How to say "times" in Japanese

• 度たびJLPT N3approx.Common
  noun, noun (suffix), counterCounts how many times something happens, as in 'three times' or 'each time'. For the counting sense of 'times' this is the word you want; it tallies occurrences rather than multiplying amounts.
  彼かれは東京とうきょうへ来くるたび私を訪たずねてきた。↗

  He visited me every time he came up to Tokyo.
• タイムズCommon
  nounThe English word 'times' borrowed into Japanese in katakana form. It is seldom the word you want: counting takes 度 and multiplication takes 倍, so タイムズ appears chiefly in proper names.
  ジャパン・タイムズにはその話はなしは載のっていない。↗

  The Japan Times was carrying the story.
• 倍ばいJLPT N4approx.Common
  counterExpresses multiplication: one amount is so many times as much as another, as in 'twice as much' or 'tenfold'. This is the word for the 'times (as much)' sense, not for counting occurrences.
  あの山やまはこの山やまの５倍ばいの高たかさである。↗

  That mountain is five times as high as this one.

Count occurrences with 度 ('three times', 'each time'), express multiplication with 倍 ('three times as much'), and treat 「タイムズ」 as the borrowed English word, seldom the right choice in a Japanese sentence.
