How To Reach Japan

If you’re keen on visiting Japan, there are mostly only two ways how to reach Japan from India.

Flying to Tokyo or Osaka is the simpler and more convenient option. Dozens of flights leave from Delhi and Mumbai for Japan every week, and considering India to Japan distance, they’re relatively cheap. The more expensive option is travelling to Singapore or Taiwan and taking a cruise ride to Japan. We’ve detailed both ways to travel to Japan down below.

How To Reach Japan By Flight

The best and the only sensible way to quickly reach Japan is by air. Several connecting and direct flights operate between India and Japan. The average India to Japan distance by flight is around 5960 km. Japan is well-connected by air routes to India and the rest of the world. All major global airlines service the route. As such, flights are frequent and, in many cases, quite cheap. You can find direct flight connectivity from Delhi and Mumbai only, whereas you will get connecting flights from other cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, etc. The primary international airports in Japan are Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, and Kansai Airport (Osaka International Airport). Narita and Haneda Airports are close to Tokyo, while Kansai Airport serves the Osaka region. Narita Airport is about 85 km from Tokyo, and you can reach the city by shuttles, buses, low-cost taxis, and trains. Haneda Airport is much closer, at 22 km, and you can take trains, buses, monorail, and taxis. Kansai also lies 48 km from Central Osaka, and you can take the train service to reach the city in under an hour. Travelling by air is one of the most convenient ways how to reach Japan. You can cover India to Japan distance in about 6 to 7 hours on a direct flight and 10-15 hours on a connecting flight.

How To Reach Japan By Sea

Another way how to go to Japan is by the Sea. There are no direct sea routes from India. But if you’re visiting Singapore, China, South Korea, or Taiwan on your pan-Asia trip, you can take a cruise to Japan. Travelling by sea can be relatively expensive, but it is a one-of-a-kind experience. A weekly ferry service runs from Taiwan and Shanghai in China to Japan. The journey takes between 20 hours to two days. As many as eight ferries run between Busan, South Korea, to Kyushu, an island in Japan. Travelling by the waterways is a more luxurious and leisurely way how to go to Japan.

How To Reach Japan By Train

There is no direct way to travel from India to Japan by train. Japan is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, so it’s not connected via train network to other countries. Similarly, there’s no way to cover India to Japan distance by road either. The best way how to go to Japan is by air. However, Japan has an excellent domestic railway network known for its speed, reliability, and punctuality. You’ll find Tokyo Metro, commuter trains, regional rail lines, and the Shinkansen (bullet trains). Obtain a Japan Rail Pass valid on all trains, buses, and ferries within Japan.

The only and the best way to reach Japan is by air. A number of connecting as well as direct flights operate from India to Japan. The major airports in Japan are Osaka International Airport, Narita Airport, Haneda and Kansai Airports. Most of the flights arrive at Haneda Airport in Tokyo from India. India to Japan flight distance is approx. 5968 km and it takes around 5 to 6 hours to reach Japan from India. Direct flight connectivity is from Delhi only whereas you will get connecting flights from other cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai etc.

There is no direct connectivity between India and Japan by train. As it is an island country located in Pacific Ocean and India being in Indian Ocean, there is no possibility of rail network from India to Japan. However, Japan has one of the best rail networks in the world comprising of bullet trains. So, traveling within Japan by train is possible and a great way to commute between different cities in Japan.

Being located in the Pacific Ocean and being an island country, it is not possible to reach Japan by road from India. The only way to get there is by taking a flight and it is also the most convenient method to reach Japan. The inter road connectivity in Japan is pretty good and cabs and local buses can be hired for commuting within Japan.

Another way to travel to Japan from India is by taking a cruise ride via sea. However, there is no direct cruises available from India. One needs to get to Singapore or China first and then take a cruise ride which will take you to Japan. It is time consuming but offers a great luxurious experience to the travelers.

Anita's 6 days trip to Japan

The services of the travel agent - Street Romeo was excellent . Very professional and took care of everything. The involvement of TT was limited. A lot of repeated automated mails from TT and quotes that keep coming long after the trip is over. The service could be more personal.

Manisa Mishra Hyderabad

Rashmi's 6 days trip to Japan

We went to Japan for a family vacation through Wanderbird. Raunak and his team customised the perfect itinerary for us and made sure that we had a seamless experience. Raunak was always available for every little query before the trip and even when we were in Japan we could reach out to him anytime. It’s one of the most memorable trips that we have had and a major reason for that is the guidance and assistance received from Raunak. Wherever we go next, it has to be through Wanderbird. Keep up the good work.

She took personal interest in my case and daily she used to talk to my twice daily regarding my itenery. She did it because I am a senior citizen and solo Traveller.

Aradhanapia's 13 days trip to Japan

Thanks for a nice trip. There were many positives and nice / polite helps which enables this marvelous trip. If you want an appreciation mail, We can give a detailed one separately. In this mail we are concentrating on improvement points. There were several errors and faults/gaps that could have been easily avoided. Overall we would like to rate the trip as 3.8 out of 5 scale regarding your help and service. The points to be noted. 1 ) In the bus from Haneda airport the driver asked " which Apa hotel you are going ? ... There are many Apa Hotels ? You should have told us ( Aradhana Family and the driver ) that the Apa Hotel near Nishi Shinjuku Gochome station is where we are going. I am attaching a screenshot from google maps in this discussion. You can help your customers with these kind of screen shot maps. As we were not sure, the driver found out with lot of trying with Japanese maps. 2 ) In Haneda airport we were busy locating the driver and searching for data card, so that we can establish communication. The condition that Tokyo metro pass can be activated only from Haneda airport was a big error choice from your side. We missed that and lost that pass fully. Metro train pass can be easily bought anywhere. You should have left that option to us, in case the driver did not turn up. 3 ) For Tokyo tour the bases leaves from a building next to Shinjuku police station. The police station is very prominently known by all. While searching " Love Building " or Love sign or Love statue in front of some building we realized that almost everyone does not speak English, nor there is any building named as " Love Building ". It was 1 chome Building and on the Footpath LOVE is made by structure. 3 ) At Toyoma no one speaks English. The Boys and Girls, Men and Women in Hotel counter also do not speak English. There was big confusion to realize that our rooms were booked the Number to Annex building 1/2 km away in Toyoko Inn Hotel chain and not in the main one near the station. If it was in the building near the station it would have been only 1 km walk with lots of luggage. We had to walk 1/2 km more. There was no lock in the bathrooms of the rooms to Toyoko Inn Hotel ( annex 2 ). These kind of rooms are dangerous as can cause major misunderstanding is someone enters the bathroom, while someone else is using it. 4 ) At Nagoa The Red Planet Hotel was very nice. But very far from Main Railway station. You should have advised us to go to the Hotel by Taxi from Station. We took train to a small station and then walked more than 2 km with luggage, as we were not sure of the best choices. 5 ) In general try to communicate to people with description of multiple landmarks. Your decision of sending our passports to Bangalore office after being rejected from Delhi should have been told to us. We were not aware of these decisions taken by you. We came to know about Visa delay very late. As per our understanding of dates, you sat on our passport, without any action for almost 1 week,( at Gurgaon ) and then rushed around. This is the main reason why we rated your service as 3.8 out of 5. Thanks and Regards Aradhana and Subhashish
