Huis Ten Bosch, located in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, is Japan's largest theme park, covering approximately 152 hectares. Opened in 1992, this leisure and entertainment park is inspired by Dutch culture and European charm. The name “Huis Ten Bosch” originates from the Dutch royal palace, meaning “House in the Forest”, and the park's design faithfully recreates 17th-century Dutch streets, complete with canals, windmills, red-brick buildings, and European-style gardens, offering visitors a truly immersive European experience.
Throughout the year, Huis Ten Bosch hosts seasonal floral festivals, including tulips in spring, lavender in summer, roses in autumn, and spectacular winter illuminations, attracting countless visitors to admire its vibrant landscapes. In addition to its picturesque scenery, the park seamlessly blends technology and entertainment, featuring VR adventure attractions, a robot-operated restaurant, and more. For those looking to extend their stay, luxurious European-style hotels and natural hot springs provide an excellent accommodation experience.

In 1987, Dutch author Dick Bruna, the creator of Miffy, visited Nagasaki Holland Village, the predecessor of Huis Ten Bosch. It was during this visit that the first Miffy was born—wearing a red scarf, yellow wooden shoes, and holding a Dutch flag. This visit solidified Miffy’s Dutch heritage, and now, after nearly 40 years, she is set to become the star of Huis Ten Bosch’s newest themed park area, continuing the cultural connection between Japan and the Netherlandsas she celebrates her 70th birthday this year.
The Miffy Park at Huis Ten Bosch will recreate the storybook Dutch village, featuring attractions like Miffy’s Airplane Ride and Miffy’s Yacht Adventure, transporting visitors into the world of the beloved picture books.
