Do Indians need a visa for Japan?

The visa fee for Indians is only ₹500 for single or multiple entry, plus VFS service charges, and you can apply up to 3 months before travel. Eligible applicants receive an eVISA. We help you prepare the itinerary and hotel documents.

When is the best time to visit Japan?

Late March to early April brings the cherry blossoms, and October to November the autumn colours – both are busy, so book early. Winter is good for snow in Hokkaido, and summer is hot and humid.

How many days are enough for Japan?

6 to 7 nights covers Tokyo, Mount Fuji or Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka. With 9 to 10 nights you can add Hiroshima, Nara or more time in Tokyo.
