There’s a little Netherlands in Nagasaki and in spring it transforms itself into a tulip paradise.
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.
