I went here for the first time when weren't peak season, it's already summer on the first week of July so it was really hot. There was a collaboration with Evangelion, you can try some rides there.
They're famous for the Castella cake and it's so delicious. The building giving a vibes in Netherland for sure. They have the Molen, and some gardeners planting beautiful flowers.
If you go to Nagasaki, try to visit Sasebo city and go to Huis Ten Bosch!
The entrance fee per person is 7600 for a day pass. This is definitely pricey as foods/snacks are not included. However, all the rides are free. The lines were quite long so we only got on the Air Ride (100% have to go) and the Ferris wheel (basically no wait). The air ride was a 60 minute wait time for a 10 minute ride. We went on a Saturday btw.
The environment was super picturesque and the greenery was well cared for. It looked so nice that we thought the flowers were fake. We saw a lot of families there so it’s a perfect place to go spend time with your family. There are bicycles/rickshaws(?) that you can rent out if you don’t want to walk too far. The attraction is humongous so it got tiring to walk. There are buses and boats to bring you around though. We didn’t get handed a map so we just walked around aimlessly and explored as we went. I loved the ambient music that they played everywhere, it really made me feel like I was in another place.
A very large park with a Dutch themed surrounding. You could easily stay here a day in a relaxing manner if you plan to take rides in the park. There is a boat service that you can ride that goes around the canal so you do not have to walk all the way to the end where the tower is. Overall its a great place to stay a day. It's not as busy as the popular parks in Japan like Disney and USJ but the theming exceeds those parts in my opinion and its just way more relaxing. I even entered past 3 PM and you can get a discounted ticket.
Cute Dutch themed theme park that was surprisingly enjoyable. Don’t come here expecting amazing rides. Instead, come here to soak in the architecture and vibes. You can easily spend a whole day here just walking around the different zones, chilling, snacking and visiting the various attractions. We spent about 9 hours in here and skipped a bunch of rides. Instead, we just roamed around and explored every area. Thankfully it wasn’t super crowded so many attractions only had 5-10 min wait. We had lots of fun and definitely recommend for couples, families and kids!
Wife and I had a really nice time at the theme park for my wife's birthday celebration. We're in our mid '70s and wanted a place away from the crowded cities to relax and enjoy the leisurely walks in the park. Fabulous architectures and the attractions and rides are all geared for families with younger kids. We loved the fact that there really were no wild rollercoster rides and such that attracts the roudy and ill-tempered young adults and not-too-smart old ones. We were there in mid-April and the whole park was not crowded at all (probably fills up during the Golden Week right after our stay, so avoid that perios if can). Night illuminations, projection shows, and the short fireworks were all great. Many different restaurants and snack shops with decent quality and prices that were not overly expensive for a theme park (try going to Disney or Universal if you want rip-off prices). We stayed 2 nights at Hotel Europe at very reasonable price and 2nd day of park admission is free. Be warned that it can get quite windy and cold on cloudy, drizzling days like our 1st day so be prepared. We would do it again when we're back in this area.
