Tokyo is one of the most volatile long-haul routes out of Portland. Normal fares sit north of $1,170, but airlines misprice it a few times a year, and when they do, the window is measured in hours. We watch it all week so you don't have to.

Jay's pick · Tokyo

Head straight to the basement food hall at Isetan. It's a full city block of the best food in Japan, and dinner costs less than a Portland food cart.
