You leave Madrid at 20:20 and land at Narita at 18:30 the next day, after 14h10 in the air. The flight home leaves Narita at 22:10 and lands in Madrid at 05:45 the following morning. The Básica fare includes hand luggage only: a checked bag costs extra. Other dates in January cost €849 or more.
💰 How far does your money go?
A full bowl of ramen costs €4.50-6.50 in Tokyo, and eight plates at a kaiten-zushi belt come to around €5. A sit-down dinner with drinks at an izakaya runs €16-26, less than two rondas on a Madrid terrace. A metro ride costs about €1.20, cheaper than a single ticket in Madrid.
☀️ The Weather
January is the driest month of the year in Tokyo. Expect sunny days of 9-10°C, cold nights around 1-2°C and very little rain. The air is clear, so it is the best time of year to see Mount Fuji from the city. Pack a warm coat for the evenings.
🏨 Where to Stay
Three ways to base yourself in the city, from Shinjuku's neon core to quiet luxury.
Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main · 8.2/10 · From €85/night
Reliable, central and a five-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, a clean base between days out.
Hotel Gracery Shinjuku · 9.0/10 · From €135/night
Right above Kabukicho, with the giant Godzilla head on the terrace and the best ramen and izakaya in the district on the doorstep.
Park Hyatt Tokyo · 9.1/10 · From €340/night
Skyline views from every room and quiet, careful service that makes the jet lag disappear. The one to splurge on.
