Why now
At $1,290 per person, the fare is $232 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 15% gap across the 12 offers we checked. With the hotel, the whole trip comes to $3,461 for two. That doesn't include a checked bag (about $180 for two) or spending money. The timing works too. Fall color in Tokyo's city gardens peaks late November to early December, and typical highs run 57–65°F with lows near 46°F, so it's good walking weather if you bring a jacket. Expect some gray days, since the weather normals show rain or drizzle on several dates. Nine nights leaves room for the big neighborhoods plus a day trip to Hakone or Nikko, even after the flight out takes up the first two days. Prices were all-in when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a big-city food and culture trip at an easy pace. Think mornings at markets and temples, afternoons in gardens and museums, and evenings in yakitori alleys and small bars. It suits a couple or two friends who like walking, riding trains and eating well at every price point, and who don't mind planning around a few gray days. It's not a beach or resort trip: the city is the point.

It's $3,461 all in: $2,579 for the flights, $812 for 9 nights at Takemura Building 2nd floor and $70 in property fees, with taxes included. A checked bag (about $180 for two) and spending money are extra.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. You need a passport to travel to Japan.
What is the weather like?
Typical highs are 57–65°F, with lows near 46°F. The weather normals show mostly overcast days, rain or drizzle on several and one mostly clear day, so pack layers and an umbrella.
