Huis Ten Bosch Christmas Town

Christmas really does come early in Nagasaki. Even if only 2% of Japanese are Christians, they do the season so well that this is really worth checking out. As soon as Halloween ends, the whole faux-Dutch “village” (it’s more like a theme park) of Huis Ten Bosch reinvents itself by donning festive lights and ringing up Santa Claus.

The 2022 Christmas event will see the world’s largest carousel — three tiers of horsey madness, fireworks, and incredible illuminations.
