This initiative allows visitors to feel the gentle and warm charm unique to Huis Ten Bosch, where Miffy resides, even outside the park.
The wrapping buses will feature two types of Miffy designs: one with an original Miffy, found only at Huis Ten Bosch in Japan, adorned with a red scarf, yellow wooden shoes, and holding a Dutch flag; and another with Miffy designs inspired by the attractions within "Miffy Wonder Square," such as "Uncle Pilot's Flight Adventure," "Miffy's Dream Storybook," and "Everyday Celebration Kitchen."

The shared desire of Huis Ten Bosch and Nagasaki Bus to "make trips to Nagasaki more enjoyable and brighter" led to the wrapping of the "Nagasaki Sightseeing Route Bus" with the "Huis Ten Bosch Miffy design," loved worldwide. We are confident that the collaboration between Huis Ten Bosch, a leading stay-type tourist resort in the northern part of the prefecture, and our company in the southern part, to promote tourist circulation, will greatly contribute to expanding tourism consumption throughout the prefecture.
