How to call Japan from India

  1. Dial 00, the exit code of India. On a mobile phone you can press and hold 0 to type + instead.
  2. Dial 81, the country code of Japan.
  3. Dial the rest of the number. If the number is written with 0 in front for calls inside Japan, leave that 0 out.

So a mobile number shaped like +81 9X-XXXX-XXXX is dialled from an Indian landline as 00 81 9X-XXXX-XXXX, and from any mobile phone as +81 9X-XXXX-XXXX. The X marks stand for the digits of the real number.

How to call Japan from other countries

The steps are the same everywhere: your own country's exit code, then 81, then the number. The exit code is 011 from the United States and Canada, 00 from most of Europe, Africa and Asia, and 0011 from Australia. A mobile phone accepts + in place of any exit code, which is why numbers are best saved as +81 followed by the number.

How to call India from Japan

Dial 010 (the exit code of Japan), then 91 for India, then the number. An Indian mobile number has 10 digits. For an Indian landline, dial the STD code without its leading 0, then the number: for example 010 91 11 and the eight-digit number for Delhi. Find an Indian STD code.

Saving a number from Japan for WhatsApp

WhatsApp needs the full international number: + then 81 then the number, without the trunk prefix 0. Save the contact that way and it will work on WhatsApp from any country. To open a chat without saving the contact, use the WhatsApp link maker.

Checked in November 2026 against the libphonenumber numbering data. Phone numbering can change; if a call does not connect, ask your phone company. Call charges are set by your phone company, not by the code.
