Which one for whom?

Why Spain?

It is recommended to visit Spain in spring and autumn. A stay of at least four days is suggested. It is a country that should be explored with a group of friends.

Spain is a country filled with historical and cultural riches. It is recommended to visit between April and June or September and October. It offers an experience filled with places and activities to explore for at least four days. Traveling with a group of friends will enhance the enjoyment of this beautiful country.

Why Japan?

Tokyo is pace. Kyoto is a breath. You can have both. A JR Pass is not required on every route.

Japan tires you less than you expect. What tires you is packing every neighborhood into the same day. In Tokyo, one neighborhood is a day. In Kyoto, a temple path walked before the crowd arrives is a different city.
