Norway reviews

plane Norway

July 4, 2025

This was my first time experiencing a trip that was such a perfect fit for me!

I had the pleasure of taking a 14-day tour around the four Nordic countries! 😊
(Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland)

I've always dreamed of visiting the Nordics, but when it comes to touring multiple countries, the different currencies, languages, and all the route planning can be overwhelming...
Honestly, I thought planning everything myself might be too much, so I tried a custom-made tour for the first time.

After trying it, I realized the stress-free schedule and peace of mind were on a whole different level! 👏

All I had to do was roughly share the places I wanted to visit and the things I absolutely wanted to do, and they suggested an itinerary that matched my wishes perfectly—I felt I could really trust them! ✨

I was able to travel efficiently, but without feeling rushed or overloaded.
I got to travel along an ideal route I never could have found on my own, and I’m extremely satisfied! 🥰

With a custom-made tour, I still had the freedom of independent travel, but the professionals took care of all the planning for me. I’m so glad I chose this option! 🙆‍♀️

    Hello, my name is Rufo! My journey began in Norway 9 years ago. Captivated by the beauty of breathtaking fjords, majestic mountains, and cascading waterfalls, I developed a passion for exploring the great outdoors of Northern Europe. Through this experience, I've come to want to share the unique peace and vitality I feel in nature with many people. I've felt this sensation countless times while traveling through the serene forests of Finland, the beautiful countryside of Denmark, and the vast lands of Sweden. Based on these valuable experiences, such as camping near Preikestolen in Norway, exploring Bergen with a local guide, kayaking under the midnight sun, and discovering hidden gems across Northern Europe, I want to help you have an unforgettable Nordic adventure. Let's create a special journey that will be etched in your memories and make you want to tell others about it!

    Hello, my name is Rufo!
    Nine years ago, my journey began in Norway. I was enchanted by breathtaking fjords, majestic mountains, and the beauty of cascading waterfalls, which sparked my passion for exploring the great outdoors of Scandinavia. Through these experiences, I came to wish to share the unique sense of tranquility and energy that nature brings with many others. I have felt this same sensation time and again while traveling through Finland’s peaceful forests, Denmark’s beautiful countryside, and Sweden’s vast landscapes.
    From camping near Norway’s Preikestolen, exploring Bergen with local guides, kayaking under the midnight sun, to discovering hidden gems across Scandinavia—these precious experiences inspire me to help you create unforgettable adventures in the Nordics. Let’s craft a special journey together, one that will leave lasting memories and stories you’ll want to share!

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!

    hidden gem

    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.
Public order
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 you should bring
Multi-plug adapters, any regular medications, a mobile power bank, overseas travel insurance, and warm clothing.
Visa availability 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 entry.
