I've decided/I decide

I dont even know when I will visit yet, so we could talk about it when I've decided/I decide to actually make a trip to Japan.

Are both methods okay in this premise.

Thank you.

Something isn't quite right here. Visit Japan? If I understand what you mean, I'd say it like this: I don't even know if I'll visit Japan yet, so let's wait to talk about it until after I've actually decided to make the trip.

  • Something isn't quite right here.
  • Visit Japan?
  • If I understand what you mean, I'd say it like this: I don't even know if I'll visit Japan yet, so let's wait to talk about it until after I've actually decided to make the trip.
  • ( ...
  • ) You're right about the decide/ have decided choice.

( ... after I actually decide to make the trip.)

You're right about the decide/ have decided choice. Both work.

Could you tell me

I think it was mostly a matter of my not knowing the context. Maybe you could say "thought process" or "wording".

As a completely isolated sentence, it works better if you mention Japan earlier in the sentence. But if this is just part of a longer message where Japan has already been mentioned, then it isn't a problem.
