Huis Ten Bosch

Windmills, canals, tulips – Netherlands-inspired theme park Huis Ten Bosch meticulously recreates the scenery of the Low Countries on the outskirts of Sasebo, Nagasaki. Sprawling across some 150 hectares, the park is a small town in its own right, encompassing five hotels and several residential buildings as well as endless fields of flowers and plenty of fun rides. Getting around is an activity in itself, with canal boats, gondolas and quadricycles crisscrossing the grounds. In winter, one of the largest illumination shows in the world lits up the park in stunning fashion.
