Japan DMC for Russia
Net rates and FIT programming for Russian agencies, quoted off an all-time record month for Japan arrivals.
How the Russia market sells Japan
FIT and family travel lead this fast-growing market, with clients drawn to both classic city itineraries and increasingly regional Japan. The weak yen has accelerated interest, and Japan continues to build on its long-standing appeal for this market.
Cherry blossom season (late March-April) and winter illuminations (December-February) are the two strongest windows, with the weak yen extending demand across the calendar through 2026.
Well connected via major hub carriers through the Middle East or Asia, with onward domestic connections across Japan for multi-city itineraries.
Fast, clear communication and confident guidance for a market that ranges from first-time visitors to seasoned Japan travellers - both deserve equally thorough support.
