What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Tokyo for May 13 to 23, 2027, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The shrine grounds close to spectators when the main mikoshi depart on Sunday morning; stand on Nakamise-dori instead.
- Asakusa hotels are booked months out for this weekend; Ueno is a ten-minute alternative.
- Haneda to Asakusa is about 40 minutes direct on the Keikyu and Asakusa lines; Narita is about an hour on the Keisei Access line.
