As the only port opened to international trade in the Edo period, and the Dutch were the exclusive trading partner for over 2 decades, it was only natural that the Dutch-themed park - Huis Ten Bosch was built in Nagasaki. Huis Ten Bosch, which means "House in the Woods/bush", is named after one of the 3 official residences of the Dutch Royal Family in the Netherlands. This theme park replicates the old Dutch buildings you can find in the Netherlands, with various amusement rides and museums to keep you entertained. Check out the famous garden for the beautiful sea of seasonal flowers throughout the year, such as the Tulip Festival in spring. Soak in the Dutch ambience right in Nagasaki here!
