Why Morocco
Why Japanese travellers love Morocco.
Japanese travellers come to Tangier for the contrast and the closeness: a white kasbah and medina spilling down to the Strait of Gibraltar, café terraces looking across to Spain, and an easy gateway north to blue Chefchaouen and the Rif — all in one welcoming city where a private trip, and even a ferry crossing from Spain, turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
Getting there
Flights from Japan
Connect via a Gulf carrier (Qatar, Emirates, Etihad) or a European hub into Casablanca (then the Al Boraq train to Tangier) or onward to Tangier (TNG); total travel runs about 19–23 hours.

Time difference

When to go
The best time to visit.
April–June and September–October are ideal for Tangier — warm, breezy days on the Strait of Gibraltar, soft Atlantic-Mediterranean light over the kasbah and medina, and calm crossings if you arrive by ferry from Spain. July–August is hot and lively with beach crowds; winters are mild and green, perfect for quiet walks and day trips north to Chefchaouen.
