Japan needs no introduction as far as Singaporean vacationers are concerned. Hordes of us flock there once the holidays hit, to the point that it’s easy to discern the distinct twang of Singlish amidst the crowds when you’re walking down the busy streets of Shibuya. But, there’s so much more to Japan than just the Tokyo Metropolis that our fellow countrymen dare to admit.
And ANA wholeheartedly agrees, which is why they have multiple stopover and domestic add-on services that can complement your flights. Here’s all you need to know about them, if you’d like to bolster your next Japan itinerary with a couple of stops at more than 50 domestic airports throughout the country.
For the adventurous at heart who just can’t sit still when they travel, ANA’s got you covered with their multiple stopover service. All ANA flyers can take advantage of 2 stopovers per direction; one of them is completely free, and the other is chargeable at $130 per direction.
This allows you to maximise your holiday and go skiing, explore vibrant cities, relax on stunning beaches, and so much more – all in a single trip. The multiple stopover service is also great for those who’d like to venture to domestic destinations in Japan that do not have direct flights from Tokyo.
Do note that according to ANA, a stopover is a stay at a transfer point en route to a destination for more than 24 hours, and will be subject to consumption tax and applicable fees.
Have a gander at the above proposed itinerary from ANA. You get to swing by 4 different cities in 1 trip, to experience both the frothy waves of the Okinawa tropics, the snow-capped peaks of Hokkaido, with a dash of the bustling downtowns in Osaka and Tokyo.

With the multiple stopover service, far-flung locations such as Goto Fukue – famous for its beautiful beaches and delicious seafood – are now within reach, by enjoying a stopover in Fukuoka and flying to the island from there afterwards.
Head to ANA’s multiple stopover service website in order to start putting together your all-encompassing Japan itineraries.
Should you wish to broaden your horizons and explore more of the country on your trips, look no further than ANA’s domestic add-on service. Passengers travelling to Japan with ANA can book their international tickets with domestic flights within Japan for less.

Picture this; you’re headed to Japan for a short respite, you’re Tokyo-bound, and rightly so. It’s a must-visit destination after all, especially for those touring the country for the first time. But, you also decide to go a little off the beaten track by taking a detour to the quaint city of Hiroshima to pay a visit to the famous Hiroshima Castle.
With ANA’s domestic add-on services, a return flight from Singapore to Tokyo, and then another one to Hiroshima costs the same as a simple return trip from Singapore to Tokyo. ANA’s extensive domestic network means you get access to over 40 airports via Tokyo, so you’ve got pretty much all the liberty in the world to hop from city to city on your trip.
Again, all you’ve got to do is to visit the ANA domestic add-on services website to get yourself started on planning an eventful holiday.
We get it, Singaporeans just can’t get enough of Japan, and there’s no shame in that. There’s just so much to see, do, and eat over there; but that doesn’t mean you’ve got to shell out thousands of dollars for multiple holidays whenever you’re missing Mount Fuji.
With ANA’s domestic add-on and multiple stopover services, you’ll be saving a pretty penny. Besides, your schedule’s gonna thank you for not peppering it with errant trips to Japan throughout the year, because you can now experience it all with just one itinerary.
