Episode Information

"Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo" is the 23rd and final episode of the Simpsons' tenth season.
Plot
When the family gets cyber-robbed, there is no money left for their family vacation. They go to a savings seminar to help with their problems, and find out that they can get cheap plane tickets to anywhere when there isn't anyone occupying the seats. The flight they get onto (screwing over the Flandereses) is heading for Tokyo, Japan.
They start buying various things that cost a fortune there. Lisa wants to do something Japanese but Homer and Bart blatantly refuse, and would rather ignore the wonders of another culture, running off when Lisa suggests something traditional. After visiting America Town, an American-themed restaurant, they are forced to go to the Sumo fights, where Homer is arrested for attacking the emperor (he thought he was a sumo wrestler). After being freed from prison (where Homer and Bart learn of Japanese culture), the Simpson family is down to their last 1 million Yen, which they need to get home. Homer folds a flying crane origami to show Lisa "something Japanese", which is then blown away in the wind.
They try to earn money by gutting fish at the Osaka Fish Concern. While working, they see on the work TV an advert for the Super Happy Smile Time Family Wish Show, which grants the winners anything they wish for.
They go on the game show to win plane tickets back to Springfield, but to get them in the final round, the Simpsons have to grab them off a bridge that's suspended above a volcano. Meanwhile back in Springfield, Moe sees Homer on TV and he, Lenny, and Carl find out Barney was putting beers on Homer's tab. Back in Japan, the Simpsons get the tickets, but fall in the lava, which turns out to be Orangeade loaded with Wasabi. When taking off for their return trip home, the Simpsons' plane is attacked by Godzilla, who happens to also be battling Rodan and Mothra, among others. Their plane wriggles free, and they return to Springfield without further incident.
