Huis Ten Bosch is the famous theme park with an amazing illumination that lasts from every year.
It is quite easy to reach this place because there is a direct train from Nagasaki Station to Sasebo Station at various times.
From Sasebo Station, it takes around 5 minutes walk to the main gate of the theme park and along the way you will find the beautiful European style hotel.
It is recommended to buy a one-day passport because you can cover the whole area and other attractions, over a day.
However, you need to pay extra money for some places.
Once you see the gate and you will feel that you’re traveling to Europe, because of similar architecture and atmosphere.
The Teddy Bear Museum is located close to the entrance gate.
It is quite an exciting place with its collection of teddy bears.
There is no restriction for using the camera here, so you can take as many pictures as you want anywhere and everywhere.
Next to the museum, there is a shop, where you can find different types of teddy bears.
The price range is wide but for products that are 'Made in Japan' the price is too expensive.
Next, is the famous photo spot in this theme park, which is the tulip garden with its miniature windmills from Netherlands.
Another interesting point is the variety of restaurants and attractions inside this theme park.
The restaurants inside the theme park offer a variety of food and people can find Asian and European cuisine as well.
Amsterdam Café could be a good choice to spend a relaxed time while watching performances held everyday in front of the café.
Moreover, there are three must visit attractions which are the Trick Art Museum, the Chocolate Museum, and the Tower, from where people can get a bird's eye view of the entire theme park.
In the Trick Art Museum, there are several spots to get funny pictures.
The Chocolate Museum is the best place to take rest with a chocolate drink.
But you will need to buy coupons to order a chocolate drink or pick the chocolate with different flavors.
The best time to visit the Tower is after the illumination begins at around 19:00 hours.
The picture below shows half of the theme park from above.
Visitors need to be patient to wait for your turn to take the pictures from above as it is very crowded and everyone is looking forward to capture the best shots from the best spot.
The park holds beautiful illumination events in any season according to different themes.
When I visit, It’s like the following pictures.
Next to the tower, is a illumination garden with different types of animals and the other beautiful decorations.
All amateur photographers will get beautiful pictures like in the promotional poster because the lighting helps to capture great photos.
People can enjoy the beautiful scenery while enjoying the evening parade.
