The allure that can't be realized with a tour

Booking a tour can be expensive
There was the disadvantage of limited flexibility.
However, by asking Oooh,
we were able to have a trip that fulfilled our desires
and also kept the costs significantly down.
Additionally, the hotel was chosen in a convenient location
making it a very fulfilling trip!

    I was raised amid the Alps of France and Switzerland, and I have always cherished the diverse landscapes of these beautiful countries. After earning my master’s degree in tourism, I worked as a bespoke travel planner in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, and later served as an event organizer for extreme sports competitions in Switzerland. Two years ago, I eventually settled in the Beaujolais region of France, where I now share my expertise on France, Switzerland, and Germany. I take pride in my excellent taste when it comes to accommodations, with a particular fondness for charming boutique hotels, and I love discovering new destinations and experiences. I promise to devote myself to providing you with a perfectly customized travel experience so that you can enjoy an unforgettable journey.

    I have been working at a travel agency for over 13 years. My passion for travel started at an early age, and thanks to the heritage of France and Spain, I had the opportunity to explore various cultures and languages. After living in Ireland and Spain, I moved to Sicily and began working as a trekking tour guide in the Aeolian Islands and on Mount Etna. This experience inspired me to plan personalized trips for those who want to truly explore Italy. I specialize in custom travel across Italy, focusing on regions such as Sicily, the Amalfi Coast, Naples, Puglia, Rome, Venice, the lakes, and Tuscany. I am particularly skilled at planning food and wine tours, diverse adventure trips, and classic itineraries, all with the goal of creating unforgettable experiences for every visitor.

What kind of country is Switzerland?

When you think of Switzerland, many people probably imagine the Alps and the world of the children's literature 'Heidi, Girl of the Alps.'

Of course, the Alps and the majestic mountains and the beautiful panoramas created by nature are attractive. On the other hand, there are cities that host various international organizations, historical heritage and deep culture nurtured by the diversity of four linguistic regions, and beautiful medieval towns. Surrounded by five countries—Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and Liechtenstein—travel by train, familiar to Japanese people, is also comfortable.

Since you have the chance to go to Europe, you might be able to extend your trip a little by consulting with the local staff at Oooh.

The entrance to the gorge lies beyond Altes Bad Pfäfers, featuring tunnels through the rock and well-maintained walking paths along the river. These paths lead to the cave where the spring originates and where the hot spring water flows into the river. This hot spring is slightly different from those in Japan.

Cash, Cards, and Currency Exchange
・It's advisable to exchange currency locally. You can also exchange it in Japan beforehand, but the rates are not favorable.
・Credit cards can be used in most places, and it's generally not the case that VISA and MasterCard are unusable. More small shops and stalls are accepting them.
・It is recommended to primarily use credit cards and carry a small amount of cash for emergencies, combining cash and card usage.
Tips
・Tipping is not very customary.
・In Switzerland, service charges are often included, so tipping is generally not necessary. As an exception, if you receive special services like carrying large luggage, giving 2-3 francs is appreciated.
Safety
・Switzerland is a relatively safe country in Europe. However, compared to Japan, petty crimes like pickpocketing and theft are more frequent, so caution is necessary.
・Be cautious in tourist-heavy urban areas, airports, stations, trains, and restaurants, as pickpocketing and theft occur frequently. To avoid becoming a victim, do not carry large amounts of cash, travel with minimal luggage, and avoid walking alone at night. Implement thorough security measures.
Clothing
・Switzerland's climate varies by region, so it's appropriate to wear clothing that can adapt to temperature changes.
・Due to significant altitude and temperature differences within a day, it's necessary to prepare clothing that is easy to put on and take off for adjustment. For example, wear a long-sleeved shirt or top as a base layer, with a cardigan or light sweater, fleece, etc., on top. In high-altitude areas, adding an outer layer to block the wind is advisable.
Things to Bring
Stomach medicine, cold medicine, mobile battery, insect repellent items, sun protection items, etc.
Visa Requirements and Arrangements
・For Japanese nationals visiting for tourism, business, diplomatic, or official purposes, a visa is not required for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. However, a passport issued within the last 10 years and valid for at least 3 months beyond the departure from Schengen countries, along with a return ticket, are required, so please verify in advance.
Required Vaccinations
・There are no mandatory requirements for travel. However, vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, rabies, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), DTP (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus), and polio are recommended.
