If you've never been, I highly recommend.
I suggest getting the unlimited rail pass if you plan on doing lots of traveling around, and you plan on taking the bullet train. (you need to purchase this before you arrive there)
Make sure to also rent a LTE wifi hotspot so you can use your phone everywhere for Google maps + translate etc.

One of the site that Google lists to book for the $788 is Gotogate. Has anyone used them before?
Another option is American Airlines but the price a bit higher ($853). All three legs of the trip are through JAL flights.
Yes, I did use GoToGate once and I had to cancel because Morroco closed its air space. I had taken the GoToGate insurance so I got a refund with fewer Fees (?) or no fee. As with all Online Travel Agency though, the time wait on the phone was hours to get through. I always try to avoid OTAs when I can and book directly with the airline if the difference is reasonable. But if you must, book with GoToGate, CheapoAir or FlightNetwork.

I booked directly through JAL. Cost went up to $801/pp but I'd rather deal directly with the airline than 3rd party. Could select my seats and everything for free.
From my understanding Canadians don't need a visa for Japan and only 3 doses OR covid test 72 hours prior to arrival is required. For Vietnam you need an easy to get e-visa (online) and no covid restrictions at all.
Can anyone confirm if I am correct or if am I missing something?

Why did I need to rent a hotspot?? Can't I just use my phone with a local sim?
Not GTA but the A/C HK & Japan deal works from Ottawa and Montreal.
Notice how Air Canada dropped their 2 check in bags now down to 1 check in bag. They (greedy b**tards) want to make you pay for that 2nd bag that was previously included in the price of long haul flights.
