First, you would say “I’m” in both cases. They are different tenses but there isn’t a difference in certainty in my opinion.
I’d use the latter if I wanted to excitedly announce a new trip.
The former sounds a little more factual. I’m going to Japan next year, but this year we’re focusing on China.

They are identical. An English speaker will say them interchangeably purely based on which comes to their tongue faster.
