Price patterns shift with season and demand, but a few timing rules tend to help. Plan around Japan’s annual peaks and use automation to watch fares so you can book as soon as they drop.
Outside Golden Week in spring, the mid August Obon period, and the late December to early January New Year holidays, fares often soften, especially in late winter and early autumn, though this varies year by year. For short haul and domestic trips, booking about 4 to 6 weeks out often balances choice and price, while long haul routes usually reward earlier planning, all trends subject to change. Set up Set a Price Alert on any route to track drops automatically; you will get an email or push notification and can lock the fare quickly.
If your dates are flexible, broaden your search across nearby days or airports to surface cheap one way flights from Nagoya that others miss. Planning a multi city Asia loop, say Seoul, Taipei, and Bangkok in one go, becomes simpler with the Nomad Search Tool, which finds an efficient order for three or more stops based on your stay lengths.
