Tokyo doesn't come up as a cheap flight often. This one is.
Iberia is flying non-stop from Madrid to Tokyo for €855 return, no stopovers eating into your holiday. A fare like this doesn't come up often for a route this long.
✈️ The Deal
- From: Madrid, Spain
- To: Tokyo, Japan
- Airline: Iberia
- Stops: Non-stop
- Price: €855–€899 return
- When: November - December 2026
Example dates: 10/11/2026 - 21/12/2026 07/12/2026 - 21/12/2026 13/12/2026 - 21/12/2026
💰 How far does your money go?
Forget what you've heard about Tokyo being unaffordable. A bowl of ramen with gyoza and a beer at a local shop runs you €7-9, cheaper than a set lunch menu in most of Madrid. A can of beer from a konbini is around €1.60. Budget travellers eat extraordinarily well on €15-25 a day here.
☀️ The Weather
Tokyo in November sits at a mild 14°C, crisp air, clear skies and the best autumn colours of the year. By December it cools to around 7°C, dry and sharp rather than damp. Pack a proper coat, not an umbrella.
🏨 Where to Stay
Three options depending on how much of the budget you want to save for ramen and shopping.
Dormy Inn Akihabara — 8.3/10 · From €73/night Compact, spotless business hotel with a natural hot spring bath on site. Ideal for solo travellers or couples watching the budget.
Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo — 8.7/10 · From €170/night Traditional Japanese hospitality steps from Tokyo Station, with rooms big enough to actually unpack.
Palace Hotel Tokyo — 9.2/10 · From €395/night Overlooks the Imperial Palace gardens. If it's a once-in-a-while trip, this is the one to splash out on.
🎯 What to Do
Tokyo runs on contrast: ancient shrines two streets from neon towers.
TeamLab Planets — Walk barefoot through immersive light, water and flower installations unlike anything else in the world. Watch a sumo training session — See the sport up close in Ryogoku, Tokyo's sumo heartland. Shibuya izakaya crawl — Small plates, cold beer and the best people-watching in the city, all in one night. Shibuya Sky observation deck — Open-air views over the entire city from 229 metres up, best at sunset.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Tokyo is also the easiest base in Japan for exploring further afield.
Kamakura — Zen temples and the Great Buddha, about an hour away on the Yokosuka Line. Hakone — Hot springs, lake cruises and Mount Fuji views, roughly two hours via the Romancecar. Nikko — Japan's most ornate shrines, under two hours from Asakusa on the Tobu Line. Kyoto — Temples, geisha districts and Japan's old capital, 2.5 hours by shinkansen and worth an overnight stay.
