Flights to Japan
One-stop flights from Colombo bring Japan within reach for work, study and once-in-a-lifetime tourism — from Tokyo's energy to cherry blossoms, bullet trains and ancient temples.
Getting to Japan from Sri Lanka
There are no non-stop flights, so trips connect once through Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, taking around 12–13 hours in total. Tokyo (Narita/Haneda) and Osaka (Kansai) are the main gateways.
Spring (cherry blossom, late March–April) and autumn (October–November) are the most beautiful but busiest and dearest; late spring and early autumn offer better fares. Book early for the blossom season.
