A small, growing market that deserves real attention.

JNTO doesn't break Portugal out individually — it sits inside the broader “Others” category, which grew 8.1% year on year in the first half of 2026. That means treating each enquiry on its merits rather than assuming volume, and Portuguese travellers researching Japan tend to be well-read, FIT-leaning, and open to a multi-country Asia itinerary rather than Japan alone.

There's no direct Lisbon–Tokyo route, so most itineraries connect via a European or Gulf hub — worth factoring into arrival-day planning. Spring and autumn remain the two natural peaks, alongside a growing interest in food- and craft-led travel.

Coordination is in English, by WhatsApp and email, with proposals ready to share under your own agency's branding.
