Use the multi city option to add domestic flights. I checked Sydney/Tokyo with Tokyo/Osaka return and it came out to $1000.

It is especially late march when the cherry blossoms bloom
Just before cherry blossom peak travel periods. Maybe not that busy but probably still cold.
Tokyo Marathon is 3 March so within travel dates, not easy to get entry tho.
Feb good for snow season too
Playing around on google flights the latest I can see for around this price is leaving 14 March - returning 14 April for Tokyo, Osaka and Sapporo. Possibly other cities too.
Anything from Melbourne?
ANA doesn't fly to Melbourne. Best non-stop flights I can find are around $1200-$1300 Qantas return Tokyo for many dates during March - June
ANA don't fly directly to Melbourne. What you could do I guess is book on ANA Sydney to Tokyo return, then book a separate Melbourne to Sydney return flight - you'd need to pick up your bags if you have any check in luggage at Sydney and then re-check them in for the legs to Tokyo and coming back from Sydney to Melb though. Unfortunately, putting Melbourne as your starting point on the ANA site has the price quite expensive. As an example (using dates Feb 5 to Mar 5):
- Melb to Tokyo on ANA: $2101.04
- Syd to Tokyo on ANA: $992.46
No domestic flight costs that difference. Alternatively, go by Qantas or JAL direct from Melbourne, albeit you'd fly into Tokyo Narita, not Haneda…or if you don't mind stopovers elsewhere, go with Singapore Airlines?
I am a bit confused about how this works?
So I book say Syd to Tokyo and I need to book a separate domestic flight booking say from Tokyo to Osaka return?
How will they issue the refund?
Click on the ''Click Here to Search for Flight Tickets / Flight Awards for Multiple Cities'' link at the very bottom of the search box. Just under the blue 'Find Flights' box.
Example search:
Flight 1: Syd - Tokyo March 11
Flight 2: Osaka - Syd April 11Ah right. So the flight from Syd to osaka is covered in the same price?
Yeah that's right for flight 1 you could change it to Syd - Osaka and it'd be about the same price.
The domestic flights don't have to be on the same day. You can go to another city later in your trip e.g. spend a few days in Tokyo then go to Osaka, then back to Tokyo when you are leaving.
How many domestic flights?
Just 1 (or 1 return at least i would assume at the least).
Or can I book something like Sydney-Tokyo-Sapporo-Osaka-Fukuoka-Tokyo-Sydney and just have my in country travel basically sorted?
That'd be pretty damn nice, especially with the JR pass being so much nowadays.Just 1. I tried your itinerary over a 1 month period (Feb 5 to Mar 5, with generally 5 days to a week between each section) and it came out at just over $2000. With just Sapporo as the only domestic destination, it was just over $1000.
ANA compared to Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific which were around the same price last time I checked? Obviously need to pay for domestic travel though
Service is good on all. Singapore and Cathay won't be direct of course.
If you're flying just the direct SYD-HND route then go ANA.
If you're intending to connect to elsewhere in Japan then transit in Singapore. An international connection is easier and you can just go gate to gate in Singapore, instead of immigration then baggage then customs then change terminals then check in for domestic flight. International connect also allows for a shorter layover than international to domestic.
Needing something for October 24. Might have missed the plane
Is feb-march a good period to travel?
