DOMESTIC AIR ROUTES
 Japan
Airlines (JAL; www.jal.co.jp/en/),
All Nippon Airways (ANA; www.ana.co.jp/eng/index.html),
and several other airlines maintain an extensive air network covering
Japan proper and its islands. If clients are on a tight schedule, they may opt
to fly to cities not served by Shinkansen bullet train (otherwise, for travels
of 600 km/370 miles or shorter, bullet trains are quicker than planes, especially
when airport transfers are taken into consideration).
"oneworld Yokoso/Visit Japan Fare" & "Welcome to Japan Fare"
Japan Airlines' oneworld Yokoso (Welcome)/Visit Japan Fare allows overseas visitors to fly within Japan at special discount domestic fares (not available during peak seasons) to 42 cities served by JAL and two regional subsidiaries (JAL Express, based in Itami Airport in Osaka, and Japan TransOcean Air, based in Naha, Okinawa). Reservations and ticketing must be made in conjunction with a JAL international ticket and completed before arrival in Japan. Though not offering as much of a discount, JAL's Welcome to Japan Fare also offers cheaper fares to all cities in Japan served by JAL and its two regional subsidiaries. While the Welcome to Japan Fare must also be purchased outside Japan, clients need not fly JAL to receive this discounted fare. [More info: www.jal.co.jp/yokosojapan/]
All Nippon Airways offers a similar service called "Star Alliance Japan Airpass" and "Visit Japan Fare" for overseas travelers. [More info: www.ana.co.jp/wws/us/e/travelservice/reservations/special/airpass.html]
