Huis Ten Bosch

#mytraveldiary #huistenbosch Visiting Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki felt like stepping into a European town without leaving Japan. The streets were lined with Dutch-style buildings, canals, and colorful flowers that created a charming, picturesque setting. I loved exploring the various attractions, from museums and gardens to light displays that made the park magical in the evening. Riding a boat along the canals gave me a relaxing view of the whole area, and the windmill and tulip gardens made it feel like I was truly in the Netherlands. For me, Huis Ten Bosch was more than just a theme park—it was a beautiful escape, combining culture, scenery, and fun in one unforgettable experience.

I visited Huis Ten Bosch, and the beautiful scenery that made me feel as if I had wandered into a European town was truly breathtaking. Since my first visit in high school, I've been there three times! The nighttime illuminations were especially stunning, with the vast grounds lit up in a dazzling display that created a magical atmosphere. There are plenty of attractions to enjoy with kids, including athletic activities, a Ferris wheel, VR experiences, and more—all of which are exciting and fun! Seasonal events are also abundant, ensuring you can enjoy yourself all day without getting bored. The dining options are diverse, and having a meal while admiring the Dutch-style townscape adds a special touch to the experience. It's a place where you can create wonderful memories, making it worth visiting for families, couples, or friends. Next time, I want to visit during a different season to enjoy new scenery and events! 76000〜 〒859-3243 Nagasaki Prefecture, Sasebo City, Huis Ten Bosch Town 1-1

Huis Ten Bosch is a must-visit destination if you're traveling to Kyushu, Japan. Situated in Nagasaki Prefecture, this theme park transports you to the Netherlands with its Dutch-style buildings, canals, windmills, and a variety of attractions and rides. We traveled by train from Fukuoka, which took approximately 2 hours. There are two ticket options available: a full-day ticket and a 3:00 PM ticket, which is slightly cheaper. The park hosts numerous events such as Halloween celebrations, Christmas illuminations, and fireworks displays, so be sure to check the schedule before planning your visit. This place truly feels magical, and I highly recommend spending an entire day or even two there (you can stay at one of the many hotels on-site). ✨

A travelogue of four men visiting Fukuoka, covering Nagasaki, Yufuin, Beppu, and Fukuoka over 3 nights and 4 days. Nagasaki One unexpectedly delightful spot in Nagasaki was Huis Ten Bosch. The admission fee for adults is quite steep at 7,300 yen per day, but the interior is designed in a Dutch style, meticulously replicating the atmosphere of Europe rather than being hastily put together. It genuinely felt like being in Europe. When we visited, there were quite a few Japanese middle and high school students on what seemed to be school trips, indicating that this place is popular not only among Koreans but also locals. Besides, there are numerous attractions inside, and the beautifully blooming flowers made every step enjoyable. However, the price is a bit high; I’d consider revisiting if it were around 50,000 won. For dining in Nagasaki, I strongly recommend Katsushika. It’s a must-try. The gyukatsu, minced katsu, and hire katsu are delicious in that order. Hita The small town of Hita offers a subtle glimpse into the streets of old Japan. The rain added to the charm, making it a surprisingly memorable city. I highly recommend the cheese roll cake at Mameda Roll Sui Café. Yufuin Yufuin is so famous that it hardly needs an introduction. I recommend visiting the Ghibli Street there. Beppu Beppu is renowned for its hot springs. We only visited Umi Jigoku, but it was worth the admission fee. The weather also played a part in enhancing the experience. We went to Hyotan Onsen, and since it was the off-season, there weren’t many people. It features open-air baths, and the waterfall-like streams in one of the baths provided a full-body massage, which was fantastic. However, I was disappointed that the milk vending machine was out of stock, and there weren’t many milk vending machines installed in the first place. Fukuoka No matter where you go, Fukuoka is full of romance and great food. For yakitori, I recommend Torikawa Yaki Ku in Fukuoka. They have Korean menus, the staff are very friendly, and some of them speak a bit of Korean, making it a good place for beginners to try yakitori. Overall, the yakitori dishes were all delicious.

The park is so vast that it's impossible to explore it all in one day, but since it was hot outside, we tried to enjoy as much as possible indoors where it was cooler. 😉 There are many indoor attractions, which is great. However, there are relatively fewer activities for small children. Still, strolling through the park feels like walking through a foreign town, which is very enjoyable. 😍 There’s also a lazy river pool, and if we had more time, we would have loved to enjoy the pool as well. 😉 Even though it was a weekday, we got to enjoy the night show. The illuminated fountains and fireworks were stunning. The nighttime carousel was also very beautiful. It’s a three-story carousel; the first floor wasn’t too crowded, but the third floor seemed to be very popular, with quite a long waiting time.

#hellohalloween Located in Sasebo, Nagasaki, Huis Ten Bosch is a magical escape where the charm of the Netherlands comes alive right in Japan. With its windmills, canals, and colorful flower gardens, the park feels like stepping into a storybook. Every corner bursts with color and detail — from the cobblestone streets lined with tulips to the elegant Dutch-style buildings that sparkle under both the sun and night lights. By day, visitors can wander through blooming gardens, enjoy boat rides along the canals, or explore fascinating museums and themed attractions. Come evening, the park transforms into a wonderland of lights, with spectacular illuminations reflecting on the water and music filling the air. Seasonal events — from tulip festivals in spring to dazzling winter illuminations — make every visit feel unique and enchanting. Huis Ten Bosch is more than just a theme park; it’s a blend of beauty, culture, and creativity. Whether you’re sipping coffee at a riverside café, cycling through floral paths, or watching the nightly fireworks over the castle, it offers moments that feel far away from the everyday — a little slice of Europe wrapped in Japanese warmth and perfection.

I wnet here with after 3Passport. It only cost ¥5,600 per person which is so affordable. We can enjoy 40attractions,event, shows and the museum. At first i went to ride a boat at the canal and see the park around and we take a lot of pictures while the sky is still bright. And take a rest at the cute cafe and drink the cute mocktails. And going to the museums. After eat dinner we take a pitcures in front of the merry go round. The lights is soo beautiful at night. Then go back to our hotel at 7pm. I recommend u to use the after 3 passport because we still can enjoy a lot of things here.

I mainly went there for the 3-story carousel. It was mid-December, just before Christmas, and the entire park had a European architectural feel. With the Christmas lights, it was incredibly romantic at night! Just walking around and taking photos took me a whole day! Plus, there weren't many people on weekdays, so you could take your time finding the perfect angles for beautiful photos!

I visited Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki Prefecture! 📍 Huis Ten Bosch Town 1-1, Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture This is a famous tourist spot in Nagasaki modeled after the Netherlands! I went during the Christmas season and got to see the beautiful Christmas illuminations!! I bought an After 3 Passport, which allows entry from 3 PM! We enjoyed a meal at a restaurant, admired the illuminations, took photos at various spots, and had a great time even from 3 PM!!! The buildings modeled after the Netherlands were very charming and there were many highlights!! We dined at an Italian restaurant called Pinocchio! Eating delicious pizza and pasta on the terrace while watching the illuminations made for an unforgettable memory!!
