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. Japan Airlines and Qatar Airways are examples of airlines that offer unrestricted internet access between Canada and Japan. Your kids can watch their favorite animated networks or TV shows by using the internet services offered by these carriers, which lessens boredom.

  • If I want to enjoy watching sports in Japan, where should they fly to?

    When visiting Japan, consider flying through Narita International Airport (NRT) if you want to attend local sporting events and gaming-related activities. Tokyo, the nation's capital, is home to the bulk of Japan's stadiums. At Ryogoku Kokugikan Stadium, Japan National Stadium, and National Yoyogi Stadium, you may watch your preferred local soccer matches, especially on the weekends. From NRT Airport, getting to these stadiums is simple thanks to the availability of train system, rental cars, taxis, and buses.

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.
  • If you are planning to travel to several destinations within Japan, consider purchasing a Japan Rail Pass which will give you unlimited access to the bullet trains as well as many busses, subways and ferries. We recommend you purchase it prior to your departure.

Everything was excellent. Only the fish entree in the Japanese meal was overcooked and quite dry but everything else was great

Everything was excellent. Only the fish entree in the Japanese meal was overcooked and quite dry but everything else was great

Great first time experience on this airline. Very professional staff and great service.

Warm the bread. Movies: better choices to include Chinese movies options or some of the older winners of flim festival

I was able to change my flight last minute. It was more expensive, but that was my fault. Thank you for allowing me to fly!

Business class on ANA was awesome. There lie flat seats made it easier to sleep on a 12 hour flight. Food was great and service was excellent.

The crew was very nice and polite. They made sure everybody got their meal and drinks. Even the economy class had a very adequate leg room for someone that is over 6 foot tall.

Overall it was good. Making changes to the reservation on ANA’s website was little challenging. Would like to see those features improved in the future.

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.

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

Overall, it was good. I was seating next to a wonderful lady and did not notice how time flew. Thanks

My flight was delayed about 1 1/2 hours in Chicago, but other then that it was a good flight.

The experience was great, the crew was very polite and hospitable. I will definitely make if my go to airlines.

The flight got cancelled so I don’t know why or what happened. We waited around and didn’t know until so late and they couldn’t really help with anything but had us call the airlines.

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

Do not fly on WestJet if you have a connection. It failed to integrate with my connecting Delta flight and I almost missed it.

The experience was good just the upcharge of over a hundred dollars was not cool.

No internet, not even westjet connect makes for a boring flight

Our first flight from LAX to Winnipeg was changed but you never informed us at all. It went from a nonstop flight to a stay at Calgary. This impacted our trip negatively as we arrived much later than we planned to. Our returning flight was horrible. The flight was delayed 6 hours!! And we were NOT going to wait that long. The only way we got on our original flight was running there. However all of our suitcases were now coming on the delayed flight. It was the worst experience we ever had flying. I want my money back.

Typical Canadian airline experience. Charger and tray were broken, food was poor quality, and yet you're still paying more than flights with equal to better service than elsewhere globally.

Good, a bit cramped in the seat as my neighbour was a bit large

There was a man who was very rude at boarding. On the other hand personal bag measuring box is too small compared to USA airlines,

While I appreciated the food (it was unexpected), it was interruptive for sleeping. We paid extra for reserved seats, but when we checked in they gave us different seats. I had to call WestJet arounf 11:30pm the night before our flight to get this fixed. We were give seats in the emengency row to resolve the issue.

Not enough food option. And not enough advices or information about what we are gonna eat.

Please make more option. And be more precise on the type of food you giving. Diner and breakfast can be different

The experience was satisfactory. The plane was full and took awhile to embark and disembark. On a 4 hour flight, there is not much you can do. my return flight was in the very last row on the plane but was adequate.

Flying with Air Canada is still better than the discount airlines like Flair. The seats are more comfortable and the on-board entertainment is better, with each seat having a built in screen and lots of content to watch. Onboard WIFI is also great to have, as well as plugs for charging. I think passengers in general are getting better at not bringing too much luggage onboard, and Air Canada is better at managing this without customers feeling like they are being taken advantage of with extra fees. I have travelled on different airlines and all seem to be loading faster, with fewer people bringing both a carry on and a personal item. Now I just bring one item and it fits under the seat so I don't need to worry about finding a place in the overhead bins. Overall, across the industry, asking customers to pay for carry on baggage is fair because it allows customers to only pay for what they need, and it helps to keep the planes on time. Kudos to Air Canada for its approach - the desired result is achieved without customers feeling that they are being surprised and caught with unexpected extra fees.

Had to cancel flight due to strike. Hope things will be better next August when we will rebook. Very disappointing as it was our 50th wedding anniversary celebration l!

I’ve wasted 7 hours of my time because of the delayed. ;(

The crew were fabulous. The flight was bumpy and I always like the captain to tell me what that is about or my imagination gets carries away.

Overall great. The crews were lovely. The seats are awful. I always emerge with a back ache.

I liked the behaviour of the crew members.The flight was good.

Would like whole can of pop for 2. Treats were not great . The garlic pretzels were terrible for someone who can't eat garlic. Passenger was 84.

I had boarding pass on my phone. Husband and I were seated together. Agent printed out boarding passes and we were separated for the flight

1 hour late No hot drinks No restroom in the back of the plane
