FAQs for booking flights from Canada to Japan

  • Are there direct flights to Japan?

    Several Canadian and Japanese carriers such as Air Canada, ANA and Japan Airlines offer direct flights to Japan, with the vast majority flying into Tokyo's two international airports, Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND). Air Canada seasonally offers direct flights from Vancouver International Airport to Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Osaka.

  • Do I need a visa to visit Japan?

    Canadian citizens do not need a visa if they enter Japan as a tourist and their stay does not exceed 90 days. Upon arrival, you must present a passport that is valid for the entire duration of your stay as well as proof of onward or return travel, such as an airline ticket and confirmed accommodation.

  • Where should I fly to in Japan?

    Japan is an island state and many major cities have their own airport, so your choice of airport will depend on your travel itinerary. As the majority of international flights arrive at one of Tokyo's international airports, the capital might be the perfect starting point for your journey. You can either catch a connecting flight to other regions of the country or travel onwards by rail as Japan has an extremely well-developed railway network, including the Shinkansen high-speed bullet trains which conveniently connect major cities in Japan.

  • I want to visit Mount Fuji and the Five Lakes region. Where should I fly into?

    The Five Lakes region is located in Yamanashi prefecture and is easily accessible from Tokyo. As the region is to the east of Tokyo, Haneda Airport is slightly closer and provides an easier and faster access to the busses or trains that depart from Shinjuku station and take you to Kawaguchiko, the closest station to Mount Fuji. If you prefer to fly to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, you can catch the Narita Express train which also goes to Kawaguchiko.

  • How simple is it to fly to Japan with kids from Canadian airports?

    To lessen the possibility that your kids would become fatigued throughout the Canada to Japan journey, think about making reservations with airlines that provide free internet connectivity.

Your kids can watch their favorite animated networks or TV shows by using the internet services offered by these carriers, which lessens boredom.

At Ryogoku Kokugikan Stadium, Japan National Stadium, and National Yoyogi Stadium, you may watch your preferred local soccer matches, especially on the weekends.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of Canada

  • Japan is famous for its cherry blossom season, which occurs in major cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka at the end of April or the beginning of May. Be aware that airfares tend to rise sharply during this period.
  • "Golden Week" is a cluster of 4 national holidays that occur at the end of April, lasting until the beginning of May. As many Japanese nationals take a vacation during this period, domestic airfares and train tickets tend to increase in price at this time.

The flight crew was outstanding. Very cheerful and always respectful. I wish the same could be said about United. The AC wasn't the best on the plane.

8.0 ExcellentPaul, Jul 2025CGK - NRT

The flight crew was outstanding. Very cheerful and always respectful. I wish the same could be said about United. The AC wasn't the best on the plane.

The seats are uncomfortable. The flight attendants are not pleasant. They do their job, but not with a ray of sunshine and warmth. The food was awful, not what I would expect from an Asian airline. All of the other Asian airlines I have flown have far better food. The food was on par with United airlines food, which is really bad. Maybe ANA should get out of the alliance with United.

During booking, I selected the seats so that my wife and I would sit next to each other. However, the airline changed our seats at boarding so that we were seated apart. Very disappointing.

Every leg of the flight was late causing us to miss our flight to Okinawa and have to take the next flight out.

One of the best 14 hour flights I've ever had. Crew was friendly throughout which can be difficult on longer flights. The crew being kind and respectful is very important for me. Plane felt clean and I was able to get some well needed uninterrupted sleep. I put them slightly above Cathay Pacific as far as cleanliness the only down side was a lack of entertainment selections, but hey I am an American taking a trip on a Japanese airline so I cannot complain. Thank you ANA and the Tokyo airport all very friendly. Will see you soon

ANA gave me an amazing experience. They are very good with customer service.

Everything was good may improve some alcohol drinks and amenities during fly

Due to turbulence there was no inflight service, which is very understandable, The flight is very short, and safety is more important. There was a bit of a delay with take off, but was to be expected with the rain.

The crew was amazing, really friendly and efficient. One of the best flights I have ever been on. They made the long flight comfortable and I noticed there were two birthdays on the flight. They gave to customers birthday cards and wished them a happy birthday. That was very nice to see.

Everything was great. Wifi was down,but that didn't matter to me.

Easy to board and fly, no frills. Yummy ramen on board.

It was for the most part a 10/10 they said they had entertainment options but all they had was old movies for streaming from the mid 2010’s so like 10 years ago

all good for a very budget flight - well priced and excellent service. Will fly again

Couple of the crew members were really nice and the rest are really rude and didn't help when we needed help, food was not worth it at all and most importantly there's no even entertainment system other than a very interruptive and slow internet and some movies.

I appreciate the economy price of the tickets. The long flight made the comfort level on the lower average side. Wi-Fi connection was not consistent but working. Overall, I would fly again with zip air but next time get the flat, premium seats with the amount of money I would save otherwise.

Comfortable seats and lucky no one was in middle seat. No water on the plane. Plane was on time and staff was fast.

You get what you pay for and nothing more. Wanted a cheap flight and that’s exactly what I got, though it’s human nature to wanting to feel like you got a good deal as well. There was none of that here. I was cheap and they were too. Got to my destination safely and that’s all that really matters.

Nice service. I wish it could provide hot water on the flight.

internet didn't work. No offer of drinks or snacks.

Flight was seamless. Free wifi helped pass the time. Food was okay, just make sure you pre order or pick something up from the airport

It was all good flight was on time, service was good I enjoyed a few movies and everything was smooth

Efficient, calm when things were delayed and kept us regularly informed of what was happening.

Airbus plane, nice and polite staff, entertainment even as it was a short flight.

Very nice and clean plane. Transit time between flights was tight though

Our flights got changed from United to Air Canada and our purchased seats did not get transferred so we had to pay for seats twice. I brought it up with Air Canada and they stated I had to go back and chase it with United. The united seats were $21 Canadian each and Air Canada were $56 each so we have paid $77 for each seat. Very unhappy

So far so good but food and entertainment are not available for this flight

For economy, it was very good. Staff was great, they even let some of us change seats for more leg room... Put an empty seat between us which was fantastic for a 12hr flight. Onboard entertainment was excellent, I think over 200 choices of movies/tv/etc The bad was the barely/nonfunctional wifi that cost either $16.99 or 1700 miles (full flight). It was atrocious... Definitely the worst of the last 3 long haul major airlines I was on the last few months.

Plane temperature was comfortable (not to hot) when boarding and waiting for takeoff.

Seats were comfortable. It’s was so cold and very uncomfortable. I paid 2000 miles for wifi service that was choppy the whole flight. Would like to be reimbursed for my miles Food was so disappointing. Three cold and terrible meals for $3000 round trip. This needs to be better.

Michael, our FA was very attentive, even finding me a chocolate brownie from economy class when the dessert selections were all dairy based. ( intolerant, not allergic so don’t usually need to order dairy free)

7 hour layover was a drag. Free internet on the long leg was great.

Staff were courteous and helpful. The only negative was the flight delays (which are usually unavoidable) and the high baggage price.

From vancouver go calgary nd vice vetsa fligjt was delayed

Absolutely terrible, from the customer service to boarding the plane. On the phone, there was some mishaps with getting in my correct date and they did not help me retrieve a refund or any assistance. I’m gonna be reporting to all my followers and family around the region of Los Angeles to New York.

It was good! Short flight and it was on time!

Could not fly out of Canada. Called airlines on Monday, July 14th. Tried to cancel the flight 7 days away, but they said I could not cancel and there would be no refund.

A little disorganized but overall good. The Delta flights were great though

Price was good. Entertainment and food could have been better

My flight was delayed three times then eventually cancelled the next flight was the following day scheduled for 1030 it was delayed I had to cancel reservations I had to put people up in hotels on the other end as they came out of town to pick me up all at my expense because WestJet couldn’t get it together I’m very disappointed in WestJet’s performance and how they handled the situation Get your customers to where they need to be in a timely fashion, even if that means putting them on your competitors jets Customer service should be number one I will think twice now with booking with WestJet

Staff was nice, helpful, and did all they could. I understand economy seats are bottom of the barrel, but we're crammed in there with others in our row.

Flying in the Dreamliner is always comfortable. Though the food options for Air Canada aren't great.

I did not noticed baggage was separate - I had assumed international flights included luggage, so it surprised me I had to pay to check a bag.

Everything could have been better from the planes not being delayed to the rudeness of staff to it was just horrible will not use kayak again or Air Canada I can't see what would ever change my mind now

Not to out myself as both a child at heart and kind of a terrible person, but the Pokémon safety video was the first time I watched an airplane safety video in like a decade. It was ADORABLE!! A great way to encourage attention from young and old alike.

Business class was not worth the extra charge. Overpriced for slightly larger seat. Nothing special. Small older plane.

Flight got delayed for no reason. And Air Canada was doing 3 boardings via the same gate. It was chaotic!

Bad experience flying with air Canada . Seats not comfortable . Checked bag was delayed and was bought home next day by airport employee. Had to buy toiletries since bag was delayed . No compensation was even suggested . Will not fly air canada again

I n the Toronto airport I had trouble finding my zone. It was 47. I went from Zone 1 to the end of the line.didn't find it. Then saw my zone somewhat by accident over by where you first come in. Signs could be more helpful or more personnel directing people like me.

When I came in the front door in Montreal airport I didn't know where to go, first time traveling. Signs were not directing me.

The AC could have been better . Other than that , all was good
