Abstract
Huis Ten Bosch, meaning “House in the Forest” in Dutch, is one of the biggest theme parks in Kyushu Island, Japan. It is a famous private recreational theme park opened on March 1992 at an approximate cost of ¥300 billion, created by transforming 152 ha of industrial wasteland through various environmentally affable mechanisms (HTB 2002). The concept of Huis Ten Bosch is “coexistence between ecology and economy” and opened in accordance with a law to promote the construction of resorts with the support of the central and prefectural governments (see Fig. 7.1 for the location of the HTB).
