    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 Sweden?

Sweden is a Nordic country located in the central and eastern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, with a land area slightly larger than Japan and a population similar to that of Tokyo's 23 wards.

It is a country where you can glimpse rich nature and traces of human habitation since prehistoric times. In the southern part of this long north-south country, there is the capital Stockholm, one of the largest cities in the Nordics, the city of Gothenburg with orange roofs reminiscent of Amsterdam, and the city of Malmö connected by a bridge to Denmark. From Stockholm, you can take day trips to suburban World Heritage sites. The northern part belongs to the area known as Lapland in the Arctic Circle, with Kiruna, known as a beautiful aurora observation site in winter, and the church village of Gammelstad, a World Heritage site still used for pilgrimages. Sweden, which has lived amidst the beauty and harshness of nature, also has multiple industrial cultural heritage sites and various attractions.

I want to know the Nordic region I admire! I want to visit the Nordics!

By consulting with the professionals at Oooh, you can turn your vague travel ideas into reality and enjoy a unique trip just for you.



Highlights of Sweden.

  • Stockholm

    Classic

    Area

    The capital of Sweden, often referred to as the "Water City" or the "Venice of the North." This beautiful city, which appears to float on water, originated in the mid-13th century on the small island of Stadsholmen. The charming old town of Gamla Stan, with its picturesque streets, along with various museums, offers plenty of attractions. It is also said to be one of the inspirations for the town of "Koriko" in the film 'Kiki's Delivery Service.'

  • Skogskyrkogården

    Classic

    spot

    A cemetery located on the outskirts of Stockholm, also known as the "Woodland Cemetery." Designed by architects selected through a competition, it features both a chapel and a burial ground. Remarkably, it took 25 years to complete. It was the first architectural structure built after the 20th century to be registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the nearby Tallum Pavilion, visitors can view exhibits about the two architects who designed the cemetery and its history.

It is also home to one of the observation points of the unique UNESCO World Heritage Site, the "Struve Geodetic Arc," which spans 10 countries. Every January, the city hosts a "Snow Festival," featuring contests for snow and ice sculptures. About 16 kilometers away in Jukkasjärvi, visitors can stay at the Ice Hotel, a hotel made entirely of ice.

  • Drottningholm Palace

    Classic

    spot

    Located on the outskirts of Stockholm, this is the current residence of the Swedish royal family. At its center is the Drottningholm Palace, built in the late 17th century by order of Queen Dowager Hedvig Eleonora, mother of King Charles XI of Sweden. The palace, along with the Court Theatre, the Chinese Pavilion, and the surrounding gardens, is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Often referred to as the "Versailles of the North," the areas of the palace not inhabited by the royal family are open to the public, much like the Imperial Palace in Japan.

Cash, Cards, and Currency Exchange
・The currency unit of Sweden is the Swedish Krona (svensk krona), abbreviated as "SEK." The subunit is the öre, with 100 öre equaling 1 krona.
・Exchanging cash at local airports or banks is recommended in terms of fees, but cashless transactions are becoming more common, so cash is rarely needed.
・VISA and Mastercard can be used almost everywhere. However, American Express and JTB may not be accepted in some places.
Tips
・Service charges are included in hotel and restaurant bills, so tipping is generally not necessary.
・If the service was good, a tip of about 10% is appreciated.
Safety
・Sweden is generally considered safe, but serious crimes such as gang conflicts, explosives, and murders occur more frequently than in Japan.
・Therefore, do not let your guard down and remain vigilant against crime.
Clothing
・Due to the country's north-south expanse, the seasons vary by region.
・It is recommended to check the weather of the area you will be staying in before departure and visit with clothing that allows for easy temperature adjustment.
・Thanks to the Gulf Stream, it is relatively mild for its latitude, but winters are still harsh. If visiting in winter for activities like aurora viewing, be sure to take adequate cold-weather precautions.
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, it is a condition that you have a passport that is valid for more than three months from the planned departure date and was issued within the last ten years.
Required Vaccinations
・There are no mandatory requirements for travel.
