More than 180 passengers have arrived in Perth on the first direct flight from Tokyo.
The inaugural All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight touched down at Perth Airport on Sunday night with passengers each receiving a toy quokka and a free ticket to Rottnest Island.
ANA is the first airline to fly direct between Perth and Japan since 2011, with a travel time of about nine hours.
The airline will operate daily services on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which has a total of 184 seats including 32 business class seats, 14 premium economy seats and 138 economy seats.
The daily flights depart Tokyo (NRT) at 11.10am and arrive in Perth (PER) at 8.15pm.
The aircraft will then depart from Perth at 9.45pm, to arrive in Tokyo at 8.25am the next morning.
Premier Mark McGowan said the flights will be a huge boost to WA's tourism industry.
"New direct aviation access like this is absolutely critical to unlocking the tourism potential of Western Australia as it helps attract visitors, drives investment and creates jobs," Mr McGowan said.
"Over three years it is estimated the flights will bring about 76,000 new visitors from Japan to Perth, providing a $175 million boost to the State's economy and creating hundreds of new jobs."
On the return flight from Perth to Tokyo the underbelly of the plane was filled with 2.5 tonnes of WA-grown avocados, 2.6 tonnes of fresh flowers and 1.5 tonnes of chilled meat.
