Updated as of April 2026

Experience the best of Japan without stress, with Thrillophilia’s Japan tour packages, priced from INR 133,500 to INR 350,000 for 6 to 10 days. Every detail, from hotels to Shinkansen tickets, is planned to perfection. With an average rating of 4.8/5 by 3000+ verified reviews and years of handling international itineraries, our focus stays completely on making your experience reliable and not complicated. 

Most travellers prefer our 7-9 day itineraries, as this duration is ideal to comfortably cover major cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka without constant hotel changes. So this is the perfect chance to visit those picturesque landscapes you have been dreaming of seeing since childhood, as Japan offers this and much more. 

The trip usually starts from Tokyo, the capital city and the heart of Japan, where you immediately experience fast-paced city life, advanced infrastructures, neon-lit streets, and temples that date back centuries, all of which exist side by side. With iconic places like Shibuya and Asakusa, your first couple of days in Japan will give you a proper mix of modern and traditional Japanese culture. As you move to Kyoto, the entire pace slows down naturally, as the place is known for its temples, bamboo forests and various heritage streets. Kyoto offers a more immersive Japanese experience. Early morning shrine visits, quiet walks, and cultural activities like tea ceremonies often become the most memorable part of a Kyoto trip. Finally, when you reach Osaka from Kyoto, it brings in a relaxed and lively atmosphere to your trip, and it's a heaven for foodies.

Starting from accommodation (3-star to 5-star hotels) in well-connected areas to local transportation and daily breakfast in hotels, our Japan vacation packages are truly a steal. Some of our packages also include premium traditional stays, adding a unique cultural layer to the trip.

Overall, with Thrillophilia’s packages, your trip to Japan becomes completely stress-free as we plan out everything based on your preferences.

How to Reach Japan - Flights from India

Japan is well connected to India through both direct and one-stop flights, with Tokyo usually being the main arrival point for most travellers. Direct flights are available from Delhi to Tokyo through airlines such as Air India and Japan Airlines, while Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai also offer convenient one-stop options through Singapore, Bangkok, Doha, and Hong Kong.

Most travellers land at Narita International Airport or Haneda Airport in Tokyo, depending on airline schedules and ticket pricing. Haneda is generally preferred because it is closer to central Tokyo and saves transfer time after arrival.

A direct flight from Delhi to Tokyo usually takes around 8 to 9 hours, while one-stop routes may take between 11 and 14 hours, depending on transit duration. Osaka's Kansai International Airport is another common entry point for travellers planning to begin their trip from western Japan.

For Indian travellers, booking flights at least 45 to 60 days in advance usually gives better pricing, especially during cherry blossom season and autumn when demand rises sharply.

Japan Visa for Indians - Requirements And Process

Indian travellers need a tourist visa before travelling to Japan, and the process is generally straightforward when documents are prepared correctly. The application is submitted through VFS centres, and processing usually takes around 5 to 7 working days after submission.

The main documents required include a valid passport, recent passport-size photographs, confirmed flight tickets, hotel bookings, the last six months of bank statements, salary slips or income proof, and a clear day-wise itinerary.

A healthy financial balance is important during visa review, and many successful applications usually show a minimum balance of around INR 1.5 to 2 lakh per traveller.

It is always better to apply at least three weeks before departure, especially during peak travel periods when appointment slots fill faster.

Thrillophilia also assists travellers with document checks and visa guidance so that the process remains smooth from the beginning.

Japan Travel Essentials for Indian Tourists

• Carrying some cash is advisable even though cards are widely accepted in major Japanese cities, as smaller restaurants, local markets, temple counters, and vending machines may not always accept international cards.
• For daily convenience, many travellers keep around JPY 30,000 to 50,000 (INR 17,460 - 29,200) for smaller expenses during the first few days of the trip.
• International cards generally work well at 7-Eleven ATMs and Japan Post Bank, which are considered among the most reliable options for foreign withdrawals.
• Internet access is extremely important in Japan because navigation apps, translation tools, and train schedules are used frequently throughout the day.
• Many travellers prefer using pocket Wi-Fi devices or eSIMs, especially when travelling across multiple cities.
• Japan uses Type A plug points, and although some plugs may fit Indian devices, a universal adapter is recommended because of voltage differences.
• Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended, as even a relaxed sightseeing day in cities like Tokyo or Kyoto often involves long walking distances.

Getting Around Japan - JR Pass, Shinkansen, and IC Cards

Japan’s transport system is one of the most efficient in the world, but for first-time travellers, knowing what to book and when makes a significant difference.

The JR Pass can be useful only when covering multiple long-distance cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima within a short number of days. For travellers planning to visit only Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, point-to-point tickets are often considered better than purchasing a full pass.

A common point travellers miss is that the fastest Shinkansen service, Nozomi, is not fully covered under the standard JR Pass. For pass users, Hikari trains are mostly recommended because they are covered and still offer excellent travel time between major cities.

For local city travel, Suica and Pasmo cards are very practical. These rechargeable IC cards work across metros, buses, vending machines, and even convenience stores in major cities.

It is also important to know that JR Pass purchases are generally smoother when completed before arrival in Japan, as exchange orders and online reservations help avoid last-minute station queues during busy travel periods.

For travellers using only 2–3 cities, our planning team often recommends direct seat-reserved Shinkansen tickets instead of full pass purchases to maintain flexibility and reduce unnecessary cost.

Best Places to Visit On Japan Trip

1. Tokyo – The Vibrant Heartbeat of Japan

Tokyo is usually the starting point of the entire trip and is widely known as the heart of Japan. Most of our Japan itineraries begin here, as the city naturally sets the tone for everything that follows. Spanning a metro population of over 37 million, Tokyo feels immense, yet remarkably organised. Most travellers spend 2–3 days here, which is generally enough to experience both its fast-paced energy and cultural depth.

One of the city’s biggest highlights is Shibuya Crossing, where nearly 2,000–3,000 people cross at once during peak hours. Just a short distance away, famous districts like Shinjuku and Ginza offer a completely different atmosphere, known for exceptional shopping, skyline views, and vibrant nightlife.

At the same time, Tokyo balances its modern pace with historic landmarks such as Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, which attracts over 30 million visitors every year. Observation points like Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree give you a true sense of how vast the city really is. With Thrillophilia, we usually plan your Tokyo stays within 10–15 minutes of metro stations, placing you close to the city’s most lively and well-connected areas. Our structured itineraries ensure you explore Tokyo in detail while travelling with complete ease.

2. Kyoto - The Cultural Soul of Japan

Unlike Tokyo, Kyoto brings in a completely different experience and is usually covered in 2–3 days in most of our itineraries. As Japan’s former capital for more than 1,000 years, Kyoto holds deep cultural significance, with countless temples, shrines, and traditional neighbourhoods spread across the city. One of the most iconic sights here is Fushimi Inari Shrine, known for its 10,000+ vermilion torii gates that create a stunning pathway through the hills. Another major highlight is the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, which offers visitors a peaceful and scenic walk.

Kyoto is also home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the famous Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), which reflects beautifully on the surrounding lake. Areas like Gion preserve Japan’s traditional architecture and are widely recognised for their Geisha culture. What makes Kyoto especially memorable is its slow-paced way of life. Thrillophilia’s itineraries often include early-morning temple visits to help travellers avoid crowds and enjoy a more immersive experience. This thoughtful planning ensures Kyoto never feels rushed and instead becomes one of the most memorable parts of the entire trip.

3. Osaka - Japan’s Food and Entertainment hub

Osaka is completely different from Kyoto and Tokyo. Our well-planned itineraries usually allow 1–2 days to explore Osaka, adding a lively and relaxed contrast to your overall Japan journey. With a metro population of over 19 million, Osaka is one of Japan’s major urban centres, yet it feels far more casual and approachable compared to Tokyo. The city is best known for its food culture, especially in areas like Dotonbori, where bright neon lights and street food stalls create a vibrant atmosphere. From local favourites like Takoyaki to authentic ramen spots, this entire area is a true hub for food lovers.

Another major attraction in japan is Osaka Castle, a historic landmark surrounded by expansive gardens that offer a glimpse into Japan’s past. Travellers looking for entertainment will find Universal Studios Japan to be a key highlight, attracting over 14 million visitors annually and ranking among Asia’s most popular theme parks. Thrillophilia usually keeps Osaka itineraries flexible, as the city is all about enjoying the moment and exploring at ease. We help you experience Osaka at your own pace, making the journey fun, effortless, and a fitting conclusion to your Japan trip.

Food in Japan - Restaurants, Street Food, and Vegetarian Guide

Japan can feel challenging for vegetarian travellers because many dishes use dashi, a fish-based stock added to soups, noodles, sauces, and even meals that look vegetarian. While ordering, it is important to clearly ask for “no dashi” (dashi nuki).

In Tokyo, T’s Tantan inside Tokyo Station is one of the easiest vegetarian options, known for fully plant-based ramen and convenient access before train journeys. Ain Soph Journey in Shinjuku and Nagi Shokubo in Harajuku are also popular for vegan Japanese meals.

In Kyoto, Mumokuteki Cafe is a good option for vegan food, while Shigetsu at Tenryu-ji Temple offers shojin ryori, traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine, and is worth booking in advance.

In Osaka, Veg Out near Namba is one of the best vegetarian options, and many Indian restaurants can also be found around Nipponbashi. Across Japan, Buddhist temples often serve shojin ryori, making it one of the most memorable vegetarian dining experiences for Indian travellers. 

Stores like 7-Eleven, Lawson, and FamilyMart are helpful for quick food during travel, with options like umeboshi onigiri, edamame, fruit cups, and salads, though labels should still be checked carefully. For Jain travellers, meal planning needs extra care because strict Jain options are limited. It is best to inform Thrillophilia at the time of booking so dietary needs can be communicated in advance.

Where to Shop in Japan

Shopping in Japan changes completely depending on the city and district.

• In Tokyo, Ginza is the most premium shopping district, while Ameya-Yokocho is best for street bargains and casual finds.
• In Osaka, Shinsaibashi has the best mix of international brands and local shopping streets.
• Kyoto’s Nishiki Market is perfect for food souvenirs and traditional goods.
• For cultural shopping, Nakamise Street near Senso-ji Temple offers Japanese snacks and souvenirs.
• Travellers looking for high-tech shopping areas often prefer Odaiba, especially for electronics and family shopping.

When is the Best Time to Visit Japan?

This is one of the most common questions travellers ask while planning their trip with Thrillophilia. The truth is, Japan changes beautifully across seasons, so the “best time” really depends on what type of experience you are looking for.

1. March-April (Cherry Blossom Season): This is one of the most popular travel periods for a Japan trip. Cities like Tokyo and Kyoto are covered in Sakura blooms, which usually reach their peak between mid-March and mid-April, attracting millions of visitors every year. During this season, hotel prices can rise by 40–60%, and bookings are usually recommended at least 3–4 months in advance.

Thrillophilia Traveller Note:

Neha and Arjun Kapoor, a couple from Delhi, took their honeymoon trip in April 2025. They said, “We did the sakura boat ride at Chidorigafuchi on our second day. Nobody told us to book the rowing boats in advance – the queue was 90 minutes long by 9 am. We waited. Worth every minute. The canal is narrow, and the branches hang over the water – you feel like you are inside the blossom, not looking at it from the side. Thrillophilia had given us a list of backup parks in case Chidorigafuchi was too crowded, which showed they had actually thought about what could go wrong.”

2. October-November (Autumn Season): This is often considered the most balanced time to visit Japan. The red and golden foliage (Koyo) creates stunning landscapes, with pleasant temperatures between 10°C and 20°C. Compared to the Spring season, hotels are usually at a 30-40% lower price, and the attractions remain less crowded, making this a perfect time to visit. 

3. June-August (Summer Season): This brings a lively atmosphere in Japan with a large number of festivals and local events. However, June to early July is normally the rainy season in Japan, and temperatures can go up to 30°C from July to August with humidity as high as 70-80%. Still, this remains a popular time for Japan tours from India, as Indian schools are generally on vacation, making it an ideal period for families planning a trip to Japan.

4. December-February (Winter season): This period is the most budget-friendly time to visit Japan. A trip to Japan costs less by 20–30% during this time, and the cities also remain less crowded. Cities like Tokyo offer a calm, festive vibe during the winter season, and there are chances of experiencing snowfall during this time in Kyoto. Northern regions might offer heavy snowfall, but the cities remain accessible. 

Our planning team helps you pick the right time to travel based on your budget, crowd preference and the experiences you want. Whether it’s cherry blossoms, snow festivals, or a quieter and more relaxed trip, we help you plan it seamlessly.

Best Cherry Blossom Locations in Japan

While cherry blossom season is widely associated with Japan overall, certain locations offer distinctly different viewing experiences.

• Tokyo: Chidorigafuchi and Ueno Park are among the most visited sakura spots.
• Kyoto: Maruyama Park and Philosopher’s Path offer a classic temple-and-blossom atmosphere.
• Mount Fuji Region: Lake Kawaguchiko creates one of Japan’s most iconic sakura views with Fuji in the background.
• Hirosaki: Hirosaki Castle is one of the country’s most photogenic blossom locations.
• Nara: Nara Park offers the best of sakura landscapes with free-roaming deer.
• Hokkaido: Blooming starts later here and often continues into late April or early May.

Thrillophilia Traveller Note:

Rajan and Priya Menon, a family from Kochi, travelled in October 2025 with their two teenage children. They said, “We saw Mount Fuji clearly on Day 3 from Kawaguchiko. Day 1 was cloudy – we had been told it might be. The Thrillophilia planner had scheduled 2 nights at Kawaguchiko specifically to give us a second chance at a clear view. That buffer-day thinking is what separates good planning from luck. Our kids also did the Fuji Five Lakes area on a clear day. The guide knew exactly which lakeside point would have the best angle.”
