Posted by Ron Virmani on February 24th, 2016

Japan is really one of my favorite destinations whenever I want to have a vacation with my family and friends. Aside from the presence of both modern and traditional places, I also enjoy the beaches in Japan that all have amazing features. I am really thankful that my friend, Ron Virmani, told me about how nice it would be to visit Japan.

I have already been to many places in Japan but I just recently discovered that there is a town in Japan that looks exactly the same with Sweden. Ron Virmani is also the one who told me about this. According to him, the town is just 19 miles away from the city of Sapporo. This town in Japan is actually called as Sweden Hills because of its great similarity with Sweden. After hearing this news from Ron Virmani, I went to this town immediately because I am really curious of what it really looks like. After stepping foot in this Swedish-style town in Tobetsu which is located in the Hokkaido Island. I was really amazed by all the Swedish things in the town. I found folk crafts, foods and even clothes that are all Swedish in style. And according to one resident that I interviewed, they also celebrate traditional Swedish holidays in their town. Moreover, the architectural designs of the buildings and homes in the town are all European in style.

In addition, Ron Virmani and I found it astonishing that this town in Japan managed to have the same characteristics with Sweden which is 8,000 km or 5,000 miles away from Sweden. Experts say that this good relationship between Japan and Sweden actually began 30 years ago. The actual planning for the creation of the Sweden Hills in Japan began in 1979. Ron Virmani also told me that as of 2005, there are already around 550 residents in Sweden Hills. Also, the residents of Sweden Hills are practicing Swedish culture. In fact, residents of the town have learned the language of Sweden and they enjoy wearing traditional Swedish outfits during parties and festivals.

Indeed, there are many famous places in Japan that you need to visit with your family and friends. One of these famous places in Japan is the Sweden Hills. You will surely enjoy visiting Sweden Hills because you can get an idea of how beautiful it is to visit in Sweden even if you are just in Japan. So visit Sweden Hills now and be amazed by how much it looks like Sweden!
