Huis Ten Bosch

Huis Ten Bosch is a theme park in Nagasaki Prefecture that portrays a Dutch town complete with canals, recognizable windmills, lovely gardens, and impressive architecture. One of the three official houses of the Dutch royal family is the inspiration for its name.

In 1992, Huis Ten Bosch was constructed to honor the lengthy and fruitful history shared by the Netherlands and Japan. You can enjoy both free and paid attractions at the park, which is divided between a theme park section and a harbor area, including a boat cruise along canals. The park is exquisitely lit up at night, and you can view fireworks there as well.
