A range of airlines across the United States are scrambling to relaunch several flights to Japan following the country’s decision to greatly soften its entry restrictions and reopen today, October 11th.

Japan has long since been one of the most sought-after and well-visited destinations amongst travelers, with almost 32 million travelers visiting the country in 2019 before the country closed its doors to foreign arrivals. This included almost 2 million American travelers keen to sample the delights of Shibuya, sake, and sakura trees, amongst countless other attractions.

Whilst travel to Japan over the past two years or so has been all but non-existent, the country’s decision to reopen its borders and remove its restrictions could see the country re-emerge as one of the world’s foremost travel destinations, coming just as many Americans are looking to cement their winter travel plans. Here’s a look at which flight routes are set to be relaunched from the U.S., other ways airlines are hoping to cope with the expected increase in demand, and why it’s the perfect time to take a trip to Japan right now.
