Japan destinations for travel agents — all eight regions, one ground operator.
From Tokyo and the Golden Route capitals of Kyoto and Osaka to the Japan Alps and Mt Fuji, Hokkaido's powder and flower fields, Tohoku's festivals and onsen, the Hiroshima and Seto art islands, Kyushu's volcanoes and the subtropical beaches of Okinawa — Explera operates every destination below with its own ground teams, contracted hotels and licensed multilingual guides. Each guide is written for the trade: logistics, seasonality, selling angles and what to upsell.
