@tabii_k "つもりです" has NOT such a definitely intention like yours.

@tabii_k Yes, it is.
Could I ask you a question?
I think that
"I'm definitely going to go to Japan this year."
is similar to
"I shall go to Japan this year."
Am I wrong?
So I think that in the case, we say 「今年は"絶対に"日本に行きます。」

@Lucker Thank you for leaving coment! I was about to send you message too. I knew it wasn't quite right and I wanted to ask your opinion.
”つもりです” doesn't imply for someone who plans to go to Japan. If someone plans to go to Japan, it would be ”予定です”, right? Here's the thing I need to change my previous comment, you are right, this person is not "考えている_thinking" about going to Japan. But In my mind, the word つもり has some kind of uncertainty. What do you think @Lucker san?

No, it isn't. We often use "つもりです" on a daily basis in such case.

@josephlowe506 san, your question helps my brain work harder. Please don't relate to my answer at this time. I couldn't come up with the good English translation for your Japanese sentence:(

I think "shall" is different from what I said. Maybe I should have used "will" instead.
Since English isn't my main language, I'm not sure either.
Isn't "shall" more like "should"?
And "definitely going to" like "will"?@Lucker

@tabii_k Thank you for your comment.
> Isn't "shall" more like "should"?
> And "definitely going to" like "will"?
Exactly, "definitely going to" is similar to "will".
But, "つもり" has not such a strong intention as mentioned above.
So, we add some word to explain a delicate difference.
"できれば" 日本に行くつもりです
If it is possible, I am going to go to Japan.
"絶対に"日本にいくつもりです
I'll go to Japan.
I'm definitely going to go to Japan. (yours)
Probably, "I shall go to Japan" will be translated in「"何としてでも"日本に行きます。」
Anyway, I think that the word "definitely" is too strong that explain the meaning of "今年は日本に行くつもりです".
