Japan DMC for France
Net B2B rates, gastronomy-led programming and 24/7 ground operations — built for how French agencies sell Japan.
How the France market sells Japan
Gastronomy, craft and design consistently outrank shopping for French clients. Many arrive already well-read on regional cuisine and traditional artisanship — one of the deepest pre-existing cultural affinities with Japan of any Western market.
Late March–April (cherry blossom) and late October–November (autumn foliage) are the main peaks, with a distinct August wave driven by the French national holiday month that most other European markets don't share.
Daily nonstop service from Paris CDG into both Narita and Haneda on Air France, ANA and JAL, plus one-stop options via the Gulf and Helsinki for regional French departures.
Depth of cultural and culinary programming, not just the standard sights. Kaiseki and chef-table experiences are frequently requested as the trip centerpiece.
