Something to bear in mind re flight prices the seasonality periods that the airlines use can be different to say the US. So often you might find a slight shift of date can result in a much higher/lower fare.

When not over there working (pre-Covid) I've had holiday time when I've had to shift from, for instance, Kyoto to Osaka because as the Kyoto Tourist Board office in the Central Station so kindly put it on a notice stuck to their entrance door "KYOTO FULL" - that was in early November one year.
