Taiwan is one of the popular travel destinations for Japanese travelers. It is perfect for first-time solo travelers and girls’ trips as it can be reached in about 3 to 4 hours from Japan and is relatively safe.

Taipei and Jiufen tend to get a lot of attention, but we also recommend Tainan and Kaohsiung, which are the best seasons for sightseeing. In addition to the nostalgic townscape and traditional architecture such as Lotus Pond, you can enjoy local gourmet food at the night market.

Thailand, which is about 6 hours away by direct flight from Japan, is also popular. There are many people who visit the historical buildings and latest spots in the urban area of ​​Bangkok, and enjoy authentic Thai cuisine.

November to February is considered the best season for sightseeing in Thailand, as it is the dry season and there is little rain. We also recommend visiting the beach resort of Phuket and the surrounding islands of Phi Phi Island and Racha Island.
