Have you ever wanted to lose yourself and have fun at least once in your life? If so, we recommend La Tomatina, the "Tomato Festival" held in the small town of Bunol in Spain. In this article, we asked a writer living in Valencia to tell us about the history of the tomato festival and some useful information. Why not take part in this unusual festival where the whole town is dyed bright red with tomatoes, and go on an extraordinary overseas trip?

Maybe you get a high fever just before a trip you were looking forward to, or a concert you had planned to attend gets canceled... Have you ever been disappointed by an unexpected problem and found yourself unable to go on a trip and having to pay a cancellation fee? Travel cancellation insurance can help you prepare for those "what if" worries. It's a reassuring insurance that can prepare you for cancellations, not only in the event of sudden illness or injury, but also when you're forced to cancel your trip due to unforeseen circumstances. We'll introduce the benefits of insurance that travel enthusiasts should see, adding peace of mind to your travel plans.

Want to go out whenever the urge strikes? Want to enjoy a trip with great value for money? For those of you who want to do so, we recommend the "Solo, Day Trip, 10,000 Yen Trip" by plane. By drastically reducing travel time by air, you can visit areas you've never been to before and accomplish the things you've always wanted to do, even on a short break like paid vacation! Another great thing about traveling alone is that you can pack in as many things as you want to do as you like.
