Huis Ten Bosch means "House in Forest" in Netherlandic. It takes one and half hours from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Nagasaki Airportand one hour from the airport to Huis Ten Bosch.

There are playing, staying, shopping and watching areas in the spot. Concept of this amusement area is old good days of Europe and I could feel it.

For example, Hotels in central Paris, like in the area of Arch of Triumph, are very traditional but sometimes facilities inside are old. Balance between traditional and convenience is difficult. However, outside of Huis Ten Bosch buildings are very traditional but inside of the buildings are equipped with modern facilities. Then you can spend your time as good old days of Europe with modern convenience.
