The strong growth in the past 5 years is a testament to the increasingly close relationship between Vietnam and Japan. According to many experts, the political relationship between Vietnam and Japan is at its best in history since 1973 when diplomatic relations were established. This can be demonstrated by the visits between the leaders of the two countries that have been maintained and taken place regularly in the first 6 months of 2017: in January, the current Prime Minister ShinZo Abe; from February 28 to March 5, Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko; in May, Speaker of the House of Representatives - Tadashi Oshima visited Vietnam and most recently, the visit to Japan from June 4 to 8 by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc. The visits and talks between high-ranking leaders of Japan and Vietnam not only strengthen the close relationship between the two countries but also open up opportunities for comprehensive cooperation and development in all fields: politics, culture, economy, including tourism.

The extensive and comprehensive cooperation between the two governments has contributed significantly to creating conditions for the Japanese Embassy to loosen its visa application policy. Previously, one of the biggest obstacles that caused many Vietnamese tourists to "miss their appointment" with Japan was the complicated visa application procedures such as many documents and long processing times; for those who did not buy a Japan tour from a travel agency, they had to fill out the application and prepare the visa application documents themselves. However, the situation has completely changed in favor of tourists when the procedures for applying for documents have been simplified and starting from 2017, HanoiRedtours and a few travel companies have been honored to be authorized by the Embassy of Japan to support and provide visa application services for all tourists who want to travel, visit relatives, study abroad, work... Instead of having to directly prepare and queue up to submit visa applications at the Embassy as before, tourists will be carefully consulted by HanoiRedtours' specialized staff to prepare valid visa applications suitable for the purpose of the trip, and represent tourists to submit visa applications to the Embassy. This will more or less help tourists save time, travel costs and the possibility of getting a visa will be higher.

Increasing the transport capacity between destinations not only brings convenience to travel but also helps break the monopoly of some airlines, creating healthy competition in airfares, the first beneficiaries of which are tourists. As for the Japanese market, only in Hanoi, there are 3 airlines operating direct flights: VietNam Airlines, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, of which tourists consider Vietnam Airlines to have convenient flights to most large and small cities, with the most frequent and continuous flight frequency of up to nearly 30 flights/week.
In the near future, tourists will have more choices when starting from September 1, 2017, Jestar Pacific will officially operate the Hanoi - Osaka route with a frequency of 4 flights/1 week. On this occasion, travel companies also launched many Japan tour products with attractive promotional prices, typically HanoiRedtours with two Japan Free and Easy tours (4 days) departing: September 1, 15, 22, 29 for 9,990,000 VND; Economy tour: Osaka - Nagoya - Ancient capital Kyoto (4 days) departing in the red leaf season: September 1, 15, 22, 29, all-inclusive price only 18,900,000 VND.
With the lowest package tour price ever, and the market penetration of low-cost airlines, the collaboration between HanoiRedtours and Jestar Pacific will bring Japan tours, which are considered a high-end product line, closer to tourists, contributing to making the dream of traveling to the Land of the Rising Sun of many tourists come true.
