It was a Dutch theme park created in Sasebo City by Japan, which opened the door to the Netherlands even during the period of the seclusion policy. A Dutch-style city was built on a vast land.

There are no amusement facilities. Depending on your travel preferences, you can spend time inside or get bored.

It opened in 1992. There are 400,000 trees and 300,000 species of flowers growing on a large 1.52 site, and there is a canal 6km long, 20m wide and 5m deep. It is called'the Netherlands in Japan' by reproducing the royal palaces and streets of the Netherlands in the 17th century. Huis Ten Bosch means'house in the forest' in Dutch. There are post offices, banks, and fire stations in the park, reminiscent of a small city, and facilities such as the mysterious escher, anti-sailing experience hall, Noah's theater, heavenly hall, and Horizon Adventure are gaining popularity.

'Mysterious Eshur' is based on the concept of Dutch painter Escher (MC Escher: 1898~1972), who is famous for his illusory paintings, by creating a theater staircase, causing the audience to lose their sense of direction. It is a device that moves the floor according to the reflected image, giving the impression of being on a Dutch sailing boat in the 17th century.

In Noah's Theater, a movie about saving the planet from environmental pollution is screened. In addition, in the Cheonseong Hall , astrology shows are shown using computer technology. Horizon Adventure introduces one of the great floods that have been plaguing the Netherlands for centuries by the sea goddess named Ran. It creates floods and waves with 800 tons of water to show realistic simulation shows.

The Carillon Symphonica, the first museum in Japan to exhibit carillons and bells imported from all over the world, a ceramics museum that collects Eastern and Western ceramics, and the Tall Ship Museum, which displays the history of the Dutch maritime trade. Etc.
