    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!

    Hello, my name is Rufo!
    9 years ago, my journey began in Norway. I was captivated by the breathtaking fjords, majestic mountains, and the beauty of cascading waterfalls, which sparked a passion for exploring the great outdoors of Scandinavia.

That feeling has been something I have experienced repeatedly while traveling through Finland's serene forests, Denmark's picturesque countryside, and Sweden's vast landscapes.
    Camping near Norway's Preikestolen, exploring Bergen with a local guide, kayaking under the midnight sun, and discovering hidden gems across the Nordic region—based on these precious experiences, we want to help create an unforgettable Nordic adventure for you. Let's craft a special journey together that will leave lasting memories in your heart and a story you'll want to share with others!

What kind of country is Norway?

Norway, a Nordic country with a land size almost the same as Japan, is long and narrow from north to south, with half of its territory located in the Arctic Circle, known as 'Lapland.'

The charm of Norway lies in its breathtaking nature. With a climate completely different from Japan, there are complex geographical formations like fjords and the Jostedalsbreen glacier, formed over an unimaginable span of time through glacial erosion. Additionally, there are various world heritage sites that convey human culture and history to the present, such as the colorful wooden warehouses of Bryggen, the industrial heritage of Rjukan and Notodden that developed as a new global industry in the early 20th century, the rock carvings of Alta believed to have been created between 4200 BC and 500 BC, and the wooden church of Urnes, which features an architectural style that blends Viking and Christian cultures that later spread to Norway.

Of course, there are also many spots where you can view the aurora during winter.

If you tell the local coordinator of Oooh the spots you want to visit or the scenery you want to see, you can create a special tailor-made trip just for you that is not included in any package!

  • Tromso

    Classic

    Area

    Located at 69°40' north latitude, this city is the central hub of Northern Norway and Troms County. Its picturesque streets have earned it the nickname "Paris of the North." Visitors can experience the aurora borealis in winter and the midnight sun in summer. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate is somewhat milder compared to other cities at the same latitude.

  • Jostedalsbreen Glacier

    Hidden Gem

    spot

    Located in western Norway, this glacier is the largest in mainland Europe. Despite Norway's relatively mild climate, the glacier is sustained not by low temperatures but by substantial snowfall. At an altitude of 300 meters, it branches into glacier arms that flow into separate valleys. Among these, the Briksdal Glacier is particularly famous. Visitors can also witness areas where the glacier descends into water.

Cash, Cards, and Currency Exchange
・The currency unit of Norway is the 'krone' (denoted as 'kr' or 'NOK'). The subunit is the 'øre', with 100 øre equaling 1 krone. Currency exchange is possible at local airports, but since credit cards are accepted in most places, cash is not often necessary.
・VISA and Mastercard can be used almost everywhere. However, American Express and JTB may not be accepted in some cases.
Tips
・Service charges are included in hotel and restaurant bills, so tipping is generally not necessary.
・For room service, leaving a tip of about 10 kroner is appreciated, and if the service was excellent, a tip of around 10% is welcomed.
Safety
Norway is often considered a relatively safe country, but compared to Japan, there is a higher occurrence of common crimes, with pickpocketing and theft being frequent. In crowded places like stations and tourist spots, it is necessary to be cautious against pickpocketing and theft by keeping valuables like bags securely on you.
Additionally, the area around Oslo Central Station is not considered safe, especially at night, so please avoid walking alone.
Clothing
・Due to Norway's extensive north-south geography, the timing of seasonal changes varies by region. ・Compared to Japan, Norway is generally colder, so it's essential to check the weather forecast for the area you plan to visit and choose appropriate clothing. ・Humidity is low year-round, and there is no rainy season. Except for the Arctic Circle, the Gulf Stream along the coast ensures a relatively mild climate for its latitude. Layering clothes for easy adjustment is recommended.
Things to Bring
Multi-plug, regular medication, mobile battery, travel insurance, warm clothing
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 provisions of the Schengen Agreement, which Norway is a part of, when traveling to Norway for a short stay, you must possess a passport that is valid for more than three months beyond the planned departure date from the Schengen area and was issued within the last ten years.
Required Vaccinations
・There are no mandatory requirements for travel.
