Winter Wonderland: Japan Trip with Emirates

Emirates Takes You to Japan for a Magical Winter Getaway

Emirates has partnered with the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) to inspire UAE-based travellers to discover one of the world’s most captivating destinations, Japan, in all its glory, during the upcoming winter season.

Planning a winter break in Japan is easier and more accessible. There are a variety of unforgettable experiences, from snow festivals, skiing and snowboarding in scenic mountains to an endless choice of onsen hot springs. For food lovers, Japan’s incredible cuisine offers abundant regional and seasonal dishes. With more relaxed visa rules introduced last year, Japan has become a popular destination among UAE citizens and residents. In the first six months of 2024, Japan welcomed close to 7,000 UAE nationals, a 71% increase from the same period in 2023.

Emirates has been flying to Japan for over 20 years, starting operations in Osaka in 2002. Today, the airline operates 21 weekly flights to its three gateways, Tokyo Haneda, Tokyo Narita, and Osaka, on a mixed fleet of Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s. Earlier this year, Emirates also introduced its four-class Airbus A380, which features the highly popular Premium Economy product. It also refurbished First, Business, and Economy Class cabins on daily flights to Tokyo Narita, elevating the existing travel experience.
