The short answer

One way to Tokyo for the whole aircraft: about $15k to $20k from Seoul, $27k to $42k from Hong Kong, $63k to $112k from Singapore, $82k to $146k from Mumbai, $131k to $232k from Dubai, $173k to $308k from London and $196k to $348k from New York.

These are the indicative ranges our estimator gives for the aircraft that suits each distance, not quotations. The final figure depends mostly on where the aircraft starts and whether it waits in Japan for your return.

Prices from thirteen cities

One way, whole aircraft, not per seat. Tokyo is priced into Haneda; Sapporo into New Chitose, the airport for Niseko. Time in the air is the non-stop flying time.

Beyond about 7,400 km the only aircraft that make the trip non-stop are ultra-long range jets, which is why Dubai, the Gulf, Europe and the United States sit in a different price band from South and South-East Asia.

Private jet to Sapporo and Niseko

New Chitose (CTS) is the airport for Sapporo and for Niseko, about two hours from the ski area by road. One way for the whole aircraft into New Chitose: about $31k to $48k from Hong Kong, $70k to $125k from Singapore, $156k to $278k from Sydney, $161k to $287k from London and $182k to $323k from New York. Flying straight into New Chitose from abroad avoids the domestic leg described below.

Which airport

The landing permit

A charter flight into Japan on a foreign-registered aircraft needs landing permission from Japan's Civil Aviation Bureau, and the operator applies for it before the flight. Build in lead time: a week is comfortable, and a short-notice trip depends on the permit and the slot coming through together.

Domestic legs

A foreign-registered charter aircraft cannot sell a flight between two airports inside Japan. Tokyo to Sapporo within the same trip therefore needs a Japanese-registered aircraft or a scheduled flight, and we plan that leg separately. The rule is cabotage; how it works country by country.

When it is busiest

Niseko's ski season, roughly December to March, and cherry blossom in late March and early April are the peak weeks for private arrivals. Book slots and aircraft early for those dates.

Questions

How much does a private jet to Japan cost?

For the whole aircraft, one way to Tokyo: about $27k to $42k from Hong Kong, $63k to $112k from Singapore, $82k to $146k from Mumbai, $131k to $232k from Dubai, $173k to $308k from London and $196k to $348k from New York. These are indicative estimates, not quotations.

How much is a private jet from London to Japan?

About $173k to $308k one way to Tokyo for the whole aircraft, in an ultra-long range jet, with about 9h 45m in the air non-stop. Into Sapporo it is about $161k to $287k. The figure is priced from London Luton; another airport in England changes it by a few percent.

How much is a private jet from New York to Tokyo?

About $196k to $348k one way for the whole aircraft, in an ultra-long range jet, with about 11h 04m in the air non-stop from Teterboro.

How much does a private jet to Sapporo cost?

One way into New Chitose for the whole aircraft: about $31k to $48k from Hong Kong, $70k to $125k from Singapore, $161k to $287k from London and $182k to $323k from New York.

Which Tokyo airport do private jets use?

Haneda, closest to the city, when a business-aviation slot is available, and Narita, about an hour out by road, when it is not.

How far ahead should a private flight to Japan be arranged?

A week is comfortable. The operator needs landing permission from Japan's Civil Aviation Bureau and, for Haneda, a slot. Shorter notice is possible when both come through in time.

Can the same jet fly us from Tokyo to Niseko?

Not if it is foreign-registered. Cabotage rules stop a foreign charter aircraft selling a flight between two Japanese airports, so the domestic leg goes on a Japanese-registered aircraft or a scheduled flight. Flying straight into New Chitose from abroad avoids the issue.

Is the price per person?

No, it is for the whole aircraft. Mumbai to Tokyo at about $82,172 to $146,084 carrying ten people is roughly $8,200 to $14,600 each.
