How to get from Tokyo to Atyrau: travel options
There are no non-stop flights between Tokyo and Atyrau: travel between Japan and Kazakhstan always involves a connection.
The single-stop option runs via Istanbul: a Turkish Airlines flight and then the Air Astana non-stop to Atyrau. The alternative goes through East Asia: Tokyo to Seoul, then a flight to Almaty or Astana and a domestic flight to Atyrau — that itinerary has two stops.
The Istanbul routing has fewer connections, while the Seoul combination is sometimes better value or fits your dates more easily. If you connect in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
