Time difference & quoting
Japan is 8 hours ahead of Lagos. 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 Nigeria fly from Murtala Muhammed International (LOS) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Nigerian travellers want
Nigeria books leisure trips blended with business and wellness travel, with service quality and clear documentation mattering more than headline discounts.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Nigeria builds around the Christmas–New Year season, Easter and the summer school break.
Currency, payment & billing
Your clients pay in Nigerian naira (NGN). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in NGN is known before you sell.
How Explera supports the Nigeria trade.
Nigeria books Japan around the December–January and Easter holidays, with honeymoons, shopping and onsen-wellness add-ons leading demand. Series departures and ad-hoc FIT sit on the same confidential contracts, so you never re-negotiate for volume.
Quoting for Nigeria is built for your margins: clear per-person grids, child and extra-bed policies up front, and pricing in your working currency. One line-itemised statement per file drops cleanly into your mid- or back-office system without manual rekeying.
For first-time visitors to Japan, guides cover the practical essentials early and the duty desk stays reachable on WhatsApp throughout. Guides, vehicles and coordinators are booked and briefed by one team, so one accountable desk owns the experience.
