Jeju Air announced on the 5th that it will hold a promotion for all Japan routes departing from Incheon.


According to Incheon International Airport Corporation and Korea Airports Corporation, the total number of travelers visiting Japan through Incheon Airport and Gimpo Airport reached 1,351,000 by March 16 this year, which is 58,000 more than the entire last year. The resumption of visa-free entry and the yen depreciation phenomenon are believed to have contributed to the significant increase in tourists visiting nearby Japan.


As the number of Korean tourists visiting Japan rapidly increases, Jeju Air decided to operate its exclusive route to Shizuoka (currently three times a week) daily from April 25 during the Golden Week period at the end of April and early May, and to increase the Osaka route by 9 additional flights per week during the same period.


First, Jeju Air will run a special promotion for travel to small Japanese cities until April 9, reflecting the diversified travel desires of tourists heading to Japan. Eligible tickets can be used for travel from April 5 to June 30. One-way total fares start from 79,200 KRW on the Incheon~Shizuoka, Matsuyama, Sapporo, Okinawa, and Nagoya routes.


Special promotions are also available for major hub cities such as Tokyo (Narita), Osaka, and Fukuoka. One-way total fares start from 84,500 KRW, and for customers seeking unique travel experiences, nearby small city tourist destinations are introduced on the Jeju Air website.

Meanwhile, customers visiting Matsuyama via Jeju Air can enjoy benefits such as free admission to Dogo Onsen Asukanoyu, free use of the Matsuyama Castle lift and ropeway, and free admission to the Tenshukaku (castle tower). For customers using the Shizuoka route, a free shuttle bus service from the airport to JR Shimada Station is provided until May 31.


When purchasing round-trip tickets, promotion codes offering discounts of up to 30,000 KRW for the Chitose, Nagoya, and Okinawa routes, and up to 20,000 KRW for the Matsuyama, Shizuoka, Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka routes are provided. New members registering on the Jeju Air website can receive an additional 5% discount on their first reservation.


After booking with Jeju Air, customers who reserve hotels in Japan through ‘Yogi-ottae’ can receive up to a 20% discount coupon (limited to the first 200 customers), additional duty-free discount coupons for Don Quijote, and up to USD 175 in online credits when using domestic duty-free shops. Detailed information is available on the Jeju Air website.


Jeju Air currently operates a total of 141 weekly flights on eight Japan routes departing from Incheon: Tokyo (Narita), Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Okinawa, Matsuyama, and Shizuoka. During Golden Week, 13 additional flights will be added, increasing the total to 154 weekly flights.



A Jeju Air official said, “Recently, there has been a travel boom to nearby Japan, and customers are increasingly interested not only in major cities but also in nearby small cities and unique regional cities.” He added, “We will actively explore hidden gems by diversifying the small and medium-sized regional cities in Japan where we can operate, and meet the demands of customers seeking new travel destinations.”
