Cached-fare history: across 9 months, Sep is the cheapest for AUH → TYO. Best time to be there: Mar–May · Oct–Nov.
Fares bottom out in September around $751 and peak in April near $1,273 — a $522 spread across the 9 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 16 hours outbound, on a 10-night trip — ticketed under Air India Express, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $751 for 8,051 km each way, that works out to about $47 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 22 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Tokyo, this fare ranks 14th — 51% above the $496 from San Francisco. For context, the middle fare among the 13 routes of similar length we watch out of Abu Dhabi is $553.

AUH → TYO, answered.
Is $751 a good price for Abu Dhabi to Tokyo?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $915 round-trip and this fare is 18% under it, about $164. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Abu Dhabi to Tokyo?
Across 9 months of cached-fare history, Sep comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Tokyo are Mar–May · Oct–Nov — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book AUH → Tokyo?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 9 months of cached fares, Sep comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Abu Dhabi to Tokyo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air India Express. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
