When you think of Sweden, you might imagine colorful red cottages, peaceful birch forests, cozy coffee breaks, and the gentle sound of laughter during fika. What if we told you there’s a place in Japan where you can experience exactly that? Welcome to Sweden Hills , a little slice of Sweden in the heart of Hokkaido.
Sweden Hills is not just a picturesque village; it’s a living symbol of the warmth and simplicity that Swedish culture brings wherever it goes. At Dream Candyland , we share this love for Sweden’s joyful, simple moments, which is why we want to take you on a journey through Sweden Hills while sharing how you can bring its sweet spirit into your everyday life through Swedish candy.
What Is Sweden Hills?
Sweden Hills (スウェーデンヒルズ) is a small, planned village located in Tōbetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. It began in the 1980s as a project of friendship and cultural exchange between Sweden and Japan, resulting in a beautiful neighborhood that mirrors a Swedish village, complete with red-and-white wooden cottages, birch-lined streets, and Nordic gardens.
The architecture of Sweden Hills is unmistakably Swedish, from the design of the homes to the carefully planned gardens and the cozy interiors that reflect Scandinavian minimalism and warmth. Even the community’s lifestyle is influenced by Sweden, with locals holding Swedish festivals, practicing traditional crafts, and embracing the slower, mindful pace of Swedish living.
Visitors can walk through Sweden Hills and feel transported to the countryside of Dalarna or the coastal roads of Skåne, experiencing a moment of peace that feels worlds away from the busy cities of Japan.
The Heart of Sweden Hills: Community, Nature, and Fika
What makes Sweden Hills special is not just its architecture but the way the community has embraced the Swedish spirit of togetherness . In Sweden, fika—taking a break with coffee, pastries, and friends—is not just a routine; it is a cultural cornerstone. Sweden Hills residents practice fika as part of daily life, gathering to share coffee, cinnamon buns, and stories under the soft glow of Hokkaido’s daylight.
Nature also plays a significant role in Sweden Hills. The seasons bring vibrant colors, with cherry blossoms in spring, lush green in summer, the warm hues of autumn leaves, and snow-covered cottages in winter. Just like in Sweden, nature is appreciated and respected here, adding to the village’s charm and peaceful atmosphere.
Festivals like Midsummer and Santa Lucia are celebrated with the same joy as in Sweden, with wreaths of flowers, candles, and traditional Swedish songs echoing through the village. These moments create a sense of belonging and connection—something we often seek in our busy, modern lives.
