Cheap Flights from Shenzhen to Tokyo — $157

Tokyo is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT), located about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, functions as the primary international gateway for long-haul carriers and full-service airlines; it typically handles most intercontinental flights and can be perceived as mid-to-high in fare compared with low-cost options. Access to central Tokyo is usually by Narita Express or Keisei Skyliner trains (roughly 55–90 minutes, fares commonly in the mid-range), plus airport buses and taxis that may take 60–120 minutes depending on traffic. Narita’s strengths include extensive international connections and a wide range of passenger facilities, while drawbacks can be the longer transfer time and occasional higher local transport cost. Haneda Airport (HND), closer to the city center at about 14–20 km south of central Tokyo, typically serves many domestic flights and an increasing share of international services, often attracting full-service and low-cost carriers for short-haul routes. Travel to downtown can be quite quick by Tokyo Monorail or Keikyu Line (roughly 15–30 minutes, fares usually lower than long-distance options) as well as airport buses and taxis that are faster but costlier. Haneda’s advantages are convenience and shorter surface travel times, though it can be busier and sometimes pricier for premium transfer options; travelers balancing time versus fares often prefer Haneda for tight schedules.

The route Shenzhen — Tokyo is served by many carriers — 12 in total, including Air China, Shenzhen Airlines, All Nippon Airways, China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Spring Airlines, AirAsia, Juneyao Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Korean Air, Xiamen Airlines, and Thai Lion Air.

Fly direct from Shenzhen to Tokyo for the quickest, most convenient way to reach Japan’s bustling capital — less hassle, no layovers, and more time to enjoy the city. While connecting itineraries can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and delivers a more comfortable travel experience, making it ideal for business trips or short getaways.

Shenzhen Bao’an International (SZX) is the city’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines serving domestic and regional routes across China, East Asia and beyond. The airport sits around 32–40 km northwest of central Shenzhen; journey times vary from about 35–60 minutes by express metro line or 40–70 minutes by car depending on traffic, with fares generally ranging from modest metro ticket prices to mid-range taxi/ride-hail fares. A second, smaller airport (Shekou/Wenjindu is more of a general aviation and ferry-linked facility) can be used for niche services. Pros: modern terminals, good international connections; cons: travel to downtown can be lengthy at peak times and costs can rise with taxis.

In different months, ticket prices from Shenzhen to Tokyo vary: minimum — $133 (December 2025), maximum — $272 (April 2026). Typically, the flight costs $175–$194.
