Baths Around Huis Ten Bosch

Spread along Omura Bay in Sasebo, Huis Ten Bosch is a popular theme park that recreates the streets of Europe. Around it, resort hotels and bathing facilities with bay views are scattered about, gently soothing the body after a full day of fun. After a day awash in flowers and light, you can round off the trip with warm water.

Highlights

Known for its colorful flowers and illuminations, the park changes its look with each season. Canal cruises and views from a tall tower are also draws. Nearby, the calm scenery of Omura Bay opens up, and you can take in the view at leisure from a bay facing bath. Sasebos local cuisine is another pleasure of the journey.

Enjoying the Seasons

Tulips in spring, roses and hydrangeas in early summer, autumn blooms, and grand winter illuminations bring seasonal color. After a long walk through the grounds, a hot spring is welcome in any season.

Access and Basic Information

It is close to the nearest JR station, so rail access is easy. You can also drive from central Sasebo or the Nagasaki direction. Many bay view lodgings have large baths, and some facilities allow day use.

A Quick Tip

The park is large and involves plenty of walking, so let the water ease your tired feet. If you plan to enjoy the illuminations, an evening bath to warm up before the night stroll is a good idea.
