The honest answer to when you should fly Tehran to Tokyo is mostly about weather and demand at the far end. On three years of daily observations at the arrival airport, May-Jun, Oct-Nov gives the most comfortable combination of temperature and rainfall in Tokyo.

Weather in Tokyo, month by month

Averages below come from three full years of daily readings at Tokyo’s main airport, not from a seasonal generalisation. The warmest month is August (average high 32°C), the coolest is January (average low 1°C), and the wettest is June (262 mm).

Packing for the gap: in October, Tokyo averages 23°C against 26°C in Tehran — about 3°C cooler, so pack a layer more than you would at home.

Time difference and jet lag

Tokyo runs 5.5 hours ahead of Tehran. Travelling east is the harder direction to adjust to, so if the trip is short, an early departure that lands in daylight is worth more than a marginally cheaper overnight.

When fares move on this route

We publish observed fares for this route when we have them, and say nothing when we do not — there is no estimate on this page. What holds regardless of the route:

  • The travel date matters more than the booking date. Midweek departures are consistently cheaper than Friday and Sunday, because that is when demand actually sits.
  • Comfortable weather and low fares rarely coincide. May-Jun, Oct-Nov is the pleasant window in Tokyo, which is also when more people want to go. The shoulder weeks either side of it are usually the better value.
  • School holidays and local events override everything. A festival or a public holiday at either end will outweigh any general booking rule.
  • Set an alert rather than watching manually. Fares move at hours you are not looking, and the useful booking window is weeks wide, not days.

Which day to fly

Midweek departures are consistently cheaper than Friday and Sunday on most routes, because that is where demand sits rather than because of any pricing trick. Where we have observed fares for Tehran–Tokyo, the weekday breakdown appears further down this page; where we do not, we leave it out rather than estimate it.
