Vancouver to Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Sapporo, and 6 more places in Japan - $485 to $588 roundtrip | but long layovers

Beautiful Japan

China Eastern has dropped the price of their late October and November flights from Vancouver to a variety of places in Japan down to between $485 and $588 CAD roundtrip.

However, nearly all of the flights have a long layover in Shanghai, usually on the way there, in the range of 15-17 hours.

Like many destinations around the world, there have not been any really great deals to Japan since the spring of 2019.

In a typical year, great deals to Japan on ANA and Japan Airlines will pop up every now and then in a similar price range. They are much better airlines than China Eastern, and much faster flights (particularly to Tokyo and Osaka).

But unfortunately, this has not been a typical year.

You can also find similar prices when flying into one city in Japan, and then home from a different city (see instructions below).
