Christmas really does come early in Nagasaki—and, even if only 2% of Japanese are Christians, they do the season so well that this is really worth checking out. No sooner have you finished off the last Thanksgiving leftovers than the whole faux-Dutch village of Huisten Bosch spangles itself in festive lights and flings itself wholeheartedly into celebrating Yule.
Avoid the crush of last-minute Christmas shopping and drop into Huis Ten Bosch‘s markets for seasonal specialties, and get your holiday juices going with a leisurely stroll through the Christmas illuminations and displays.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
