FAQ — San Francisco to Tokyo Flights

ANA All Nippon Airways, United Airlines, and Japan Airlines (JAL) operate non-stop flights between San Francisco SFO and Tokyo (Narita NRT and/or Haneda HND). Zipair (JAL's low-cost subsidiary) also operates SFO–NRT with very competitive economy fares.

Non-stop flights from San Francisco SFO to Tokyo NRT or HND take approximately 11 to 12 hours westbound. The return flight from Tokyo to San Francisco is typically 9.5 to 10.5 hours eastbound due to favorable jet stream tailwinds.

ANA The Room is widely rated as one of the world's top two or three business class products. Each suite features a sliding door for complete privacy, a fully flat bed, 4K personal monitor, Japanese precision service, and exceptional cuisine combining Japanese and Western menus. For an 11–12 hour flight, The Room is a genuinely exceptional travel experience.

January, February, and late June to early July (avoiding Golden Week in Japan, late April to early May) typically offer the most competitive SFO–Tokyo fares. Avoid cherry blossom season (late March to mid-April) and autumn peak (October–November) for lower prices. Book 8–12 weeks in advance for best Business Class availability.

US citizens do not require a visa to visit Japan for stays of up to 90 days. However, Japan requires visitors to complete an online pre-registration via the Japan Electronic Travel Authorization (Visit Japan Web) before arrival. Always check the latest Japanese entry requirements and health guidelines before travel.
