Most journeys from Shenzhen to Japan connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider joining a free transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. Shorter connections are well spent exploring the airport's indoor gardens, relaxation zones, and wide choice of dining options, or taking a quick shower and rest at a transit hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka all use Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). Japan does not observe daylight saving time, so it remains one hour ahead of Shenzhen throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Japan when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Japan, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
