There’s a little Netherlands in Nagasaki and in spring it transforms itself into a tulip paradise.
Pro tip: Extend your stay by staying overnight at the park at the magical Huis Ten Bosch Hotel Europe.
What happens?
There will be several sections in the theme park Huis Ten Bosch that celebrate the flower. Jump on the swing for two at Flower Road, grab some ice cream in Flower Square, feel like royalty at the palace, and enjoy the illuminated tulips at night.
Tickets
You will have to pay for an admission ticket to see the tulips. Get your tickets here.
Note that the park has dynamic pricing, so the price varies depending on the day you choose. Adult prices are ¥5,900 for access after 3 p.m., and ¥7,600 for a day passport.
How to get to Huis Ten Bosch
From Nagasaki Station, take a train (either the JR Seaside Liner Rapid or a normal train) to Huis Ten Bosch Station in Sasebo. The 90-minute ride costs about ¥1,470. There are also buses to Huis Ten Bosch available on weekends and holidays. If you have a SUNQ Pass, you can use that for the bus.
From Fukuoka, catch a JR train to Huis Ten Bosch Station.
If you’re driving, parking is available, from ¥800 to ¥2,500, depending on the size of the vehicle.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
