About NAVIA

NAVIA is a web media platform dedicated to exploring the culture and lifestyle of Northern Europe in depth, offering diverse perspectives on its unique charm.

When people think of Northern Europe, they often picture breathtaking natural landscapes, refined design, and a simple yet comfortable way of living. However, these elements are deeply rooted in a long history and distinctive values. At NAVIA, I cover a broad range of topics, including Nordic history, culture, traditions, architecture, art, design, lifestyle, and the profound connection between people and nature.

Additionally, I introduce Nordic words and proverbs, allowing readers to gain insight into the philosophies and values cherished by the people of Northern Europe. For example, concepts such as the Danish “Hygge” and the Swedish “Lagom” provide inspiration for creating a simple yet fulfilling life.

Whether you are planning a trip to Northern Europe, looking to incorporate Nordic living into your daily routine, or simply wish to deepen your understanding of Nordic culture, NAVIA is here to guide you on your journey.

About the Founder: Haruno Ito

My name is Haruno Ito, and I am the founder of NAVIA.

Captivated by the beauty of Northern European culture and nature, I launched this platform to share its philosophy and aesthetic with a wider audience. The Nordic region is home to vast and serene landscapes, sophisticated design, and a wealth of wisdom that enriches everyday life. As I delved deeper into its charm, my desire to learn more only grew stronger.

At NAVIA, I explore Northern Europe from various angles, covering topics such as history, culture, architecture, cuisine, and lifestyle. I have come to realize that understanding Nordic values and ways of thinking offers countless insights that can be applied to our own lives. Concepts like “Hygge” and “Lagom” reflect the Nordic commitment to simplicity and comfort, and their philosophy can be embraced in daily life, no matter where we are.

Through this platform, I hope to provide valuable information and fresh perspectives for those who are already interested in Northern Europe, as well as for those who are just beginning to discover its wonders. My goal is to make the world of Northern Europe feel more accessible and enjoyable for all.

Let’s embark on this journey together and explore the richness of Nordic culture!
