“I want to plan a proposal that will be a lifelong memory.”
“I would love to have a wonderful proposal at Huis Ten Bosch.”

Huis Ten Bosch, a theme park that recreates beautiful European streetscapes and vast natural landscapes, is the perfect location for a special proposal. Within its rather exotic environment, you can recreate a romantic moment that feels just like a scene out of a movie.
In this article, we thoroughly explain the best proposal spots at Huis Ten Bosch, recommended plans, and the preparations you need to keep in mind beforehand.

What is Huis Ten Bosch?

Huis Ten Bosch is a theme park located in Sasebo City, Nagasaki, that recreates Dutch streetscapes. It boasts the largest site area of any single theme park in Japan.
The vast grounds are filled with beautiful flowers and canals, creating a distinct, exotic atmosphere. The park is particularly romantic at night when the illuminations light up the streets.
Access: Approx. 1 hour 45 minutes by limited express train from JR Hakata Station, or approx. 50 minutes by direct bus from Nagasaki Airport.
Tickets: 1-DAY Passport starts at ¥7,400.

5 Recommended Proposal Spots Inside Huis Ten Bosch

Here are five specific spots at the park that are perfect for a proposal.

Umbrella Street

Umbrella Street is a popular photo spot located in the Attraction Town at Huis Ten Bosch. Approximately 700 colorful umbrellas are suspended overhead, making for stunning photographs day or night.
On sunny days, the light filters through the umbrellas to create beautiful hues, lending a fantastical atmosphere. At night, the area is illuminated, offering an even more romantic ambience.
We recommend aiming for a quieter time when there are fewer people around before making your move.

Fantasia of Lights

Located in the Fantasia City of Lights, the ‘Fantasia of Lights’ is a spot featuring a magical light show. As night falls and the music begins, the dome at the square’s center lights up, while the buildings and streets along the canal are beautifully illuminated.
The show also incorporates projection mapping for a dynamic experience. Proposing right after enjoying this emotional and immersive show will surely create an unforgettable memory!

White Ferris Wheel

Located in the Art Garden, where you can enjoy luxurious gardens and illuminations, the White Ferris Wheel is one of the most popular attractions at Huis Ten Bosch.
Riding the Ferris wheel offers breathtaking views during the day, allowing you to take in the entire park and savor the European streetscape. At night, the Ferris wheel itself is beautifully illuminated, spreading out a stunning night view beneath you.
Many couples choose this private space for proposals and anniversaries; we highly recommend giving it a try.

Amsterdam City

Amsterdam City is a recommended spot for shopping at Huis Ten Bosch. Specifically, at ‘Studio Photogenic,’ you can rent dresses and take commemorative photos. You can even stroll around the grounds wearing the dress, making it possible to propose while dressed in costume.
It creates a unique experience that will certainly remain a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

De Admiraal

If you prefer a more formal proposal, we recommend proposing at a hotel restaurant. Hotel Europe within Huis Ten Bosch, houses the French restaurant ‘De Admiraal’.
This restaurant can arrange bouquets and cakes and help prepare the setting for your proposal.
After enjoying the attractions and shows in the park throughout the day, ending the night with a relaxed dinner and a perfectly timed proposal is a wonderful plan.

Hotel Proposals Nearby are Also Recommended

While we introduced photo spots and attractions inside the park above, areas around Huis Ten Bosch are home to numerous hotels perfect for a proposal, including the official hotels.
Here, we introduce hotels in the area that are ideal for the big moment.

Official Hotels

Huis Ten Bosch has five official hotels:
・Hotel Europe
・Hotel Amsterdam
・Hotel Den Haag
・Forest Villa
・Hotel Rotterdam

All hotels are located within or adjacent to the Huis Ten Bosch grounds, allowing guests to enjoy the theme park and return to their hotel rooms at any time. Notably, Hotel Europe, Hotel Amsterdam, and Forest Villa allow you to order special gifts perfect for proposals.

Some highly recommended plans include ‘Balloon Decoration’ or ‘Flower Decoration’ to surprise your partner in the hotel room.
Escort them to the room, and while they marvel at the decorations, present the ring and propose. You can also order cake and champagne, allowing you to savor the post-proposal glow together in the privacy of your room.

Hotel Okura JR Huis Ten Bosch

Hotel Okura JR Huis Ten Bosch is a beautifully designed hotel located just a 5-minute walk from JR Huis Ten Bosch Station.
Some rooms offer views of the theme park townscape, allowing you to savor that sense of escapism even when not within the park itself.
A recommended plan here is to stay in a suite and arrange for additional touches such as balloons, cake, and champagne. Your partner will surely be delighted by such a luxurious proposal.

Preparations Required Before the Proposal

Thorough preparation is key to a successful proposal. First, prepare the gift you wish to present. Engagement rings and bouquets are some standard gift choices.

Next, ensure you have an outfit suitable for the occasion. If you are planning a surprise proposal during the trip, we recommend using facilities like ‘Photogenic’ (mentioned earlier) to coordinate your partner’s outfit as well, making sure they feel comfortable and beautiful for the special moment.

Preserve Your Proposal in Photographs

A proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Why not capture it in photographs so you can revisit these memories anytime?
The staff at Huis Ten Bosch may be able to take photos for you, but we recommend hiring a professional photographer for this special occasion.
How to Propose offers a proposal photography service with on-location shooting available. We encourage you to make use of this service to preserve the memories of your proposal forever.
