Huis Ten Bosch

Huis Ten Bosch is a sprawling theme park in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, that meticulously recreates a Dutch town complete with full-scale replicas of historic buildings, canals lined with European-style homes, and towering windmills surrounded by seasonal flower fields. Covering 152 hectares, it is the largest theme park in Japan and features a wide range of attractions including boat cruises, VR experiences, museums, and one of the country's most spectacular illumination displays that draws visitors throughout the winter season. The park is divided into themed zones, each offering a distinct atmosphere from charming cobblestone streets to bustling entertainment areas with games and live performances. Seasonal events highlight millions of tulips in spring, roses in summer, and over 13 million LED lights during the winter Kingdom of Light festival. With on-site hotels, restaurants, and shopping, Huis Ten Bosch offers a full resort experience that feels like stepping into the Netherlands without leaving Japan.
