Tokyo from Memphis, Nov 14–23: $1,023 per person, round trip
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $522 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Autumn colour in the city gardens peaks late November
- Typical highs of 57–65°F, good for walking Asakusa and Shinjuku
The catch: There are two stops and the outbound takes 30h 27m, rain or drizzle is typical on four days, and a checked bag is about $160 for two.
Worth it if you'll trade a 30h 27m trip out for nine nights of food and autumn gardens; skip it if you need a nonstop.
Worth it if you can handle a long trip out: $1,023 per person round trip, or $2,046 for two, for Nov 14–23, 2026, nine nights. You fly American, with legs operated by Republic Airways as American Eagle. It isn't nonstop: there are two stops, and the outbound takes 30h 27m.

Why now
We found $1,023 per person round trip, $2,046 for two, with taxes and fees included. That's $522 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 34% gap across 12 fares we checked. The prices are from Oct 15, 2026, and they can change. Mid-November is a good time to go. Autumn colour in the city gardens peaks from late November into early December, and typical highs run 57–65°F with lows near 46°F, which is good weather for walking all day. Pack a rain layer, though. Rain or drizzle is typical on Nov 15, 16, 17 and 21. This trip suits people who want to eat their way through a city: sushi at dawn, yakitori under the tracks, and a day out to hot springs or shrines.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food trip with a lot of culture in it. Expect neon crossings and quiet shrines, sushi counters and convenience-store meals, all tied together by trains that run to the second. It suits couples or friends who like to walk, eat and stay out late. Most days can be full, with one slower day for a hot-spring trip. With nine nights, you can mix busy days and easy ones without rushing.

Where to stay in Tokyo
We didn't price hotels for these dates, so the $2,046 covers flights only, and you'll choose your own base. For a first trip, Shinjuku is the practical pick: it's a rail hub with skyscraper hotels, Golden Gai bars and the yakitori alleys of Omoide Yokocho. Shibuya puts you at the scramble crossing, with youth fashion, nightlife and direct airport buses. If you want an old-town feel and lower prices, Asakusa has ryokan-style inns around Senso-ji temple, and you'll be close for an early visit before the crowds. Ginza and Marunouchi bring polished shopping streets and luxury hotels next to Tokyo Station, which is handy for day trips. Roppongi is the one for art museums, international restaurants and late-night bars.
