Huis Ten Bosch, the theme park resort in Nagasaki known for its "Longed-for Another World" brand concept, will host the winter-limited event "Winter Wonderland Grand Finale" from January 10 (Saturday) to February 26 (Thursday), 2026.
The "Winter Wonderland" event, symbolizing the world's top-class illumination, will finally reach its grand finale in winter 2026. This final presentation will deliver unprecedented performances and scale, providing breathtaking emotional experiences as the culmination of six years of achievements.
The 2026 "Winter Wonderland Grand Finale" will feature silver illuminations spreading across an even larger scale than last year, with pure white lights cascading over the entire Huis Ten Bosch resort. This beloved event, which has moved everyone with its beauty, will deliver its finest brilliance through unprecedented performances and scale in this final winter presentation.
The nightly "Fantastic Snow Night Show ~Winter Wonderland Lighting Ceremony~" serves as the centerpiece of the "Winter Wonderland Grand Finale" and stands as the most emotionally stirring night show. Live vocals and instrumental performances resonate throughout the solemn chapel setting amid falling snow, and the moment when the European streetscapes illuminate in pure white simultaneously creates such overwhelming emotion that guests spontaneously burst into applause. For the 2026 finale, new performances featuring the iconic 105-meter-tall Dom Tower sparkling with pure white flash lights will cascade silver illumination across the entire Huis Ten Bosch resort, creating a fantastical world on an unprecedented scale.
Last year, Huis Ten Bosch received the "Grand Prize" from the International Illumination Award 2024, established and hosted by the Japan Association for Night View Tourism Development, earning recognition as the world's number one illumination destination. The "Winter Wonderland" event has been particularly acclaimed as a symbolic seasonal attraction.
Beginning with the art garden "Aurora Garden of Lights," the comprehensive performance combining sound, light, and space has earned numerous positive guest reviews, including: "The European streetscape shining in pure white. Every building is stylish and looks like a foreign country. The magnificent Winter Wonderland lighting ceremony is stunning! (Woman in her 50s)" and "I want to visit the Winter Wonderland again. It's cold, but there's enjoyment that surpasses the cold at Huis Ten Bosch. (Man in his 60s)" These testimonials reflect the high satisfaction ratings from many customers.
The "Winter Wonderland" event, which has captivated numerous guests, will conclude with its ultimate and finest brilliance. However, building on the world-class illumination recognition, the resort will continue delivering excitement with future plans currently in development. Details about upcoming attractions will be announced once finalized, so please stay tuned.
