Huis Ten Bosch — Dutch for 'House in the Forest' — is a 152-hectare theme park in Sasebo built as a replica of a Dutch town, complete with working windmills, 500,000 tulips in April, and the Kingdom of Lights illumination from October to May that holds the Guinness record for the world's largest LED display at 13 million bulbs.
