Fares are dependent on availability and seasonality – as a general rule, prices are the highest in the summer months, and you can save a considerable amount of money if you book two weeks prior to your flight. Flights to the mainland range from ¥15, 000 to ¥40, 000 while inter-island flights are typically ¥10, 000 to ¥20, 000.
