We can only do one big Asia trip this year and it’s down to South Korea or Japan, both first-timers for us. We’re after cities, food, history and a bit of nature, at a comfortable pace. For those who’ve done both, which makes the better first trip - and what tipped it for you?
Japan would be my suggestion for a first trip. It has a good balance of food, history, cities and nature, and getting around is quite straightforward.
