【フィンランド】ヘルシンキで絶対行きたいおすすめスポット‼︎飲食店やお土産もご紹介‼︎
Hello, this is Taka from Zipang55. I’m currently at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Finland. In my last video, I showed you aurora viewing in Inari, northern Finland. This time, I’d like to share with you a full tour of Finland’s capital, Helsinki, with this lineup. Please skip to the information you need in the description and watch. This channel mainly introduces hotels and other tourist spots around the country. Please subscribe and like the channel as it encourages me to continue making videos. Now, let’s get started. First, I’ll explain Helsinki’s transportation situation. By the way, you can purchase a SIM card at the kiosk right after you arrive at the airport. It’s quite cheap, costing just 5 euros for 5 days of unlimited data. All you have to do is replace the SIM card, so please give it a try. There are three ways to get from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to the city: bus, train, and taxi. Each option takes about 30 to 40 minutes to get to the city. The buses converge in one place, making it easy to find your way around. If you’re heading outside of Helsinki, you might consider taking the bus. If you’re heading into the city, the train is recommended and inexpensive. There’s a station directly connected to the airport, and following the signs will get you there without any problems. Since it’s quite deep underground, I had to take the escalator all the way down. You can use a single ticket for trains and other city transport. The HSL app is a convenient way to do this. Registering your credit card in the app allows you to purchase tickets anywhere. While you have to complete each purchase individually, you can purchase multiple tickets for each person, so you can also purchase tickets for your companions at once. Finnish trains don’t have ticket gates; you purchase your own ticket and show it to the attendant when they come by. Be careful, you’ll be fined if you don’t have one. There are also automatic ticket machines on the train platforms. Choose the section you’re traveling. If you’re heading from the airport to the city, choose section A, B, or C. The fare depends on the time and section. My trip took less than 90 minutes, and it cost 4.4 euros. Payment was accepted by credit card or cash. If you’re planning a full-day trip, I recommend purchasing an unlimited-ride ticket for 12 euros. While there are railways in central Finland, there seem to be none in the north. The arrival time at each station was clearly displayed. The train had many carriages, so it seemed like it could accommodate bicycles. The interior was clean and there were plenty of seats. The carriages were wide, so carrying large luggage like suitcases wouldn’t be too much of a hassle. The overhead shelves were also spacious. Some charging stations were also available, which was quite convenient. The train’s stops were also clearly displayed, making it easy to find your way around. At first, the train traveled through tunnels, but along the way, there were many lakes and forests, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Now, let’s enjoy the scenery from the train window until we arrived at Helsinki Central Station. We arrived at Helsinki Central Station. Because the train was long, the station platform was long. There were no ticket gates, making it easy to enter and exit the station. There were also a limited number of exits, so it seemed like it would be difficult to get lost. There were convenience stores and shops inside the station building. One thing to note when taking the train from Helsinki Central Station is that trains do not arrive at a fixed platform. You’ll need to check the signs to see which platform your train will arrive at and head there. Trains heading to the airport are marked with an airplane symbol, so you shouldn’t get lost. There are many trains, so it’s probably fine even if you don’t check in advance. This is the exterior of Central Station. Trams also run within the city, and you can identify them by number. Even if the number is the same, the direction may differ, so be sure to check the direction you’re traveling. The trams are clean, and the signs show stations, so they’re easy to understand. They run throughout the city, so make good use of them when sightseeing. Buses also have just as many routes as trams. Stops are also displayed, making them easy to understand. When you want to stop, press the button to exit. Note that the doors will only open if you press the open/close button yourself. Like other European cities, Helsinki uses standardized tickets for trains, trams, and buses, making sightseeing very easy. Next, we’ll introduce some recommended tourist spots. Our first stop is Helsinki Central Library, Oodi, located near Central Station. Opened in December 2018, it’s more than just a library; it’s a public space for the public, attracting international attention. The three-story building features a quiet reading area on the third floor, studios and workspaces on the second floor, 3D printers, sewing machines, and a recording studio. The first floor features a cafe, event space, exhibitions, and a cinema. It’s also located just a five-minute walk from Helsinki Central Station. Tourists are welcome, too, making it a popular place for Helsinki residents to relax. The third-floor reading area boasts a wide selection of books, including Japanese manga. Board games and DVDs are also available for loan. It’s wonderful to see such a wide selection available at a library. The bold exterior, a blend of glass and wood, and the spacious, natural-light-filled interior make it one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. There’s also a kids’ space, where parents and children can play. While we weren’t allowed to photograph the second floor, many people were working on equipment such as 3D printers. The first floor had a cafe and chessboard, both open to the public. You could easily spend a whole day here and still not get bored. Experience Finland’s modern architecture for yourself. Next up was Kamppi Chapel. This small church in the center of Helsinki is also known as the Chapel of Silence, known for offering tranquility and peace of mind amid the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s located right next to the Kamppi Center shopping mall, which we’ll introduce later. It wasn’t designed as a religious worship space, but as a space of silence open to everyone. Therefore, no masses or religious services are generally held there, and smartphones and talking are prohibited. City social workers and church counselors are on-site to provide mental health care. It’s free to enter, so be sure to stop by if you have time. Next up is Helsinki Cathedral, a symbol of Helsinki. It’s a 15-minute walk or a 7-minute tram ride from Central Station. Built between 1830 and 1852, it was originally built as Nikolaikirche and named after Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. At the time, Finland was an autonomous Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire. After Finland’s independence in 1917, it was renamed Helsinki Cathedral. Today, it is an important religious facility used for Finnish national events and special ceremonies. Considered a masterpiece of neoclassical architecture, it features a grand staircase, a huge central dome, and four smaller domes. Visits are free. Compared to other European churches, the interior is simple. It features an altar, an organ, and other features, and is decorated with a solemn yet understated design. The statue of Alexander II in front of the cathedral is still highly regarded, reflecting his relatively tolerant attitude toward Finland despite being a Russian emperor. It’s centrally located, so be sure to stop by. Next is Uspenski Cathedral, within walking distance of Helsinki Cathedral. It’s a 17-minute tram ride or 20-minute walk from Helsinki Central Station. This Eastern Orthodox cathedral is known as the largest Russian Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe. In stark contrast to the white of the Helsinki Cathedral, it is made of red brick, giving it a historic feel. There are 13 golden onion-shaped domes, which are said to symbolize Jesus and the 12 apostles. Tickets can also be purchased online for 5 euros per adult. Unlike the inside of Helsinki Cathedral, the deep colors of gold, blue, and red create a majestic atmosphere. The walls are decorated with icons, paintings unique to the Orthodox Church, depicting saints and biblical scenes. “Uspenski” means “Assumption of the Virgin Mary” in Slavic, and this cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The decorative wall separating the sanctuary from the chapel, the iconostasis, is an important element of Orthodox church architecture. This iconostasis, with its gold accents, is large, beautiful, and magnificent. It is highly regarded artistically, and some of the pieces are rare, having been crafted in Russia in the 19th century. Approximately 1-2% of Finland’s population is said to be Orthodox. Postcards and other items were also available. It’s a must-visit for the beautiful church. Nearby is the Old Market Hall, home to a collection of restaurants and cafes. The Old Market is a historic indoor market that opened in 1889. The port leading to the tourist attraction Suomenlinna Fortress is also nearby. Helsinki Cathedral, Uspenski Cathedral, and the Old Market are all nearby, so it might be a good idea to visit them all. The Old Market is also nearby, so it might be a good idea to visit them all. The square in front of the Old Market was also like a market, with fruits and vegetables for sale. Typical of Finland, there were plenty of blueberries and raspberries for sale. There were also many restaurants selling a variety of food. Overall, the food prices were a little on the pricey side. They also sold magnets. This is the entrance to the Old Market Hall. The Old Market Hall is an indoor market with about 30 stores. In the 19th century, food hygiene became a social priority, and it was built as a hygienic and well-maintained indoor market to replace the outdoor markets. Among the products on offer were smoked salmon, jerky, fresh herring, flounder, salmon, and reindeer meat. Fur and reindeer antlers were also available. There were also tapas-like dishes that looked delicious. Plated dishes were also available, and the portions looked generous. Cinnamon rolls, a popular Finnish staple, were also available. The food and ingredients were all delicious, even just looking at them. I especially recommend the salmon soup. This Soup Plus More is a popular restaurant frequented by locals. In addition to salmon, there are other soups made with various ingredients. They cost around 14 euros, and you can customize the size for an additional 2 euros. You can add olive oil, pepper, and other seasonings as you like. Bread was also served with the salmon soup. This is the salmon soup. It was quite large, enough for two people to share. I dipped bread in the olive oil, which was also very tasty. It went perfectly with the bread. The soup was richer and more delicious than I expected. The salmon seemed firmer than in Japan. I can see why it’s so popular. The seats were full at lunchtime, but the turnover was high, so I didn’t have to wait long. I highly recommend it. Next up is Löyly Helsinki, where you can experience an authentic sauna. Löyly is a modern and stylish public sauna and restaurant complex located on Helsinki’s waterfront. It’s about a 20-minute tram ride from Central Station. Opened in 2016, the facility features contemporary architecture and a unique design. The building’s exterior is a geometric structure covered in birch boards, reminiscent of a wooden sculpture. Inside, there’s a restaurant, open to those who aren’t sauna users. Orders are made at the counter and seated wherever available. Prices were around 20 euros, with a variety of options, from salads to hamburgers. It was quite busy, even around 2 p.m. It was raining today, so the terrace seats were sparsely populated, but it would still be pleasant to eat here while looking out at the ocean. Now, let’s head to the sauna. From the entrance, walk down the corridor to the left to find the reception desk. Advance reservations are required. Check the official website for available reservation times. Drinks and other items for use in the sauna can be purchased here. You’ll receive bath towels, face towels, and locker keys at the reception desk. The locker room was quite small. There are three saunas and a rest area. Both men and women are welcome to use the sauna in swimsuits. Drinking water was freely available. In Finland, people often cool off by dipping into lakes or the ocean instead of cold baths. This sauna also allows you to dip directly into the Baltic Sea. The sea was pretty rough, and I felt like I’d be swept away if I wasn’t careful. There were handrails, so it seemed like it was okay to just dip my body in the water. I went in September, so I was still able to go in, but it seems like it would be more difficult in winter. There was also a sauna overlooking the sea, and the temperature was set low. The sauna was right next door, so you could see the park. It felt a bit strange to be in a swimsuit in the middle of Helsinki. The sauna offered traditional Finnish saunas, including a smoke sauna and a wood-fired sauna. The sauna was spacious, so it didn’t feel cramped. It’s common for people to chat while in a Finnish sauna. There were tourists and locals enjoying conversations, creating a fun atmosphere. One thing to note is that the path from the sauna to the sea was a bit far, and there were times when we had to line up for the ladder to get into the water, which made me cold. The time limit was two hours, so it felt a bit rushed, considering the time it took to shower. The vanity was only large enough for two people, so it didn’t seem like you could take your time getting ready. It’s quite different from Japanese saunas, so it might be a good idea to go with the mindset of enjoying a sauna in a foreign country. The last recommended tourist spot is the Iittala & Arabia Design Center. It’s a little far from Central Station, about a 25-minute bus ride away. Located on the former Arabia factory site, it sells tableware from famous brands like Iittala and Arabia. It also displays the history of Iittala and Arabia. It previously housed a museum, but now half of the tableware sales area is used for exhibitions, which are free to visit. Arabia was founded in 1873 in the Arabia district on the outskirts of Helsinki, and the name of the area became the brand name. They are known for their durable, beautiful tableware that is easy to use in everyday life, and their simple yet warm designs. Iittala was founded in 1881 in the village of Iittala in southern Finland. They are primarily known for their glassware, ceramics, and cutlery. Both companies are now part of the Fiskars Group, so their exhibitions and sales are held in one location. There were many cute tableware items for sale in the sales area, and I thought the selection was quite extensive. It’s also a great place to buy everyday tableware. They also sell vintage tableware, including Finnish-made tableware, which is no longer available. Since it’s second-hand, the price seems to vary depending on the condition of the dish. Once it’s sold, it’s gone, so it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re interested in tableware, be sure to visit. Next, I’ll introduce some recommended restaurants. First up is Konstan Morja. It’s about a 10-minute tram ride from Central Station, but it’s also within walking distance. This restaurant serves Karelian home cooking in buffet format. Lunch is 16 euros, and dinner is 38 euros, so it’s a bit more expensive in the evening. The interior is reminiscent of a provincial home, creating a nice atmosphere. It wasn’t very large, so it was a bit crowded. There was a line for the buffet. The food is all in one place, so people don’t get spread out. They also have soups, potatoes, mashed potatoes, curry-like dishes, and rice-like dishes. This was a stew with meat and other ingredients. They have salads and sauces, which are eaten with mashed potatoes and other dishes. They also have several types of baguettes. It was dark and hard to see, but they had a salmon dish, which also had several types of sauce. For some reason, only home beer was available for free. Other alcoholic beverages were charged. The dishes looked like this. To be honest , I didn’t really know what they were. The individual dishes are simply seasoned, so they’re eaten with plenty of sauce. I saw a local person next to me eating it that way, so I tried it too. This gave it a rich flavor and was quite delicious. The soup was also rich and delicious on its own. I was able to skip the buffet line when it thinned out. I went in the evening, but it might be a good idea to go for a reasonably priced lunch. They serve Finnish home cooking, so if you have time, I recommend it. Next on my list is Cafe Aalto. It’s about a 10-minute walk from Central Station. The building was designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto and completed in 1969. Inside the building, there’s a bookstore on the first floor, and a cafe named after Alvar Aalto on the second floor. The bookstore is quite large and well-attended. This cafe appeared in the Japanese film “Seagull Diner” and is popular with Japanese tourists. The cafe sells a variety of items, including cakes and cinnamon rolls. There’s also a Japanese menu, which makes it easy to navigate. The prices may be a little on the pricey side, though. I ordered a cinnamon roll, cheesecake, and blueberry pie. The latte cup was also quite large. The cinnamon roll cost 6.3 euros, but it was quite large and satisfying. It might be a bit too much for one person. The coffee was lightly roasted in the Finnish style and was delicious. There aren’t many seats, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. It’s a nice place to stop by for a break. Next is Café Succès. It’s about a 15-minute tram ride or a 20-minute walk from Central Station. This long-established cafe, open since 1957, is famous for its cinnamon rolls. There’s outdoor terrace seating, but it was raining, so no one was there. The cinnamon rolls are reasonably priced at 4.4 euros, but they’re quite large and not too sweet, making them easy to eat. The portion is too much for one person, so it might be best to share. They also sell sandwiches, so you might want to get some for takeout. They also sell delicious sweet breads, so be sure to stop by for a break or a meal. For reference, here’s Lavintra Cahavila Suaomi, the setting for the film “Seagull Diner.” It’s currently located near Central Station, but it will be temporarily closed and relocated. Therefore, please check the opening hours and location before visiting. Here’s the exterior of the cafe. If you don’t order food, you can dine here from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM. Please note that you’ll need to order food if you visit outside of these hours. It appears they’re currently closed on Sundays. There aren’t many seats inside, so it was quite crowded. There was a Japanese staff member, so I was able to order in Japanese. The tables and chairs were wood-grain. The menu looked like this, and they offered a variety of Japanese classics. While it’s a bit pricey compared to Japan, I think it’s still reasonably priced compared to the cost of living here. I ordered Japanese tea. One tea mortar made enough for two cups, so we shared it. I ordered a cinnamon roll and a matcha parfait. Because this restaurant was featured in a movie, it’s popular with film buffs and tourists alike. Lots of locals frequented the restaurant , ordering Japanese food. The cinnamon roll was also not too sweet and easy to eat. Honestly, the matcha parfait was just regular matcha ice cream. Still, it’s comforting to be able to enjoy Japanese matcha in a foreign land. I’m not sure what the new location will be like after the relocation, but if you’re in Helsinki, be sure to stop by. Next, I’d like to introduce some recommended souvenirs. First, I’d like to introduce some recommended souvenirs you can buy at the supermarket. This time, I’ll introduce a supermarket located in Kamppi Shopping Center, near the Kamppi Chapel mentioned earlier. The Kmart inside this building has a wide selection and is highly recommended. They also sell fruit, salads, and sushi bread. It’s also a great place to buy food and take it out. There are many souvenirs available, but I’d like to introduce five. The first is Estrella’s cashew nut honey mix. There are many varieties, so choose one that suits your taste. The honey infused into the cashews is quite delicious. It’s also reasonably priced, so it makes a great gift for friends. The second is Finnish mustard. In Finland, it’s a popular condiment, enjoyed not only with meat dishes but also with French fries. It’s slightly sweet and mild, making it a great choice for children. There are four levels of spiciness to choose from, so choose the one that suits your taste. The third is Nordqvist tea. This tea maker has been beloved in Finland for nearly 50 years and offers a variety of flavors, including berry and floral. It’s light and easy to carry, and many of its products come in cute packaging, making it the perfect souvenir. They also offer herbal tea, rooibos tea, and more, so please choose your favorite. The fourth item is Marimekko paper napkins. Marimekko is a high-end brand, but they also produce paper napkins, which can be purchased at supermarkets. They come in multiple patterns and sizes, so you can choose the perfect one for your needs. Finally, there’s Fazer chocolate. In Finland, you can find it everywhere, including train stations, airports, and supermarkets. Founded in 1891, their chocolates are delicious and also recommended for their cute packaging. They’re also reasonably priced, making them a great souvenir to give to others. Supermarkets sell a wide variety of affordable souvenirs, so be sure to stop by. Next, we’ll introduce a shop selling sauna goods. When you think of Finland, you think of saunas. At Finnska Souvenir Sauna Boutique, you can purchase Finnish souvenirs and sauna gear. The shop is located near Helsinki Cathedral, about a 10-minute tram ride from Central Station. The shop sells Nordic-style stuffed animals and clothing. There were T-shirts with “Finland” written on them, warm-looking jackets, and scarves. They also sold magnets and key chains. These are sauna supplies. They were placed in one corner of the store. There was a wide variety of sauna hats. They also sold mats to put on sauna chairs. There were many different types, so it seemed like you could choose the one that suited you best. The more expensive the mats, the more patterns and thicker they were. They also sold buckets and ladles for loyly. It’s quite interesting just to look at them, so be sure to stop by while you’re sightseeing. Next up is the famous brand Marimekko. Their headquarters are located in the suburbs of Helsinki, but they also have many stores in the city. Each store carries different products, so it might be a good idea to visit a few different stores. Some stores have Japanese staff, so you can ask questions in Japanese. However, they are quite expensive, so it’s best to consider the price before purchasing. Duty-free shopping is also available, so if you’re interested, be sure to check them out. So, what did you think of this “Sightseeing in Helsinki”? It’s a wonderful city, full of charm. Be sure to experience the charm of nature and modern architecture. I hope this video will be of some use to you on your travels. Please subscribe, like, and give a super thanks, as it encourages me to continue making videos. Thank you for watching until the end. See you in the next video – goodbye
