Time difference & quoting
Japan is 8 hours ahead of Madrid 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 Spain fly from Madrid–Barajas and Barcelona–El Prat (MAD / BCN) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Spanish travellers want
Spain books long cultural journeys of ten to sixteen nights, with service quality and clear documentation mattering more than headline discounts.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Spain builds around Semana Santa, July–August and the December long weekends (puentes).
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 Spain trade.
For Spanish clients, Japan is a long cultural journey, planned well ahead and timed to cherry blossom in spring and autumn colour in October–November, alongside Easter and the autumn school holidays. Group space is held on option with realistic release dates while you confirm with your client.
Quoting for Spain is built for your margins: clear per-person grids, child and extra-bed policies up front, and pricing in your working currency. Confidential net rates protect your margin, and we never market to your end client.
On the ground in Japan, Spain clients get knowledgeable guiding, reserved rail and contracted vehicles as standard. Vehicles are licensed and insured, drivers are briefed on every file, and the 24/7 duty desk covers every ground hour of the trip.

English-language account management is standard, and German, French, Italian and Spanish guides are assigned to match your clients.
