A number of airlines serve Tokyo International airport (Narita) and - less often - other Japanese international airports non stop from North America, with connections from virtually everywhere in Canada and the United States.

As a result, many flights are offered at up to half-price, so keep a sharp eye out for special offers. It's also possible to reach Japan via Europe, though this can be a lot more expensive
