Seeing a Dutch theme park on the other side of the world is wild for a Dutch person. The level of detail is insane, even spot on with the weather; you could even fool me. Excellent job with this video!

[@Scodiddly]

How about the mountains? ;) ;) ;)

Yeah, even the weather was spot on. This japanese tech is insane 😂

We have the Vaalserberg. 322 metres high! Although in the Caribbean Netherlands there is Mount Scenery on Saba which is 887 metres high.

[@thijs2906]

It's not really weird when you consider the Netherlands was Japan's only trading partner and source of information on the outside world for more than 200 years. The Meiji-restoration which saw Japan basicly become modern was achieved through the Iwakura-mission around the world to learn from Western European powers. It was an idea proposed by a dutch engineer named Guido Verbeck.

[@Lord_RFAS]

Yeah, and also a definite lack of bikes.

[@olafdoppenberg4874]

As a Dutch person I can confirm that this theme park is very realistic. The weather is typically Dutch and there’s even the same amount of Japanese tourists!!!

The level of detail in the architecture is honestly astounding. I live very close to the real Huis ten Bosch and it is a near exact replica. Funnily enough there is a very humble Japanese Garden (at a mansion called Clingendael) not far away from the Huis ten Bosch in The Hague, which is a favourite spot for locals to visit. Pretty great to see the mutual cultural interest between Japan and the Netherlands blossoming today still from its 16th century beginnings!

I've been at Huis Ten Bosch Nagasaki in 2014 and as a Dutchy, I can say it mimics our small country quite well. Thoughh, it was quite surreal to walk in a japanes representation of our buildings and structures. When the local visitors knew we were Dutch the party started... I had to have pictures taken with many many many visitors. It was a weird but fun day.

I worked there in 1991 and 1992 as a Chef in one of the hotels. Just after the opening in 1990. On this video it looks rather quiet in regards to visitors, at that time we recieved over 10K visitors per day. It is nice to see how the city has developed and that is exactly line with h the vision of the original creator and architect Mr. Yoshikuni Kamika. Amazing

[@Kellehy]

Absolutely incredible. I'm at a loss for words just how detailed this park is, the owners must have loved the Netherlands a lot

[@ym5891]

I thought about this myself, and luckily knowing a fair bit of history, I think I know why; The Dutch and Japanese have had close trading ties for a long time. Due to the Catholic tendency to convert people in other countries - which the Japanese weren't fond of - the Dutch were majority Protestant and did not have that tendency. And thus for a long time the Dutch were the *only* Westerners allowed to trade in Japan. This ofcourse means that the Japanese had far more cultural exchange with the Dutch rather than anyone else, which explains the interest they have in Dutch culture. There's a few interesting videos on youtube about it, look up 'netherlands japan trade' and I'm sure you'll find them!

[@olefredrikskjegstad5972]

The reason why someone in Japan might want to build something like this is an interesting idea in itself. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that for most of Japan's isolationist Edo Period, the Netherlands were their only regular link to the outside world. There was a Dutch Enclave in Nagasaki, and Dutch delegations gave the Japanese everything from updates on current events outside of Japan to books on Science and Medicine.

[@MrCaZzzle]

Pretty surreal to see an amusement park of your own country on the other side of the world. The beuildings look spot on btw!

[@moneecah]

As a dutch person, it's creepy how ACCURATE this is. They even thought of all the details, nothing seems out of place except for the mountains in the background

[@OP-1000]

[@kaezzies]

I remember my Japanese friends talking about this theme park and showing me pictures of it. It’s so fun to see more through this video, only wish they would put more elements like a Dutch restaurant with stampot and erwtensoep but maybe they left that out to make the visitor curious to visit the Netherlands. Would love to see it in person one day!

[@noah-sg4yx]

And broodje kaas

[@poucxs9246]

Dutch food would chase all visitors away :-P

[@RichardRenes]

Very accurate representation of what Dutch architecture generally looks like. I could easily recognize quite a lot of them. I have seen scenes from Amsterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht, Gouda, Volendam, Hoorn. Sneek and Enkhuizen, to name a few... and the umbrella covered street reminds me of Deventer. And rhen the T-rex and the Triceratops spoil it all lol (both are very north-American). The Mosasaur however, is spot on. It was found first in the Netherlands, in a limestone quarry near Maastricht. What is missing then? Bicycles... it needs more bicycles .... and places selling Dutch food.... for a nation of fishermen, having no herring is a no-no lol.

[@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood]

So true and agree completely with you on Dutch food and bicycles!

[@JasperJanssen]

The boat seems very oldfashioned - so oldfashioned that it makes me think they either bought an old one that was going for scrap or recreated something from old drawings. The modern rondvaartboten all have panoramic windows on the roof. And yes, no broodje kroket met een patatje oorlog is criminal. (Red Lobster is also hard to impossible to find in NL)

[@thaDjMauz]

And if they want to go for accuracy, some trash on the streets. I think I would feel so strange to be in a slightly off consensed mini NL thats just super clean

There's something really uncanny about it with how realistic it is and then simultaneously super empty, with so few people. Like a bit haunted. You couldn't find a Dutch city this quiet in the middle of the day.

[@JOSWAY787]

And the mountains in the back, some trees also look out of place it’s like some other dimension version of the Netherlands

[@guenthersteiner9252]

As a Ducth person: I have seem some Ducth themed parks or areas in parks, but they all were very unrealistic and hollywood ish. This park represents the Netherlands in such a realistic way. Not only the argitecture but also the composition of the placement of buildings, the water and even the streets are very well done. Watching this video give me the feeling you really walked in a Dutch town. The feeling you are in the Netherlands and when you turn 180 degrees you are in Japan again. This feels very surreal.

[@saal0]

Yup. Went to orange city in the US and everything was plastered and propped up because they don’t really use bricks there.

[@SilverAim]

growing up as a military child my family was stationed in sasebo for half of my childhood. our military base we lived on was right next to the park, and we loved going there all the time. we moved to yokosuka in 2018, and then to the U.S.A in 2022, so it’s been forever since we went. hopefully someday i can relive some memories there in the future

[@retroll66]

Holy moly the level of detail is spot on. If I were a dutch expat, living in Japan, I would definitly go here every now and then to feel like I am back home again. It is crazy realistic.

[@Scriptor13]

Huis Ten Bosch is amazing. The detailed recreation of Dutch architecture is enough reason to go for me. Then, throw in tulips or seasonal plantings/decorations, a beautiful natural setting, fun events, interesting/interactive exhibits, and some tasty food, and I'm there for sure. 😆 I do have a question you may be able to answer, guys. Why such a huge a theme park based on the Netherlands? Do the Japanese generally have some affinity for all things Dutch? I tried to Google it but got no answer. Thanks for taking us to Huis Ten Bosch again, Shinichi. I bet the people who live there love it! Hugs to you and Satoshi. ❤❤

[@BuzzinsPetRock78]

Yes, the Dutch and the Japanese have a long history. We were one of the first/only countries to do trade with the country during their self imposed isolation. That, and we are one of the limited amount of royal houses remaining, which I am sure forms some bond with the Imperial Family :) (That's just a guess though)

[@Scriptor13]

@@BuzzinsPetRock78 A _very_ good guess, I'd say. I'd forgotten about the trade relationship. And, the common ground of monarchy makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the thoughtful answer.

[@maxschaffels2164]

In case you want to check out some more info about it, I suggest googling for the word 'Rangaku'. It's the term the Japanese have used to describe learning about the West generally, specifically through the exchange of visual and material European culture with the Dutch during the Edo period. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangaku I study the subject regularly and it is honestly an extraordinary history that still has a large impact on both Japanese and Dutch (and European) society today.

[@martijn6613]

Also specifically in Nagasaki, the Dutch were allowed to trade and interact with Japan on a designated island. This island is called Deshima and I believe the old neighbourhood that was built for the Dutch traders/delegations is still in tact en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dejima. So maybe it's also got something to do with that, but I don't know

[@KGI_KlikoNL]

@@BuzzinsPetRock78 Enough countries traded with Japan. We were the first/only who were allowed to have a trader living on Japanese soil. This is because that Dutch trader took the curtency to learn Japanese.

I heard of this park before. For me, as a Dutchman, this video is so surreal. The buildings are really spot on, you could fool me with carefully recorded footage and tell me it's from the Netherlands; I'd believe you. Of course most signs are in English and that's where I would notice something is off... oh and the fact that the streets are so damn clean. Of course the mountains give away as well that this is not the Netherlands. I like the idea of this park quite a lot. It would be fun, specifically for Dutch people of course, to visit this park whilst on holiday in Japan.

For context: Dutch merchants were some of the first Europeans that the Japanese ever encountered, and Western science in the Edo period was called "Dutch Studies". The man-made island of Dejima in Nagasaki was the only place Dutch traders were allowed to live and trade in Japan. So this isn't random. There's a historical connection there.

Seen videos of the park before, but never got such a good view of it. It’s insane. It would fool me and I live here!

[@Egotripperssr]

Even the weather is spot on lol

[@Surya-jv1js]

Wow beautiful video places stunning love it❤🙏🏼

[@bobguy3939]

Thats amazing!!

[@hallmountfilms]

Wow, i can't believe they even have a replica of the old city hall of Gouda @15:03 Having lived there for several years i instantly recognized it. Amazing. They even put it on a little town square that resembles Gouda. The level of detail is astonishing. I think only the Dutch will see the difference, as the brickwork isn't always as artisan as on the actual architecture, but still you could have fooled most of us! Ps. I took another look at the video and realized what the real difference is between the park and actual Dutch buildings. All historic Dutch architecture is very crooked and is leaning forward, sometimes almost falling over. All the buildings in the park are very straight and soundly constructed ;)

[@robertkunath264]

Loved the amount of detail in here. Would be funny if they add some typical old fashioned dutch games as an attraction, such as koekhappen or spijkerpoepen

[@SaiyaFlower]

I’m from the Netherlands and I absolutely love this!❤

[@THETRIVIALTHINGS]

I love that jingle playing in the background. I want a full soundtrack of that lol

[@NiekKuijpers]

This is incredible. japan did an amazing joba t recreating part of the Netherlands. The architecture is spot on!

[@rayvanwayenburg998]

As a kiwi-dutchman currently living in Japan, I approve of this park! Looks like so much fun.

[@DailyDiscountNL]

Wow, as a Dutch person I love how much detail this park has 👌 Well done 👍

[@Beldoras]

Thank you! Very interesting place!

[@muzikxpress]

Oh wow, as a Dutch person myself I'm very impressed with how authentic everything look! Hopefully I can visit some day!

If I hadn't seen the mountains, I would have sworn you just pulled an elaborate prank in the Netherlands with a class of foreign exchange students! The bricks, the paint, the pavers, the overall vibe, genuinely, it's a slice of the Netherlands, exclusively given away by the amount of Japanese you see/hear.

[@TheSource85]

Oh MY GOSH :| This is AWESOME! Like seriously, freakin' AWESOME!!!!! I have never even considered that the Netherlands could be featured in a theme park. And the look of this one is sooooo accurate, it's weird in a very enjoyable way. I now NEED to go here. And I want to see inside of the building :| See if they got that right as well :p It is SO weirdly accurate.. How?! WELL DONE JAPAN! Another great example of your quality and worth in the world!
