Huis Ten Bosch is a Dutch theme park in Sasebo, Nagasaki. You will feel like you are walking through a town in the Netherlands.

The detail put into the buildings is astonishing. Even some Dutch who have visited the park really feel like they are in their own country again. At least until they go inside one of the buildings, and find only the outside looks like home. Some visitors love Huis Ten Bosch while some others find it a big Potemkin village. You will also find a lot more signs in English instead of Dutch. But given how few people learn Dutch outside of Holland, it's not too much of a surprise.

But what makes Huis Ten Bosch so beautiful is during the flower seasons - like the tulips in March, or the hydrangea in June. Here you can see the hydrangea exploding in bloom all around you. And unless you are visiting Sasebo and can try something better elsewhere, you can also eat the famous Sasebo Burger, which is essentially a BLT cheeseburger with some egg salad topping.
You can also experience other amusement park rides like the Ferris wheel, zip lines, bungee jumping, water park, and other carnival type things. Night time also makes a big light show.

Japan and the Netherlands have had a trading relationship going back over 400 years, hence the creation of Huis Ten Bosch. The park was established in 1992 but went bankrupt in 2003 with a 2.2 billion yen debt. It was reorganized and is now owned by H.I.S. which is a major travel agency in Japan.
Although it is made to look like a Dutch town, you'll get a curious mix of music in various places, like Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York", Domenico Modugno's "Volare", and "Hotel California" by The Eagles. It's sorely doubtful you could have only Dutch music playing all around you (know any tunes?). But it does make you wonder who picks these things.

The music you hear was piped through around the hydrangea garden as well as the Huis Ten Bosch palace. It was hell to identify the compositions, but here it is in full hi fidelity.

This is the first 4K video of Huis Ten Bosch including the palace so enjoy it - with no yapping, no hammy theatrics and no over-gesticulating talking heads. This is Japan As It Truly Is!
