Tom Cruise landed at
Narita International Airport at the weekend along with wife Katie Holmes and daughter Suri.
Cruise is in Japan for the premiere of his latest film Valkyrie, which is based on an attempt to assassinate Hitler
The 18-hour flight may have taken its toll on the Cruise clan, with Katie and Suri reportedly looked exhausted as they made their way through crowds of fans waiting at the airport.
Rather than opt for an hour's drive through
Tokyo, the family took a ride on board the promotional Valkyrie helicopter, reports Entertainmentwise.com.
In 2006, Cruise was named the most powerful celebrity in the world by Forbes magazine.
During his career as an actor, he has been nominated for three Oscars and has been the recipient of three Golden Globe Awards.
Previously, he has been married to Mimi Rogers (who introduced him to Scientology), Nicole Kidman and was also romantically linked with Penelope Cruz.
