Time difference & quoting
Japan is 2 hours ahead of Hanoi, so our desk works almost the same hours as your office and a morning brief is usually quoted the same day.
Getting your clients here
Most clients from Vietnam fly from Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat (HAN / SGN) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Vietnamese travellers want
Vietnamese clients favour short, repeat breaks of four to seven nights; fast quotation turnaround and the right inventory win the booking.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Vietnam builds around Tet (Lunar New Year), the 30 April–1 May holiday and the summer school break.
Currency, payment & billing
Your clients pay in Vietnamese dong (VND). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in VND is known before you sell.
How Explera supports the Vietnam trade.
Agencies in Vietnam sell Japan as a quick getaway: short, repeat breaks of four to seven nights, usually booked inside a short window around school holidays, Lunar New Year and regional long-weekend clusters. A named account manager quotes in your working currency and returns FIT pricing within 24 hours.
Commercially, your agency in Vietnam works with a named account manager who answers during your office hours and quotes net, confidential rates. Options carry honest deadlines, amendments are handled without drama, and nothing changes between quotation and travel date.
On the ground in Japan, Vietnamese guests are met by English-speaking staff, with Mandarin, Korean and Thai guides assigned wherever the file calls for them. Hotels are inspected before we contract them, and the operations desk is one WhatsApp message away throughout the stay.

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