Can you confirm when the cheapest air fares to Japan are available throughout the year and when do you have the best special offers?

January is usually best!

Like many shops, airlines also have a selection of discounted fares throughout January. As people generally travel in the summer, booking in advance by many months guarantees the best availability and prices.

What about the rest of the year?

Like January, February also offers a good range of cheap flights due to bookings being made well in advance for the summer months. May is also a good time for airline companies to get out a quick special offer before the summer and November also has a lot of special deals as the summer season is over.
