Routing options from Indore
There is no non-stop flight from Indore to Tokyo, so you connect through at least one hub. The most efficient path is via Delhi, which has direct Air India, ANA and JAL flights to Tokyo, or via Mumbai and an Asian hub such as Singapore. IDR–Delhi is about 1h 30m and Delhi–Tokyo runs roughly 7h 30m, so with a layover the total is around 13–15 hours. Routing via Mumbai is equally common given Indore's strong BOM connections.
Airlines that fly to Tokyo
From Indore your first leg is usually on IndiGo, Air India or Akasa to the hub. The hub–Tokyo sector is flown by leading carriers.
- Via Delhi: Air India, ANA and JAL fly direct to Tokyo.
- Via Singapore: Singapore Airlines connects to Narita and Haneda.
- Via Bangkok: Thai Airways and ANA serve Tokyo.
A single ticket through Delhi on Air India, ANA or JAL is the cleanest, with through-checked bags and protected connections into NRT.
Fares and best booking windows
Economy round-trips on this routing typically range from ₹60,000 to ₹1,00,000 depending on season, hub and how early you book. Fares are lowest in February, June and late November, while cherry-blossom April and Golden Week sit at the top of the band. Booking 8–12 weeks ahead usually secures the best deal. It is worth comparing a Mumbai to Tokyo departure, since starting from a major hub sometimes undercuts an Indore origin on price.
Baggage and connecting at the hub
Full-service carriers such as Air India, ANA, JAL and Singapore Airlines generally include 25–30 kg checked allowance in economy, with Japanese carriers often allowing two pieces to Tokyo. On a through-ticket your bags are tagged all the way to Narita; on two separate tickets you collect and re-check at the hub, so leave at least 4 hours. Cabin baggage is usually limited to about 10 kg on these airlines. Confirm allowances before you fly, as they vary by fare class.
Arriving at Narita International
You land at Narita International Airport (NRT), about 60 km east of central Tokyo. The Narita Express (N'EX) reaches Tokyo Station in roughly 60 minutes for around ¥3,000, while the Keisei Skyliner reaches Ueno in about 45 minutes. Buy a Suica or Pasmo card on arrival, or activate a Japan Rail Pass for onward travel. Japanese immigration captures fingerprints and a photo, so allow 45–60 minutes at busy arrival times.
Why Tokyo appeals to Indian travellers
Tokyo combines futuristic districts like Shibuya and Shinjuku with calm temples, gardens and the nearby views of Mount Fuji. Indian visitors enjoy the food, the bullet-train day trips to Kyoto and Osaka, and family attractions such as Tokyo Disney. As a global technology and finance hub it also draws professionals on assignment. Famously safe, clean and efficient, Tokyo is a superb destination for first-time visitors from Madhya Pradesh.
Japan visa rules for Indians
Indian citizens must obtain a Japan visa before travelling — there is no visa-on-arrival. Tourist visas are usually single-entry and processed in about 5–7 working days through the authorised visa centre, requiring an itinerary, bank statements and confirmed bookings. Frequent business travellers may qualify for multiple-entry visas. Start at least 3 weeks before departure and read our visa guide for the current document checklist.
