The month of September might be the best time, because the weather in Japan will be a bit cooler and the visitor numbers will not be as high as in the summer peak.<\/li>\n<li>The free flights will depart from or return to Tokyo (Haneda) and Osaka (Itami \/ Kansai) only. That\u2019s to encourage travelers to see less visited parts of Japan and to go outside of the typical Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka tourist circuit, which will be especially overcrowded next summer as people flock to Tokyo for the Olympics.<\/li>\n<li>To be eligible for free tickets, travelers must be registered outside of Japan with the flag carrier&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ar.jal.co.jp\/arl\/en\/jmb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mileage Bank<\/a> frequent flier program (joining that program is free of charge).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Applications for Japan Airlines&#8217; giveaway will open in late February but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jal.co.jp\/en\/jmb\/japan-promotion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">site is online already<\/a>. So it&#8217;s best to set a reminder to check back in February. This is how it will work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, you will have to select which airport you want to fly out of \u2014 either Haneda Airport in Tokyo, or Itami or Kansai Airports in Osaka.<\/li>\n<li>After selecting the preferred airport of departure, you will be shown four possible destinations within Japan.<\/li>\n<li>If you win &#8211; assuming you got your application in before they ran out of tickets &#8211; you\u2019ll receive an email within three days notifying you of which of the four places you\u2019ll be flying free to.<\/li>\n<li>Family and friends traveling together can apply as a group of up to four people.<\/li>\n<li>You need to have an international ticket to Japan booked for the period, and you\u2019ll need to input the info for your arrival flight when you apply.<\/li>\n<li>Applications will be on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In summary, for travelers with plans to be in Japan between July 1 and September 30, this could be well worth trying for. Chances are that you will be traveling to the country of the rising sun indeed as Japan expects a boost in tourist numbers because of the Olympics. The Games will be held from July 24 to August 9, 2020, and the subsequent Paralympics finish on September 6. Japan&#8217;s government expects the &#8220;Olympics effect&#8221; will bring approximately an extra 10 million visitors to the country in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Japan
