The school holidays start in Mid July in Japan so flights could get busier out of Japan after mid July to end of August.
Very good point, we're planning to fly out first week of June and come back first week of July. 4 weeks to 5 weeks maximum. We have complete flexibility during June and July, just we can't go in May and we can't come back too late in August due to kids school starting around Aug 20th. Last day of school is June 1 2018.
