Japan or europe?? what do you guys recomend?

Question

were thinking about taking a vacation but my gf and i have a choice.....japan or europe.

whats you guys opinion?

thanks guys.

Answer 1

if you can do both spend half the time in one fly to the other hang out for the rest of the time and then head home...best of both worlds.

Answer 2

Depends on where you live. Go to the place thats most different.

Answer 3

In my opinion Europe.

If both are places you have never been to before then Europe would be better.

This is because Europeans are more likely to have some communication of English.

Also with Europe the connections between countries are VERY easy and cheap via train.

So you can spend a day or two in France sleep on a night train to Germany wake up and explore a new country.

Europe is very easy to travel around from place to place so if you don't like it then go somewhere else.

Answer 4

If you are from Asia, I recommend Europe.

If you aren't, I recommend Japan.

Answer 5

Japan is good but expensive. Europe is good and not so expensive. Unless you're American. In which case Europe is good and expensive and Japan is good and very expensive......

So depends on your budget.

Answer 6

Actually lived in both and both are GREAT.  To expensive to do both in one trip probably, so you have to figure out what you want to do.  Europe is probably a little more tourist friendly, though the Japanese are super friendly people.  That my friend is such a hard toss up.  If I were a single guy, I'd head to the Far East, if I were a commited guy just wanting a nice vacation, well I'd probably do the Europe thing.  By the way, if you do Europe, get a Eurail pass and try to checkout, the Matterhorn in Switzerland, Rome, Naples, Palma.  You're going to have a blast, you really are.  Study up on what you want to do.  I think the best part of the vacation is the anticipation, I plan mine a year or more in advance.  Enjoy and good luck.

Answer 7

thats a hard one.....................JAPAN! More technology there and much more different from other countries.

Answer 8

Europe is better.

Answer 9

Listen,dear I'm European and If I have to choose I would go to Japan.

The reason is because in Japan there is a very different culture from us,Europeans.Anyway if your from Europe visit Japan,if your American..hard choice.

However,wherever you would go you would really have fun because both are very beautiful.:)

Answer 10

I would choose definitely Europe. I've been studying abroad in Japan for six months now, and I've come to realize it really isn't the most visitor friendly country in the world (for those who don't know the language). Everyone is extremely nice, but you will be stared at if you do not look like them. I was out the other day in Osaka and realized how difficult things would be if I didn't know Japanese as I was finding my way around the city in Japanese-only signs/pamphlets. It's definitely for the more adventurous, and I don't think you'll get too much relaxation if that's what you're looking for.

If you DO choose Japan, I suggest scheduling some tours or asking friends/family who have been here their suggestion for things to do. If you get out of the cities, it has many beautiful temples and national parks that you have to see to believe. Of course, every region/city has its own flavor, but I think in Europe you will be able to experience a wealth of languages/culture in a small geographic area. Things are also more multi-cultural in Europe a LITTLE cheaper now days… Japan is still bit more expensive than Europe even with the declining dollar.

I love Japan, but I think if you could only take one trip, you would get more from a European vacation.  

Hope this helps.

Answer 11

Europe is just a another Western oriented group of countries.  Definitely something new for you.
