Some examples from dictionary.com:
--------------------
JUICY
--------------------
adjective, juicier, juiciest.
1. full of juice; succulent:
a juicy pear.
2. very profitable, appealing, interesting, satisfying, or substantive:
a juicy contract; a juicy part in a movie.
3. very interesting or colorful, especially when slightly scandalous or improper:
a juicy bit of gossip.
--------------------
SUCCULENT
--------------------
adjective
1. full of juice; juicy.
2. rich in desirable qualities.
3. affording mental nourishment.
4. (of a plant) having fleshy and juicy tissues.
noun
5. a succulent plant, as a sedum or cactus.
In other words, the first meaning of the two words is the same. The second is also relatively similar. But then the differences grow slightly bigger. And as mentioned above, "succulent" can also be a noun.
In daily conversation and in the first meaning, probably, "juicy" would be more natural.

Hello Kaori,
If you are speaking about food then there really isn't too much difference. Succulent means juicy or enjoyable to eat. Juicy means it has a lot of juice.
They can also have different meanings, too. A succulent is also a cactus-like plant. Juicy can also mean something that is satisfying or it can mean an interesting piece of gossip.
Happy studies!
