Swim.
Alternatively, look for a cheap flight (unlikely during the summer holiday) on places like whypaymore or 072.com or the airline websites directly (jin air, jeju air, ana, etc).
North American/western travel websites are pretty much useless for cheap seats in Asia.
Another option is to take the ferry from Busan to Japan then rail/bus to Tokyo. A bit cheaper but way slower if you only have a weekend.
You'd be better off waiting till school goes back in and book a real weekend trip.

| Personally, I wouldn't go to Japan for any time less than two weeks. From my experience, you're going to need your first week just to be able to adjust over there. Also, there's a LOT of things to see and do in Japan. I think if you go there for a weekend, you're going to wish you had stayed longer. |

Adjust?
If you have lived in Korea for a while, going to Japan is not a huge adjustment. When we lived in Busan, we went to Japan a few times (my brother lives there) and we often took a weekend trip there (fast boat from Busan to Fukoka, flights from gimhea to Osaka or Tokyo) and had a pretty good time. |

| Yeah, I don't know what he meant by adjust, unless he meant adjusting to cleaner streets, delicious food and overpriced everything. That doesn't require 2 weeks for most folks. |

Air-Asia
Incheon > Tokyo direct for around 200,000 including taxes. |

Overpriced "THEY HAVE" everything, you mean.
I always drop so much coin on my weekend trips. |

Hey, having traffic drive the opposite direction can be pretty disorienting! |

| Peach can be dirt cheap to Osaka, 59,000 each way. Then you can just buy another set of tickets to Tokyo for like 80 each way. |
