You are allowed a personal item that fits under the seat in front of you, weighing up to 15 lbs. And honestly, 15 lbs packs a lot if you leave your laptop at home. There is FREE wifi onboard throughout the entire flight. Some might say it never worked for them but it does, you'll have to scan the QR code on the back of the seat in front of you and then connect. In-flight food may be purchased in advance or onboard, based on availability....costs about $11 for a hot meal. You'll need 2 because outbound flight is about 11 hrs and return is about 9 hrs. Easy-peasy flight if you fall asleep.

They will absolutely weigh your carry ons. All of them. 8kg limit isn't only for stowed carrying, also includes personal item.
Yes, hotels are all booked up because the only time of the year Japanese can take vacation and travel. Probably a good choice if you didn't already have a place to stay in advance.
Yes, I know you have to put special meal requests in advance for flights, so I expected same for any meal requests for Zip Air.
For anyone travelling to Japan this is ridiculous especially for the flight back, like any budget carrier they are going to nickel and dime you for anything and everything else. So end result will not be a flight cut in half for cost but rather a small fraction plus a lot of frustration.

Some people may misunderstand if you say "clothes sold on the street" because there are no street vendors selling clothes on the actual streets in Japan, like you may see on streets in New York City or other Asian countries. You meant "clothes sold at retail locations other than airport". I do not believe the stores have higher prices at the airport locations compared to their retail locations in Japan. I didn't feel restaurants or convince stores at the airport have higher prices at Japanese airports like you may see at airports in the US, either.
I was surprised to see a bookstore and an electronic store at Haneda Airport (main airport building before security checkpoint) closed at 5pm or 6pm on Sunday when we were there last summer. I know it was Sunday but the airport was busy and I felt they should have stayed open until 7pm or 8pm. Or I am too used to "American hours".
New Year (typically 12/29 - 1/4)
Golden Week (4/29 - 5/5)
Obon (typically 8/11 - 8/14, but in some years it can be as long as 8/10 - 8/16)
Also, depending upon the year, Japan has as many as 22 national holidays in a year, 16 of which are fixed, and the other off days are alternates for the national holidays falling on a Sunday. If a national holiday is contiguous with a weekend, that long weekend often turns into a busy travel period if not as busy as the above-mentioned peak periods.

This is pretty accurate. Obon and golden week are the only guaranteed days that everyone gets off. New Year's most people take personal time to be with family. But basically any national holiday is usually around a weekend and everyone makes use of any three to four day vacations
Yep not there anymore. $533 was the lowest I saw
Take this year's Golden Week which has a hole in the middle because April 30, May 1 and 2 are not national holidays. Although many organizations will plug in the donut hole and shut down on these days too, a substantial portion will not. The government offices and banks, for instance, will be fully open on these days. Millions of people will go to work on one or more of those days during the Golden Week.
For the New Year, due to the fact that the government offices, from federal to local, close between December 29 and January 3 and banks all close between December 31 and January 3 (the banks' closure is a legal mandate), many businesses and organizations follow this and give their employees time off (they don't have to because this is not guaranteed, but they usually do). The exceptions are again the service, retail and logistics sectors that may have just January 1 off and go back to work on January 2. People do not take their personal time off around this time because it is either that your workplace is closed, or you MUST show up. If their employers are generous, they may let you extend the New Year (Golden Week/Obon) holidays using your PTO, but as you will see below, this is not easy to do.
As far as the guaranteed time off is concerned, even though many Japanese workers would say that this is only academic and not based on reality, the law guarantees a PTO of 10 days for having continuously worked for the same employer for six months (there are other conditions to meet). If someone works for the same employer for six years and six months (and meets other conditions), then guaranteed 20 days' PTO accrues. However, as you may know, whereas the PTO accrual is guaranteed by law, actually using the PTO is another thing. It's a major pain in the a** to take the time off in Japan unless a special event like a wedding or funeral is involved. People often 'kill' their relatives to qualify for a PTO, and as such, some relatives have a tendency of rising from the dead multiple times.
