Nagasaki Prefecture is rich in renowned and secluded hot springs. Hot
springs can be found at 30 locations, including ones located in small islands
situated off the coast. In the Mount Unzen-Fugen area which became world famous
after an eruption in 1991, tourists can enjoy the natural beauty and relax at
one of the hot spring resorts found there.As Japanese people have been adopting
western lifestyles, the sense of relaxation for Japanese people has been changing
too. Sightseeing resorts have been gradually adapting their services to changing
lifestyles.
Following such changing trends, increasing numbers of tourist resorts and amusement
facilities have been opened in Nagasaki Prefecture. Among these resorts is a theme
park known as "Huis Ten Bosch" where the streets of the Netherlands
have been recreated and accommodation provided for tourists. The theme park is
popular among many Japanese visitors as well as Chinese and Korean tourists.
