Time difference & quoting
Japan is 6 hours ahead of Istanbul. 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 Turkey fly from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Turkish travellers want
Turkish clients favour long summer family stays built around privacy; fast quotation turnaround and the right inventory win the booking.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Turkey builds around the June–September summer break, both bayram holidays and the February semester break.
Currency, payment & billing
Your clients pay in Turkish lira (TRY). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in TRY is known before you sell.
How Explera supports the Turkey trade.
Explera plans Japan for Turkey around the June–September summer escape and both Eid windows, holding connecting-room and family-suite inventory well in advance. Group space is held on option with realistic release dates while you confirm with your client.
Settlement for Turkish partners runs on agreed credit terms by bank transfer or the B2B portal, with every service line itemised. Options carry honest deadlines, amendments are handled without drama, and nothing changes between quotation and travel date.
Arabic-speaking coordination is available on arrival, female guides can be assigned on request, and prayer times are respected in the day plan. Whatever the manifest, the ground team scales to it, and the duty desk answers around the clock.

Asked by agents in Turkey.
Why do Turkish travel agents need a Japan DMC?
For Turkey, 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 Turkey?
English-language account management is standard, and Arabic guides are assigned to match your clients.
Which parts of Japan do Turkish clients book most?
The Golden Route — Tokyo, Hakone or Mount Fuji, Kyoto and Osaka — anchors most first Japan programs for Turkey; Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Hokkaido in winter and Okinawa are the usual extensions once clients return.
How do agencies in Turkey settle invoices with Explera?
Turkey partners settle by bank transfer or card in their currency, with written confirmation on every payment; full account details are on the payments page.
Is Explera a registered operator?
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.
What is the time difference between Turkey and Japan?
