Japan & South Korea in $730s-$790s RT

You’ve got a tough choice to make, Los Angeles. Luckily, there’s no wrong answer!

Seoul has the harsher winters, so make sure you’re prepared for the thermometer to hit freezing. But if you bring layers, you’ll be rewarded with some pretty magical views. Add in a few killer festivals and a ton of hearty Korean food, and you’ve got a proper winter wonderland.

Tokyo averages about 10 degrees warmer than Seoul in the winter, which makes a difference when you’re spending all day exploring what this megacity has to offer. It also does have Seoul (slightly) beat in the culinary department, which is something we definitely don’t say lightly.

Don’t worry if you’re having trouble making up your mind - you can always hit the other city next year :-)
