Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki is known for going big with seasonal events, and autumn means one thing: Halloween.
What happens?
Celebrate spooky season against the backdrop of a faux European palace. Haunted Halloween at Huis Ten Bosch is back with fireworks and an abundance of sinister figures.
Ghost Miffy will do meet-and-greets, while the park’s usually serene boat Mariella will be turned into a nightmare cruise ship. A new character, known as the Death King, will also roam the grounds alongside mummies and pirates.
