To future children
～ Challenge to Sustainable Development ～
Another name for Huis Ten Bosch, which means ``house in the forest,'' is ``the city born from the sea.''
This land where Huis Ten Bosch is now located was once so-called wasteland. Therefore, the first project before opening was aimed at regenerating the area, restoring its natural state, and achieving "sustainable development" for the future.
Considering harmony with the surrounding nature as our top priority, we planted 400,000 trees, changed the coast to an eco-friendly stone wall, and collected wastewater generated within the park to avoid polluting canals and the sea. We have created a cycle that purifies wastewater using our advanced sewage treatment equipment and returns it to nature.
Huis Ten Bosch is the only tourist city in the world that is developed and operated by a single private company.
We want to be a "city that has been ticking for a thousand years." To this end, we will practice "sustainable development" and preserve our wonderful culture and natural environment.
Through "sustainable development," we want to gift a wonderful culture and natural environment to our children 1,000 years from now.
That is our unchanging wish at Huis Huis Ten Bosch.

Sustainability at Huis Ten BoschCustomer feedback that is indispensable for corporate growth
Huis Ten Bosch's website, questionnaires, telephone calls, opinions, requests, and compliments sent directly to employees will be promptly notified to the relevant departments and will be dealt with on the same day as possible.
In addition, at the morning assembly, we are pursuing the operation of a theme park that will satisfy our customers by sharing and disseminating "customer feedback" to all employees, including specific improvement measures.

≪TOPICS≫
We received opinions from guests Huis Ten Bosch Garden, such as strollers and wheelchairs being difficult to push, rattling, and tripping, and part of the stone pavement was constructed on a brick sidewalk. While protecting the natural landscape, the wheelchair or stroller guests are now able to move the park smoothly also.
Some of the stone pavement in the rose garden has been changed to bricks, improving it so that it can be enjoyed by guests.
To a city where customers and staff can spend safely and securely
Based on the idea that "Huis Ten Bosch is one town," we also have departments that perform the functions of police and fire departments.
Our staff also regularly participate in training drills to ensure safety.
If you get injured or feel unwell while traveling, it can be very lonely and worrying. If you report an injury or feeling unwell, we will be there for guests, providing warm, swift and appropriate support.

In-house instructors for ordinary lifesaving training will be trained so that 200 people can take the training every month, and all 1,200 people including part-time staff will take the lifesaving training (completed by September 2021). We are training employees who can respond even in an emergency.
There are 23 life-saving "AEDs" in the park. AEDs are always installed within 100m.

About safety and securityWith local people
Huis Ten Bosch is backed by over 400 years of history of exchange between Japan and the Netherlands.
Nagasaki has long developed as the only gateway for overseas trade, and is a charming city with its own unique culture (Japanese, Chinese, and Dutch culture).
Neighboring Saga Prefecture is home to many famous ceramic production areas that were brought to Europe during the Edo period through Japan-Dutch trade. In order to allow you to enjoy the diverse charms of Nagasaki, Saga, and Kyushu to the fullest, Huis Huis Ten Bosch will work with the local community in various ways to convey the charms of Kyushu.
Kyushu is a treasure trove of food. We will be hosting the "Jigemon (local food) Fair" where you can taste local ingredients, and our on-site restaurant will be focusing on local ingredients, connecting guests with producers.

There is a Nagasaki Prefecture system "Nagasaki Concierge" so that customers can spend a comfortable stay, provide satisfactory services, and convey the value and charm unique to Nagasaki Prefecture. (At Huis Ten Bosch, seven concierge-certified staff are active in the hotel. As of June 2021) We are striving to contribute to the development of the tourism industry in Nagasaki Prefecture, such as by increasing the number of repeat customers.
