Why Morocco

Why Japanese travellers love Morocco.

Japanese travellers come to Morocco for the contrast and the closeness: imperial cities, the Sahara, the Atlas mountains and the Atlantic coast, all in one welcoming country where a private trip turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
