Things to do in Nagasaki Prefecture

If there’s one place in Japan that blends European fairytale charm with Japan’s breathtaking autumn colors, it’s Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki. Visiting in the fall transforms this Dutch-inspired theme park into a magical wonderland—think golden leaves, crisp breezes, romantic canals, and world-class illuminations that feel straight out of a movie. 🍂 Autumn Atmosphere Like No Other Huis Ten Bosch becomes especially stunning during autumn as its tree-lined streets shift from green to rich hues of amber, gold, and fiery red. Walking through the European villages feels like stepping inside a postcard. Every corner is picture-perfect—ideal for travelers, couples, and content creators looking for aesthetic fall backdrops. From flower gardens and museums to VR rides, cruises, and themed villages, there’s something for every type of traveler.

Experience: I recommend setting aside some time to first visit the Battleship Island Digital Museum to carefully read about the history of Battleship Island. There is a lot of information, which is very helpful for understanding Battleship Island. The weather was nice on the day of boarding, but the waves in the center of the sea were still very big. We finally managed to land on the island. Although we could only visit a small part, it was a truly special travel experience. Thank you to the tour guide for the explanation and the assistant for the help.

i got goosebumps the whole time i was in the museum. it was a good reminder and understanding of what happened with the Nagasaki.

Amazing is the word! I had a great experience in trip. All the locations were amazingly beautiful and our tour guide was so friendly and helpful. She tried her best to interact in English and was so supportive in every manner. All the places are must visit and overall it was a pleasure day following the perfect itinerary

The guide was on time and easy to talk to. We encountered an unforeseen closure or unavailability of an activity in my itinerary, he was helpful to suggest an alternative nearby. And was patient to wait for us to be done at each place.

One of the highlights of our cruise. If you are on a Cruise yourself "do not do it through the ship ". Book the first sailing (10.00) and catch a local bus (30 mins)or taxi (10 mins). We had about 50-100 people on this sailing and you were able to move around , pick a seat, take photos from different positions..Terrific. On our return the queue for the ship with the organised tour was horrendous. we watched them keep loading people on and on. Must have bern over 200-300 people.Which ever position they got on the ship, that was it. Packed in like sardines. It must have been horrendous.

it was easy to find the bus that would take us to Nagasaki. The time to go around Huis Ten Bosch was more than enough. The place was this incredibly beautiful and I loved how it mimicked Europe. There are multiple options for food, rides, and more. I had a fun time going on a date here. My partner had so much fun too.

The service company contacted us via line the day before the service and set up a group to add the driver. The driver was very professional and patient, and took us to various attractions in Itoshima. Public transportation in Itoshima is not so convenient, and it is worth chartering a car to travel around Itoshima.

very convenient. this voucher includes the bus ride (roundtrip) and the admission ticket. Bus terminal is also easy to spot. Huis Ten Bosch is a must place visit if you’re in the Kyushu/Fukuoka area. Please take note that you need to print the voucher.
