Traveling from Auckland to Japan typically takes around 11 hours on a direct flight. Though it’s a long journey, the allure of Japan’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and unique blend of tradition and modernity make the time in the air well worth it.
The best times to visit Japan are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Spring is famous for the cherry blossoms (sakura), which bloom across the country, creating breathtaking landscapes. Autumn, on the other hand, offers beautiful fall foliage, cooler temperatures, and fewer tourists. These seasons are perfect for exploring Japan’s temples, gardens, and cultural sites.
Japan is 3 hours behind New Zealand. This small time difference makes it easy to adjust, allowing you to dive right into your Japanese adventure with minimal jet lag.
The Japanese celebrate Sakura with Hanami, literally “flower viewing” celebrations which take place in March and April.

JeanTravel is not just my job -
it’s my passion. My first trip overseas was when I was 19(eek 27 years
ago), I flew to America by myself to be a nanny and I’ve never looked back!!!
Being able to talk travel all day (14 years worth)and inspire people with my stories
and see their excitement, is my reward. From Snowboarding in Canada and
the French Alps, meeting and holding hands with the Dalai Lama in India,
My kids loving their Fiji, Rarotonga and family cruises or the adrenaline on
the back of a scooter in peak hour traffic in Ho Chi Minh to relaxing with a
coffee and watching the world go by in one of the little villages in the Cinque
Terra is just a snippet of why my passion runs deep.
I'm here to take the guesswork out of planning your next holiday, saving you
time and hassle so you can make the most out of your time abroad!

Travel fuels my soul, the experiences, the opportunities, the culture, the adventures, I have been lucky enough to have a career that is a labour of love. Planning holidays with a high degree of skill, attention and knowledge has become my trade mark.
I absolutely adore planning epic family trips, luxurious holidays alongside organizing a lot of corporate travel business as well. I also travel a lot, as often as I can so I have up to date first hand experience in so many areas. This has given me the skill and experience to share with my clients and ensure they also come away with travel experiences second to none. I work with a large referral business and I do require appointments to fully assess what is going to be right for you and start planning your holiday.
