Huis Ten Bosch

A Small Europe Trip in Japan

European scenery in Japan. Huis Ten Bosch means “house in the forest” in Dutch,
and it is a theme resort park that realistically recreates Dutch royal palaces and streets. Because of this, it is often called “a small Europe in Japan.”

With one Huis Ten Bosch Passport (admission ticket), you can enjoy the following facilities and content all day.

• All attractions
• Park shuttle buses
• Canal Cruiser (canal boat)
• Limited-time events & exhibitions
• Museum visits

You can also buy limited-time tickets and premium tickets separately.

• Limited-time tickets: During event periods, you may receive better seats or special perks.
• Premium tickets: You can enter 6 or 3 popular attractions without waiting in line. (※ Passport ticket sold separately)

There are also tickets based on entry time.

• After Passport: Entry available after 3:00 p.m.
• 1.5-Day Passport: Afternoon on Day 1 + full day on Day 2
• 2-Day Passport: Full-day entry for two consecutive days

At night, the newly introduced three-tier cake-style carousel lights up and creates an even more impressive atmosphere.

Hotel Stay Benefits

• If you stay at Hotel Europe, Hotel Amsterdam, or Forest Villa,
  guests using the “Stay Plan with a Next-Day 1DAY Passport” can receive an extra 1DAY Passport for the next day at the reception,
  only if they purchased an admission ticket on the check-in day.
• This means you can enjoy the theme park for a total of two days:
  buy the Passport at the regular price on Day 1, and use the free Passport provided by the reception on Day 2.
