Europe -> Japan (cheapest fare)

I am living in Finland, and looking for cheapest return air-ticket to Japan.

Is there any place nearby Finland (or from Germany) I can fly from?

Any alternate experiences, suggestions etc?

Only thing I can think of it try expedia web site, Ive used them a few
times and saved some dosh, plus a little swapping and changing routes to
get you there can result in some savings.. I have had a return flight to
usa for under 200 quid from uk, but got to be prepared to grab when you
find a good price...

Hope helps

Because airlines want cream off passengers living outside of their home
countries, they offer lower fares than they do to their compatriots (called
sixth freedom right). So Helsinki-Tokyo on Finnair will often be cheaper for
UK residents flying UK-HEL-NRT-HEL-UK than straightforward HEL-NRT return.
So you may want to try HE via FAR or MUCH, KIM via AMES, SK via CHB or AF
via COG. Best to contact a consolidator in your country. As a guide, you can
usually find something from £400 (570?) in low season and £500 (715?) in
high, tax inclusive.
