Time difference & quoting
Japan is 8 hours ahead of Brussels in standard time, one hour less while your daylight saving is in force. A brief sent at the end of your day reaches our desk the next Japan morning, and the quotation is usually waiting when your office opens.
Getting your clients here
Most clients from Belgium fly from Brussels Airport (BRU) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Belgian travellers want
Belgian clients favour long cultural journeys of ten to sixteen nights; fast quotation turnaround and the right inventory win the booking.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Belgium builds around the spring holidays, July–August and the autumn break around All Saints.
Currency, payment & billing
Your clients pay in Euro (EUR). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in EUR is known before you sell.
How Explera supports the Belgium trade.
Explera contracts Japan for Belgium to the cherry-blossom and autumn calendar, with city-plus-countryside programs, ryokan nights and package-travel documentation. A named account manager quotes in your working currency and returns FIT pricing within 24 hours.
Settlement for Belgian partners runs on agreed credit terms by bank transfer or the B2B portal, with every service line itemised. Confidential net rates protect your margin, and we never market to your end client.
Pacing leaves real breathing room between visits, dining skews to authentic local tables we have inspected, and rail days run on reserved seats. Guides, vehicles and coordinators are booked and briefed by one team, so one accountable desk owns the experience.

Asked by agents in Belgium.
Why do Belgian travel agents need a Japan DMC?
A DMC gives Belgian agents contracted net rates, in-country accountability and round-the-clock support — you keep the client and margin while we run hotels, transfers, guides and excursions.
Do you provide language support for Belgium?
English-language account management is standard, and German, French, Italian and Spanish guides are assigned to match your clients.
Which parts of Japan do Belgian clients book most?
The Golden Route — Tokyo, Hakone or Mount Fuji, Kyoto and Osaka — anchors most first Japan programs for Belgium; Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Hokkaido in winter and Okinawa are the usual extensions once clients return.
