Dang, last time I went home it was something like 170,000 yen (but that was at Obon - had no choice).
So I looked on the No. 1 Travel site, and it seems that JAL flights to Vancouver (LA is about the same) around 40,000 - 50,000 yen through Dec/Jan - WTF?
Then I noticed the fine print: This price is only an airline ticket price. Fuel surcharge is not included. >>>Detail (Japanese.)
Aha... 44,000 for the flight, plus 42,000 fuel surcharge is still half what it used to be.
Is this right? I guess the high yen has something to do with it, but it still feels a lot cheaper than it used to be.
