    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 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.

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.'

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.

    Located on the outskirts of Stockholm, this is the current residence of the Swedish royal family.

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.

・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.
Public order
・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.
