Japan Visa for Indian Travellers

- Application method: Through VFS Global Japan Visa Application Centres across India
- eVISA for India: Japan started accepting eVISA applications from India on April 1, 2024
- Visa fee: INR 500 for a single-entry or multiple-entry tourist visa, plus VFS service charges (as of April 1, 2026, Embassy of Japan in India)
- Processing time: Generally 5 working days from the date of submission. During peak travel season, timelines may increase
- Application window: Applications are accepted up to 3 months before your travel date
- Important note: A Japan visa does not guarantee entry. Immigration approval is at the discretion of border authorities as per the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan.
Thrillophilia provides document guidance and visa support as part of your Japan tour packages from Mumbai. Keep at least 10 working days as a buffer between your visa application and travel date to avoid last-minute stress.
How to Reach Japan From Mumbai
This is where Mumbai stands out compared to most other Indian cities for Japan travel. As of July 2026, ANA operates a direct Mumbai to Tokyo Narita (BOM to NRT) route, which currently makes Mumbai one of the few Indian cities with non-stop Japan access. Air India is scheduled to begin a direct Mumbai to Tokyo Haneda (BOM to HND) route starting June 15, 2026, which will be significant because Haneda sits closer to central Tokyo and reduces transfer time considerably.
Direct Flights: Mumbai to Tokyo Narita
• Duration: approximately 8 hours
• Operating Airline: ANA (All Nippon Airways)
• Arrival Airport: Tokyo Narita (NRT), approximately 60 to 90 minutes from central Tokyo
• Round-trip fares: approximately INR 65,000 to INR 110,000 per person, depending on season and booking window.
Upcoming: Mumbai to Tokyo Haneda (from June 15, 2026)
• Operating Airline: Air India
• Arrival Airport: Tokyo Haneda (HND), approximately 30 to 45 minutes from central Tokyo
• This Japan tour package from Mumbai will be especially useful for travellers looking for a tighter city arrival
Best Time to Visit Japan From Mumbai
Japan has four distinct seasons, and each one changes how the country looks, feels, and costs. Here is an honest month-by-month guide for Mumbai travellers.
Arnav Kulkarni, one of our verified travellers from Mumbai who booked the Best of Japan | A Cultural Odyssey Across Osaka & Tokyo package, shared in April 2026 that "Japan in cherry blossom season from Mumbai; this was on our list for five years, and Thrillophilia nailed the timing perfectly. A park picnic under the sakura trees, the Arashiyama bamboo forest at dawn, the Fushimi Inari shrine at sunset, Osaka Dotonbori street food at midnight — each day had its own magic. The bullet train itself was an experience. Everything was pre-planned, so we never wasted a moment.”
Late March to April (Sakura Season)
This is when Japan gets busiest and most expensive. Cherry blossom timing is not a fixed national date. It varies by city, elevation, and year. Tokyo usually sees peak bloom around late March to early April, while Kyoto follows a few days later. Prices for hotels and flights can rise by 30 to 50 per cent compared to the shoulder season, as most of the couples plan for their Japan honeymoon package during this season. If you want to see sakura, book at least 4 to 5 months in advance and expect to pay a premium.
May (Shoulder Season, Highly Recommended)
May is one of the best months for Japan packages from Mumbai. The weather is warm and clear, crowds have thinned out after April, and prices come back to a normal range. This is the window many experienced travellers prefer.
September to November (Autumn Foliage Season)
This is arguably the second-best travel window for Japan. Autumn colours, particularly in Nikko, Kyoto, and Hakone, are stunning. September can still carry typhoon risk, so October and November are the more reliable months. Hotel and flight prices are high but slightly more predictable than the sakura season.
December to February (Winter)
Good for onsen trips, Hokkaido snow experiences, and fewer crowds at major temples. Tokyo and Kyoto in winter are cold but manageable. Not ideal for first-timers who want outdoor scenery, but excellent for those who love winter aesthetics.
June to August (Summer)
Hot, humid, and occasionally affected by typhoons from late summer. July and August are popular for families during school holidays and for festival season, including the Gion Matsuri in Kyoto, which is one of Japan's largest traditional festivals. Budget travellers often find lower hotel prices in June before the peak summer heat hits.
Popular Destinations to visit during a Japan honeymoon tour
While planning for a Mumbai to Japan trip with Thrillophilia, we provide you with complete details with hand-picked destinations and places to visit in Japan, based on our previous travellers' preferences, to provide you with genuine and realistic Japan packages from Mumbai.
- Tokyo: Begin in Shinjuku, where Kabukicho and Omoide Yokocho offer lively evenings with yakitori alleys and intimate dining experiences. In Shibuya, witness the famous crossing between 8–9 PM and enjoy skyline views from the Shibuya Sky observation deck together.
- Kyoto: Enjoy the essence of old, authentic Japan with Kyoto tour packages. In the morning, at Fushimi Inari-Taisha, climb up Inari Mountain. Stroll through Gion and along Hanamikoji Street, where Kyoto’s old-world elegance feels especially alive after sunset. You may spot a geiko, though sightings are never guaranteed, and respectful distance is always expected.
- Osaka: Start your Osaka tour package in Dotonbori, where the city feels brightest after 8 PM under neon lights reflected along the canal. From there, step into Osaka Castle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s grand 16th-century fortress, where you can explore the museum inside and admire the grounds that look especially beautiful during cherry blossom season when the castle is illuminated in the evening.
- Hakone: From Tokyo, you can reach Hakone in about 90 minutes from Shinjuku using the Romancecar express train, which is often considered one of the most scenic train journeys in Japan. It is best to book your seats in advance since reservations are mandatory and popular among travellers.
- Hiroshima and Miyajima: In Hiroshima, begin your visit at the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, which is a deeply meaningful experience for couples interested in history and reflection. The Atomic Bomb Dome, a designated World Heritage Site, stands as a powerful reminder of the past. After this, take a short 30-minute ferry ride from Hiroshima’s Ujina Port to Miyajima Island, where the atmosphere feels calmer and more scenic.
Top Things to do in a Japan tour package from Mumbai
Japan has a reputation for everything being worth doing. That's partly true, but it also leads to overcrowded itineraries. Here are the top things to do in Japan that our Mumbai travellers consistently rate the highest.
- Onsen (Hot Spring Bathing): An onsen stay, ideally in Hakone or Beppu, is one of the most uniquely Japanese experiences you can have. Most ryokans come with a private or communal onsen. Note that many onsen do not allow guests with tattoos.
- Fushimi Inari Shrine (Kyoto): Over 10,000 torii gates winding through a forested mountain. Go early morning, ideally before 7 AM, to avoid crowds. This is free to enter and visually unlike anything else in the world.
- Shibuya Crossing (Tokyo): The world's busiest pedestrian intersection processes over 3,000 people per crossing cycle at peak hours. Watch from the Starbucks on the upper floor for the best view, or simply walk through it.
- Tsukiji Outer Market (Tokyo): Even though the inner wholesale market moved to Toyosu, the outer market at Tsukiji remains one of the best food walks in Tokyo. Arrive by 8 AM for the freshest options.
- Arashiyama Bamboo Grove (Kyoto): Dense bamboo forest with a distinctive rustling sound that you will not forget. Combine this with the nearby Tenryu-ji garden and the river area.
- Mount Fuji Viewpoints (Hakone and Kawaguchiko): Mount Fuji is not a casual trek. The climbing season is July and August only, and it is a strenuous overnight climb. For most travellers, the best approach is to stay in Hakone or Kawaguchiko and view the mountain from a ryokan or Lake Kawaguchi. Weather clouds the peak frequently, so an overnight stay dramatically increases your chance of a clear view.
Food Planning for Indian Travellers in Japan
This is a question that comes up in almost every consultation with Mumbai travellers. Japan's food culture is extraordinary, but it is built heavily around fish, seafood, pork, and other non-vegetarian ingredients. Thrillophilia’s Japan tour package from Mumbai includes daily breakfast, including veg options, along with other meals as per the selected itinerary. Moreover, Thrillophilia provides complete guides to popular eateries and restaurants for Indians. Here is what to expect.
Arvind Iyer, one of our verified travellers who booked the Japan Scenic Trip | A Family Tale from Temples to Theme Parks package, shared in January 2026, “The tea ceremony was a peaceful and memorable highlight of our trip, and even the kids found it interesting. Staying at a centrally located hotel made it easy to explore nearby attractions. Thanks to Thrillophilia, the entire family trip was smooth, cultural, and enjoyable.”
- Vegetarians: Japan is challenging but manageable for vegetarians. Shojin ryori (Buddhist temple cuisine) is entirely plant-based and available near temples in Kyoto. Indian restaurants are available in Tokyo's Shinjuku and Asakusa areas.
- Jain travellers: More difficult. Most Japanese dishes use dashi broth made from fish or seaweed. Inform your hotel in advance, and Thrillophilia can help pre-arrange Jain-friendly meals where possible.
- Non-vegetarians: Japan is outstanding for non-vegetarians. Ramen, sushi, tempura, yakitori, and wagyu beef are among the best food experiences in the world.
- Halal food: Available in select areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. The Halal Gourmet Japan website lists certified restaurants by city.

Support from Thrillophilia was excellent, and everything was well organised and on time. Special thanks to Karthik, my booking agent, and Divyansh, my customer relationship manager. Both of them did an excellent job. It was unfortunate not to get Shibuya Sky tickets, as they open 14 days prior. Was fortunate to get to level 5 at Mount Fuji... Overall, it was a very memorable experience. Full marks to Thrillophilia”
