What kind of country is the Netherlands?

Located along the North Sea in Western Europe, with a quarter of its land below sea level, the Netherlands is known as a tolerant and open-minded country.
During Japan's period of national isolation in the Edo era, the Netherlands traded with Japan and contributed to its modernization. Even today, various influences from the Netherlands remain.

In the Netherlands, you can find landscapes that look just like the theme park in Nagasaki. The large wooden windmills of Kinderdijk-Elshout, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, were built as part of a drainage system to combat frequent flooding and are still in operation today. The 19th-century steam-powered pumping station, Ir.D.F. Woudagemaal (D.F. Wouda Steam Pumping Station), is also recognized as a World Heritage Site and tells the story of how it impacted people's lives at the time.
Another characteristic of the Netherlands is its many beautiful canals, and Amsterdam’s Canal Ring District is also designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Furthermore, the North Sea tidal flats stretching from the Netherlands through Germany to Denmark are a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, where you can witness the beauty of unspoiled nature.

The Netherlands is also known as a country of dairy farming and agriculture, offering a wide variety of delicious cuisine.

Things to see in Holland.

  • Amsterdam

    Classic

    area

    The constitutional capital of the Netherlands. As the name of the town, meaning "dam on the Amstel River," suggests, it originated from a town by the Amstel River created in the 13th century and developed into one of Europe's leading port towns in the 16th century, becoming a center of commerce and tourism to this day. It is also known as an eco-friendly city with many bicycles. Located on land that was once the sea, it has many canals. The fan-shaped canal ring area is a World Heritage site. Furthermore, the Defense Line of Amsterdam, which connects fortresses along the outer edge of the city, is also a World Heritage site.

  • The Windmills of Kinderdijk-Elshout

    Classic

    spot

    The 19 windmills in Kinderdijk played a crucial role in the drainage system created to protect the town from the floods that the Netherlands had long faced. They also served as a power source for the development of agriculture and manufacturing. These windmills are still in operation today. The windmills, which have served various roles, such as indicating celebrations by the direction of their blades, are now recognized as a World Heritage site and are also active as a tourist resource. Internal tours are available from April to October.

  • The Hague

    Classic

    area

    A city on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands. It is said to be the de facto capital, housing the Royal Palace, central government ministries, and embassies. Known as an international city second only to New York, trams run through this city with its European-style cobblestone streets. It is a sophisticated city with a forward-thinking atmosphere. This city also houses the Royal Palace with the same name as the Japanese theme park "Huis Ten Bosch," which is modeled after Dutch cityscapes.

Discover the real Netherlands. (Experience Report)

Things you might be curious about when traveling to the Netherlands.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
The euro is used in the Netherlands.
You can exchange money at currency exchange offices, banks, and hotels. Cashless payments using credit cards or mobile devices are widely accepted, so you don’t need to carry much cash.
For public transportation and shopping, you can get by with little or no cash. It’s enough to carry a small amount for visits to markets or when traveling to rural areas.
Tips
Tipping is generally not required in the Netherlands. However, if you receive good service, it is appreciated to leave a small tip. Restaurants and cafes usually include a service charge, so tipping is not necessary. In cases of exceptional service, it is common to leave around 10%.
For taxis, it is customary to tip about 10%.
For hotel porter services, it is common to give a tip of about 1 to 5 euros.
It is also customary to tip guides about 1 to 5 euros.
Public order
While public safety is not particularly poor, there have been incidents of theft and robbery targeting Japanese people. In urban areas, tourist spots, and on trams, there is a perception that Japanese travelers tend to carry their valuables together, which may make them repeated targets for theft.
Please be cautious when going out.
clothing
The Netherlands has distinct seasons, but the climate is generally comfortable, with few days of extreme heat or cold.
The annual average temperature is around 10°C, so it is often a bit cooler than Japan. The weather can vary depending on the area you visit, so be sure to check the forecast before your trip.
Things you should bring
Multi-plug adapter, regular medication, mobile battery, overseas travel insurance
Visa availability and arrangements
