China Southern is a 4-star airline and hubs through Guangzhou, China to a ton of Asian destinations, including Japan.
These are the best dates I’ve found, but if the dates you want aren’t there, try them anyway as I can’t search every single combination!
Summary:
Melbourne to Tokyo (6 Jan - 26 Jun) from $669 return
Sydney to Tokyo (6 Jan - 26 Jun) from $699 return
Brisbane to Tokyo (6 Jan - 26 Jun) from $690 return
Also compare with Singapore Airlines from all key Aus ports to Tokyo, Osaka or Fukuoka although these were a while back, so some prices may have changed on certain dates/routes.
The cherry blossom or sakura is never perfectly predictable, but some early predictions are below:
