In Nagasaki, Japan, the Dutch-themed amusement park Huis Ten Bosch has opened a new area called 'Miffy Wonder Square' to celebrate Miffy's 70th birthday. Miffy, a globally loved rabbit character created by Dutch artist Dick Bruna in 1955, is extremely popular in Japan, especially among women. The park features Miffy-themed attractions, including colorful buildings, galleries, cafes, and exclusive merchandise. Visitors can enjoy charming dishes inspired by Miffy, such as curry resembling Miffy in a mud spa and omurice that looks like Miffy and her friend sleeping on clouds. Additionally, the nearby Hotel Amsterdam offers upgraded 'Miffy rooms' that are fully decorated with Miffy motifs. This event reflects Japan's cultural fascination with Miffy and the park's distinctive Dutch atmosphere, rooted in historical trade relations between the Netherlands and Japan.
