369 for two before you go, as found when we checked. Prices move, and we can't promise this one will hold. In mid-November, Tokyo's normals are highs of 57–65°F and lows near 46°F. That's jacket weather for long walking days. Rain shows up in the normals on Nov 15 and Nov 21, and Nov 20 is mostly clear. Fall color in the city gardens peaks from late November to early December, so you may catch the start of it near the end of your stay. This trip is about eating well and covering a lot of city on foot and by train.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food vacation at a steady clip. Expect early market breakfasts, temple mornings, train rides between neighborhoods and late yakitori under the tracks. It suits a couple or two friends who like walking and don't need a beach, with room for a slower hot-spring day outside the city. Pack layers and an umbrella. The rhythm is busy days and cozy evenings, and nobody's waking up to an alarm for a pool chair.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
For the two of you, it's worth it if a long trip there doesn't bother you. The fare is $105 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates, and the apartment is rated 8.2. The tradeoff is 3 stops and 55h 13m on the way out.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $3,369 for two, all in: $2,477 for flights ($1,239 per person), $821 for 9 nights at Takemura Building 2nd floor and $71 in fees paid at the property. A checked bag, about $240 for two, and spending money aren't included.
Do I need a passport?
Yes, you need a passport for Japan. Check that yours is in order before you book. You'll also be paying in Japanese yen.
What's the weather like?
The normals for these dates show highs of 57–65°F and lows near 46°F. Rain is in the normals for Nov 15 and Nov 21, drizzle for Nov 16 and 17, and Nov 20 is mostly clear. Most other days are overcast.
Is 9 nights enough?
The hotel covers 9 nights, but you land on Monday, Nov 16 at 10:10 AM, so some of those nights pass while you're traveling. That still leaves time for the city plus a day trip to Hakone or Nikko.
Can I cancel the hotel?
