Day 13: Fukuoka to Huis Ten Bosch
Huis Ten Bosch is a large themepark in Nagasaki prefecture with architectures that looks like Holland's buildings (windmills, canal boats...etc).

Since Miffy originates from Holland, so there's also an entire shop selling Miffy products in the themepark as well.

Since last year, there's been One Piece anime's theme restaurants, shops, and cruise (Thousand Sunny) in a sector at Huis Ten Bosch, however, I understand that it will be ending in March 2012 (if i'm not wrong, those keen on going, please check with Huis Ten Bosch BEFORE you go Japan).

I know there's many One Piece fans here awaiting One Piece pics, please also note that if you want to see the pics taken on Thousand Sunny cruise, it will be on my next day (Day 14)'s set of pics. Because we stayed overnight at Huis Ten Bosch's ANA hotel, so we decided to catch the 1st departure time for the following day so as to avoid the daytripper's crowd on the ship.

505) We took the Ltd Exp Huis Ten Bosch train from Hakata station to Huis Ten Bosch station (journey about 1 and half hrs).
