A Must-See! 『Fantastic Snow Night Show – Silvery-White World Lighting Ceremony』

Located at the heart of Amsterdam City in Huis Ten Bosch, the "Stad House" is the stage for the breathtaking 『Fantastic Snow Night Show – Silvery-White World Lighting Ceremony』, an absolute must-see!

As the sun sets and the chapel bells begin to chime, an internationally renowned vocalist takes the stage!

The crisp evening air and the enchanting voice create a sacred atmosphere, drawing you deeper into the mesmerizing world.

As the song builds up to its climax, the entire town suddenly illuminates in dazzling white—an awe-inspiring moment that gives you goosebumps! The sheer power of the live vocals and the breathtaking sight make it so overwhelming that tears may unexpectedly well up in your eyes!!

As if that weren’t enough, snowflakes gently fall from the night sky, and a spectacular fireworks finale lights up the heavens.

You can’t help but whisper, “Wow…” in amazement. The entire experience feels purifying, leaving you in awe even after the show ends as you take in the beauty of the silvery-white townscape.

Out of all the illuminations I’ve ever seen, this was by far the most moving! You absolutely must experience it in person!

Main Spot Turns into a Silvery-White Wonderland: 『Aurora Garden of Light』

Huis Ten Bosch’s iconic illumination spot, 『Aurora Garden of Light』, which is usually filled with vibrant colors, transforms into a romantic, snow-covered wonderland during the Silvery-White World season. ♡

The breathtaking silvery-white scenery is stunning from afar, but walking through it makes you feel like the main character in a fairy tale, immersing you in a dreamy, otherworldly experience. ♪

The shimmering carpet of lights and the cascading waterfall projections continuously shift, creating an ever-changing landscape that you could gaze at forever. ♡

This glowing space is also a perfect photo spot! The cool white and blue tones make every shot effortlessly stunning—even without filters! (laughs)

Japan’s Largest Musical Fountain Show: 『Water Magic』

Right in front of this area, you can witness Japan’s largest musical fountain show, 『Water Magic』!

With fountains spanning 75 meters in width and reaching heights of up to 20 meters, this is an awe-inspiring entertainment spectacle. ♡

The synchronized water and music create a stunning and dynamic show, but what makes it even more special is the sense of excitement and wonder it brings!

Enjoying it with a warm drink in hand makes the experience even cozier. ♡

After the Water Magic show ends, the reflection of Domtoren on the water’s surface is simply breathtaking. ♡

『Projection Mapping』

Another must-see is the seasonal projection mapping show, 『3D Projection Mapping – Winter Version』, held at Stad House!

A magical key unlocks the seasonal doors, revealing a mesmerizing 3D projection mapping display with cutting-edge visuals!

By the time it ended, I was completely enchanted by the magic of the Silvery-White World. ♪

A Dreamy View from the Ferris Wheel

For a magical perspective, hop on the beautifully illuminated white Ferris wheel at night! The ride lasts about 11 minutes, making it a perfect way to soak in the view. ♪
