Last updated: 25 October 2026
Time difference & quoting
Japan is 8 hours ahead of Amsterdam 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 the Netherlands fly from Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Dutch travellers want
For Netherlands, the product is long cultural journeys of ten to sixteen nights — and German, French, Italian and Spanish-aware handling makes the difference on the ground.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from the Netherlands builds around the May holiday, the staggered summer school holidays and the October autumn break.
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 Netherlands trade.
Explera contracts Japan for Netherlands to the cherry-blossom and autumn calendar, with city-plus-countryside programs, ryokan nights and package-travel documentation. One consolidated invoice per file keeps reconciliation simple, even across multi-city itineraries.
Commercially, your agency in Netherlands works with a named account manager who answers during your office hours and quotes net, confidential rates. Confidential net rates protect your margin, and we never market to your end client.
On the ground in Japan, Netherlands clients get knowledgeable guiding, reserved rail and contracted vehicles as standard. Whatever the manifest, the ground team scales to it, and the duty desk answers around the clock.

Asked by agents in Netherlands.
Why do Dutch travel agents need a Japan DMC?
For Netherlands, a DMC turns Japan into a single accountable supply chain — one contract, one invoice, one 24/7 desk — instead of chasing individual hotels and operators.
Do you provide language support for Netherlands?
English-language account management is standard, and German, French, Italian and Spanish guides are assigned to match your clients.
Which parts of Japan do Dutch clients book most?
For first-time Dutch clients the usual anchor is Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, extended to Hakone or Mount Fuji and to Hiroshima with Miyajima; repeat visitors move on to Kanazawa, Takayama, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Okinawa, with the season deciding the routing.
How do agencies in Netherlands settle invoices with Explera?
Quotations are issued in your working currency with dedicated multi-currency receiving accounts plus secure card payment, every transfer confirmed in writing — see the payments page.
