China Southern: Perth/Melbourne/Sydney to Tokyo $588/$646/$656 return, Osaka $587/$731/$656 Return (including cherry blossom season)
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!
The cherry blossom or sakura is never perfectly predictable, but some early predictions are below:
