FAQs for booking flights from Australia to Japan

  • Do children have to use child car seats to travel from the airport in Japan?

    Whether you’re catching a taxi or hiring a car, you'll need to abide by Japan’s child car seat laws. Children up to the age of six must use a child car seat appropriate for their age and size. Most airlines allow parents to bring child car seats for free, but you’ll need to double-check this with your carrier and let them know how many car seats you intend to bring.

  • Which airport should I fly into to visit Miyajima?

    If you’re keen to meet the deer population and see Miyajima’s famous Torii gate, your most convenient airport will be Hiroshima (HIJ). While there aren’t any direct flights from Sydney to Hiroshima, you should find plenty of single-stop itineraries featuring short stopovers at airports like Taoyuan Airport (TPE) and Tokyo Haneda (HND).

  • Which airport is convenient for visiting Jigokudani Monkey Park?

    If you’re keen to see macaques bathing in the hot springs of Jigokudani Monkey Park, a convenient airport is Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport (MMJ). From there, you can hire a vehicle or take a bus or train to Nagano and then on to the monkey park. Though it is further afield, some travellers prefer to fly into Tokyo and then catch the Shinkansen to Nagano Station.

  • Which airport is close to Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan?

    If you’re heading to the oldest hotel in the world, convenient airports are Shinshu-Matsumoto and Shizuoka Airport (FSZ). These hubs are ideal if you intend to hire a car. If you’d rather use Japan’s famous rail system, it may be more convenient to fly into one of Tokyo’s airports.

  • Which airport should I choose to visit Tokyo?

    As the capital and the largest city in Japan, Tokyo is the country’s international gateway. Tokyo has two international airports, Haneda and Narita. Haneda Airport (HND) is smaller, located just outside of downtown Tokyo, whereas the larger Narita Airport (NRT) is approximately 60 km outside the city. Whilst the Narita Airport is the biggest in the city and receives the most flights and often has the cheapest options of flights, passengers flying into this airport must consider a journey of around 1h 30min by train to get to and from the airport. Costs of train tickets, as well as possible taxi fares, are also exponentially higher. However, the Haneda airport, despite being smaller, is still a modern and busy airport and transport from the city takes roughly 40min, making it a desirable choice for those with early morning or late-night flights.

  • Do I need a visa to go to Japan?

    Australian passport holders do not need a visa to visit Japan. You can visit visa free when travelling for tourism or business for up to 90 days. Nevertheless, your passport must be valid for your entire stay.

  • Which airport should I choose to visit Kyoto?

    While the city of Kyoto does not have its own airport, it is still very easily accessible thanks to the Japanese Rail System. Many visiting Kyoto will fly into Narita Airport (NRT) and from there catch a 3h train to Kyoto. If you don’t like the prospect of a longer trip by train, you can choose to fly into Osaka International Airport (ITM), known as the Itami Airport, which is located 36 km and 1h away by train, or the Kansai International Airport (KIX), located 77 km or 1h 30min away by train. Despite the name, the Osaka International Airport handles only domestic flights, whereas the Kansai International Airport is the nearest hub for international flights.

  • Where do I fly into Japan to visit Disneyland?

    Japan’s Disneyland is in Tokyo, in the district of Urayasu, directly across the bay from Haneda Airport. Haneda Airport offers direct shuttles to the Tokyo Disneysea Station where you can catch the Disney Resort Line to key points and entrances around the park. Alternatively, Tokyo’s major airport, Narita, is about 1h from the park, where you can also catch direct shuttle buses.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Australia to Japan?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Australia to Japan.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from Australia to Japan?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly to Japan with an airline and back to Australia with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Australia to Japan?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying to Japan from Australia up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of Australia

  • Tokyo’s Narita Airport (NRT) is a hub for the country’s main full-service carriers, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines. It’s also a hub for the country’s low-cost carriers, Peach and Jetstar Japan.
  • To avoid unnecessary problems at the airport, ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your dates of travel to Japan. Your passport must also have at least one blank page for your entry and exit stamps.
  • There are a few direct flights that connect Japan and Australia’s major airports. While the most popular route is Melbourne to Tokyo, you can also find direct flights from Sydney and Brisbane.
  • If you’re looking to visit the renowned Osaka Castle, you should know that there are several 1- stop flights from Sydney International Airport (SYD) to Osaka International Airport (ITM) and Kansai International Airport (KIX). These airports will also put you in prime location to explore Fushimi Inari-taisha Shinto shrine and the Temple of the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) in Kyoto.
  • If you’re travelling in March, beware that flights into Japan during this time may be busier and more expensive. Although exact dates change from year to year, this is the beginning of the famous Cherry Blossom season and it attracts many international tourists. Flights to main cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka and Sapporo may be affected.
  • If you are looking to visit the northern island of Hokkaido and explore its natural beauties, there are direct flights available with Qantas Airways from Sydney International Airport (SYD) to the New Chitose Airport (CTS) in Sapporo, the fifth largest in the country. On the way back, however, you’ll have to consider 1-stop or even 2-stop routes with stops in Haneda Airport (HND), Narita Airport (NRT) or even Melbourne International Airport (MEL).
  • If you are visiting Mount Fuji, the nearest airport you should consider for your trip is the Shizuoka Airport (FSZ). Since there are no direct flights from Australia, you’ll need to take at least two stops, the most popular being at the Haneda Airport (HND), the New Chitose Airport (CTS) or even the Naha Airport (OKA) in Okinawa.

excellent, the food was excellent and delicious, and the crew were very helpful and accommodating. thank you very much

Excellent. All the ticket prices have gone up so much. With only economy as the option, I thought I better pay for a good airline and I am glad I took ANA. The only thing is the long layover at Hanaeda enroute to Singapore. Any chance to bring back the service to land at Narita instead for the transit and a shorter layover will be fantastic. I am a fan of ANA.

Good. Got me there and back safely and mostly on time. 30 min delay for maintenance once but that means more time for nap. Crew was super nice.

Incredible. Amazing legroom. Over head fans for each person. Tv screens were great. Headphones were adequate. Seats were comfortable and spacious. Loved it.

The space for the seats i like it. Its not too close like other air line. The food is ok and also the staff. I'm waiting for my flight rewards point because until now i didn't recieved it.

The staff, ground and air, at ANA was very helpful and friendly during check in, boarding and during the flight. This is the reason why I always fly ANA whenever I go to Manila. The food was not the best but the flight crew more than makes up for the shortfall.

First I will say this was really NOT an ANA flight. ANA used a UNITED jet to perform this flight. I specifically booked with ANA because I did NOT WANT TO FLY UNITED FOR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS. So to spend $1800.00 and then discover after booking that it was going to be handled by United was very disappointing. I will be more careful next time when I book. The interior was very cramped in economy class; the dinner meal was terrible and also had extremely small portions for an international flight - the bread roll was ice cold and stale - that salad was very wilted; I’ve never had a “snack” that was so salty that it was difficult to eat; the breakfast “waffle” was practically unrecognizable. Really horrible meals for a very expensive international flight. Bathroom floor was also pretty dirty. I’m hoping my return flight is a real ANA airplane that is cleaned and serviced by ANA personnel with ANA meals. I will never book with ANA again if they continue to use UNITED airline jets. Yuck!!!🤢

Ticket was purchased as a United Airlines flight (operated by All Nippon) like what does that even mean? Makes for a VERY confusing flight experience. For instance, what do I look for a United drop off signage and ticket counter or ANA? No explanation anywhere to be found. I also felt a little bit scammed by the obsurdely restrictive seat selection provided. Only middle seats available!! Are you kidding me!! On 6hr + 10hr flights you're forcing me into the middle seat without telling me before I purchased the ticket?? This should be illegal. And to top it off, on the Tokyo LA leg there were quite a few empty seats including window seats! I must also say, the food was a dissappointing as well for my taste, fish with rice ( mostly plain white rice) or a vegetable medly for the breakfast meal? Should be at least 4 choices and at least 1 with eggs. Outside of these issues flight was otherwise ok.

Ground and flight crew were all courteous, extremely helpful and professional. Overall, process is really organized, from boarding to disembarkation.

This is a very long flight and the first time I have flown on a Japanese airline. I was very impressed with the staff. They worked hard and offered food and drink regularly. Plane was very well cared for. The let room was good . Food was ok but better than other airlines.

Seems like crew assumed you're korean. Not impressed by crew

One of the flight was delayed. The flight attendant of returning flight to LA was mean.

Asian Vegitarian food was test less No Salt or pepper served Need to improve with Chef who can caters for Peaple from India I am sure Chef knows different varieties of food Indian People like

Flight attendants rude, they disappear for almost 3 hours not doing rounds to see what people needed. The laboratories were full of empty water cups, because they never come back to collect them.

The flight attendant, where kind of rude, there where hiding for almost 3 hours, without doing rounds to see if people needed water or pickup the water cups, the toilets were full of water cups, because they never come back to pick them up.

Flew on an Airbus 350-900. Excellent aircraft properly cleaned and serviced. Flight crew was excellent plane departed and arrived on time. The A350 has excellent air circulation far better than the 777. I would recommend Asiana to anyone looking to fly in a clean comfortable environment. This is my second round trip flight from New York to Bangkok via Asiana and I will book Asiana again!

I could not choose my seat prior to check in

The full flat bed was not that comfortable, hard and lumpy., too much space wasted with those bulky walls and divisions instead of making the bed 3-4 inches wider. The compartment where you put your feet is like a shoebox, poor design. Toilets of A350 are just too small, sink is too small

Airfare was ok . Food not good , seat ok but not comfortable. Lay over too long , crew was ok Overall just ok

The crew was amazing and really nice. The OS on the entertainment system could use an update, though. It felt old and outdated but had anything you'd need to keep busy. I usually never use it anyways, but that did stand out.

The international flight from Sydney to Dallas had great food. I have travelled a lot over the years and this has been the most memorable in my experience so far.

Initial flight was cancelled so moved to an alternative flight. As a result, stuck in a middle seat. Flight then place in holding pattern prior to landing resulting in a very late trip home.

There was nothing I didn’t like, prices a little lower would help

BA Airbus A380 BC upstairs had 2 3 2 layout. The seat was comfy but access for those in middle or window seats had to climb over others fest to get to ailse when seats in bed mode. The layout was not nearly as private as other layouts. The staff was amazing as well as the food. Most airline food is average but this was restaurant quality.

Following a marathon flight riddled by delays and changes from Santiago, Chile, my flight to Melbourne from Sydney was on schedule but I was transferred to the next flight. The reason by ticketing and the floor manager was I missed the entry to flight by one minute! That's right, the emphasised that if I was 1 minute earlier I would be on the flight. I asked what was the point them emphasising 1minute overdue and how that helped me or the situation. They didn't care at all. Replying that if it was one minute earlier they would've done something and smirking delivering the information. Australian's do call Australia home, Qantas calls Australian's suckers.

1) crackly headphone jack 2) one of the emergency seats recline. Usually second row does. But in this case neither did 3) food was scrambled eggs or fruit. 4) fruit should not be the option to eggs 5)miserable unpleasant crew not a smile. Thought that was a virgin thing

Qantas are unable to service and unfit for purpose, they cannot transport Australians on time to overseas destinations. On top of the inflated ticketing, the Sydney flight to Santiago was impacted because the plane was delayed arriving and then further bungling by Qantas admitting the ground new ground crew in charge of cleaning were not trained. The impact on passengers with connecting flights was tremendous and long ques of frustrated passengers waiting for rescheduling. **Qantas has become the Australian Spirit of disappointment**

The staff we fantastic and seemed to work very well with each other

Business lounge in Melbourne mediocre. Look at Emirates or Qatar, Qantas! Great friendly crew. Food was good but Emirates is a level above. Business seat good. But can’t compare to Qatar. Main reason for booking Qantas is loyalty and terrific connection via Perth to LHR.

I was pleasantly surprised with my flight to LA with Qantas. Although seats were not the roomies, service was excellent.
