It was a fulfilling trip.

A 5-night, 7-day trip to Finland
It includes an Aurora tour and husky rides, with travel from Rovaniemi to Helsinki on the Santa Claus Express.

It was a fulfilling trip.

I requested a plan for my stay in Finland during a trip to three Nordic countries.
Despite the last-minute request, they incorporated the activities I wanted, making it a very fulfilling trip.
I would have appreciated more detailed information about each plan, such as the required time.

    Hello, my name is Ruf! Nine years ago, my journey began in Norway. I was captivated by the breathtaking fjords, majestic mountains, and the beauty of cascading waterfalls, which ignited my passion for exploring the vast wilderness of the Nordic region. Through that experience, I developed a desire to share the unique sense of peace and vitality found in nature with as many people as possible—a feeling that I have encountered time and time again while traveling through Finland’s serene forests, Denmark’s picturesque countryside, and Sweden’s expansive landscapes. From camping near Preikestolen in Norway and exploring Bergen alongside local guides, to kayaking under the midnight sun and uncovering hidden gems throughout Northern Europe, these invaluable experiences have inspired me to help you embark on an unforgettable Nordic adventure. Let’s etch these travel memories into our hearts and create a truly exceptional journey that you’ll love to share with others!

What kind of country is Finland?

Finland, located on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, boasts beautiful nature and a rich history.

From the fortress of Suomenlinna near the capital Helsinki, the Bronze Age burial mounds of Sammallahdenmäki that evoke ancient history, to the Verla Groundwood and Board Mill, an industrial heritage site where you can still feel the atmosphere of the past, Finland offers a variety of World Heritage sites where nature and culture blend. There are many attractions, including Finnish architecture that has continued for over 800 years under various influences. The old towns along the Baltic Sea, such as Turku and Naantali, are also full of charm not found in Japan.
Of course, there are spots related to the iconic images of Northern Europe that Japanese people imagine, such as the aurora, Santa Claus, and Moomin Valley.


With Oooh, a local coordinator will tailor a memorable trip based on the things you vaguely want to do.

Various things to consider when traveling to Finland.

Climate and Best Seasons
The best season for tourism is generally considered to be the summer period (June to August), when daylight hours are long and the climate is comfortable.
However, for aurora observation, autumn, winter, and spring, especially autumn and spring, are the best times as aurora activity becomes more active.
・Spring (March to May): A time when temperatures gradually rise and daylight hours increase, offering beautiful scenery from melting snow.
・Summer (June to August): Long daylight hours, with the Arctic Circle experiencing the 'Midnight Sun' where the sun doesn't set all day.
・Autumn (September to November): A time suitable for aurora observation in the Arctic Circle and ideal for trekking.
・Winter (December to February): A season rich in winter activities, with opportunities for aurora observation in the Arctic Circle.

Cash, Cards, and Currency Exchange
・The currency unit of Finland is the Euro.
・You can exchange money in Japan and bring it with you, or exchange it at local airports or banks.
・Finland is highly cashless, and you can use credit cards almost everywhere, so there's little need to carry cash. However, some places do not accept American Express (AMEX) cards, so it's advisable to have Visa or Mastercard.
Tips
・Most hotels and restaurants include service charges in their fees, so tipping is not necessary.
・A €1 tip is required when using cloakrooms and similar services.
Safety
Finland is perceived as a relatively safe country in Europe, but it has a higher crime rate compared to Japan.
During the summer and winter tourist seasons, there are many cases of theft (pickpocketing and bag snatching) in urban areas like Helsinki, so caution is necessary.
Clothing
The country stretches from north to south, and the climate differs between coastal and inland areas, so Finland's temperatures vary greatly depending on the season and region.
Choose appropriate clothing based on the timing of your visit. Start with clothing suited to the most likely weather, and layering is recommended so you can adjust as needed.
Weather changes frequently throughout the day, and it may rain briefly, so having a waterproof windbreaker could be convenient.
Comfortable footwear like sneakers is recommended.
Things to Bring
Multi-plug adapter, regular medication, mobile battery, travel insurance, rain gear
Visa Requirements and Arrangements
For Japanese nationals traveling for purposes such as tourism or business trips without income, a visa is not required for stays of up to 90 days.
・However, in accordance with the regulations of the Schengen Agreement, to travel to Finland for a short stay, you must possess a passport that is valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date from the Schengen area and was issued within the last 10 years. ・Additionally, your passport must have at least two blank visa pages available.
Required Vaccinations
・There are no mandatory requirements for travel.
