Time difference & quoting
Japan is 6 hours ahead of Moscow. 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 Russia fly from Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Russian travellers want
Russian clients favour longer stays combining cities, onsen and the ski season; fast quotation turnaround and the right inventory win the booking.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Russia builds around the New Year holidays in early January, the May holidays and the summer break.
Currency, payment & billing
Your clients pay in Russian rouble (RUB). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in RUB is known before you sell.
How Explera supports the Russia trade.
Explera is built for how Russia sells Japan: group manifests, hotel allocations and honest release schedules when flight programs shift. A named account manager quotes in your working currency and returns FIT pricing within 24 hours.
Settlement for Russian 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.
The excursion program in Japan is tuned to Russian guests — onsen days, theme parks and the ski fields — and the duty desk handles disruptions in Russian and English. Hotels are inspected before we contract them, and the operations desk is one WhatsApp message away throughout the stay.

Asked by agents in Russia.
Why do Russian travel agents need a Japan DMC?
For Russia, 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 Russia?
English-language account management is standard, and Russian guides are assigned to match your clients.
Which parts of Japan do Russian clients book most?
For first-time Russian 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 Russia 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.

Yes — Explera operates under IATA TIDS registration 96215733 and ASTA membership 900408341, with registered companies in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Thailand and India. Both numbers can be checked with IATA and ASTA before you contract.
