The world of international sport is coming to Japan!

With the arrival of the Rugby World Cup 2019, nations from all over the world will be testing their mettle in events held all over Japan - the perfect reason to visit each unique host destination and experience everything that Japan has to offer in between.

Japan is more accessible by air than it has ever been with direct daily flights from London Heathrow to two Tokyo international airports and a new London - Osaka route launching on 31 March 2019. Indirect flights frequently operate from regional areas of the UK into regional city hubs in Japan making it easy to slide straight into your destination, from your doorstep.

The public ballot for those ever-in-demand match tickets has now closed so while we eagerly await the announcement of who got which tickets on the 26th November 2018 (Japan time), the JNTO have teamed up with Expedia to bring you information and deals on accommodation in the host locations, from Sapporo in the snowy north to the flavourful towns and cities of Kyushu in the sub-tropical south.

Visit Expedia’s Japan page for more details, and the JNTO’s very own Visit Japan 2019 rugby website to explore what there is to see and do around the World Cup 2019 destinations, all across the many islands of Japan.

Missed out on tickets this time round? Come feel the buzz and see what the fuss is about, anyway! A flash sale of all remaining tickets is also scheduled to take place on 19th Jan 2019, on a real-time first-come first-serve basis.
