JR Kyushu will start selling its winter Huis Ten Bosch combo ticket on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, according to the railway’s October 1 notice. The Winter Toku Enjoy Huis Ten Bosch Ticket bundles a round-trip JR fare with a one-day park passport voucher. Travel is valid from Friday, November 6, 2026, through Thursday, January 14, 2027, and Fukuoka City adults pay 12,000 yen, which is 5,100 yen below the unbundled limited-express plus gate price.
That date pair is the booking decision: buy from October 6 if you want a winter park day from Hakata or Nagasaki without paying the year-round Enjoy fare. Deep Arrival’s Huis Ten Bosch planning guide is the park-hours and ticket page to open next. Independent coverage on Dellows News also records the winter ticket as the product aimed at fireworks and countdown visitors.
- Sale starts: Tuesday, October 6, 2026, through Monday, January 11, 2027, for start dates through January 11.
- Travel window: Friday, November 6, 2026, to Thursday, January 14, 2027.
- Fukuoka adult price: 12,000 yen for reserved limited-express seats, valid four days, 5,100 yen below the unbundled 17,100 yen stack.
- Nagasaki adult price: 9,120 yen on local and rapid trains, valid two days, 1,940 yen below 11,060 yen unbundled.
- Park closed: Tuesday, January 12, through Friday, January 15, 2027. A January 11 start date can redeem the passport only on January 11.
October 6 Sale and the November 6 Travel Window
JR Kyushu’s notice sets two clocks. Sale begins October 6 and runs through January 11, 2027, a Monday holiday, and only for travel start dates through that January 11 date. The park visit must fall between November 6, 2026, and January 14, 2027. You can buy through the morning of your start date if machines still have stock.
The year-round Enjoy Huis Ten Bosch Ticket, 12,900 yen from Fukuoka City and 10,020 yen from Nagasaki for adults, will not be sold for start dates from November 6, 2026, through January 11, 2027. After those start dates, the year-round ticket returns as the default bundle.
The winter ticket is valid on two peak nights in the notice: the Kyushu Grand Fireworks Festival on Saturday, November 14, 2026, and countdown night on Thursday, December 31, 2026. Those dates still require a same-day passport redemption and do not extend rail validity.
Fukuoka and Nagasaki Prices Against Unbundled Fares
From Fukuoka City stations, adults pay 12,000 yen, junior-high and high-school students pay 11,100 yen, and elementary students pay 7,020 yen. Those tickets include reserved limited-express seats and stay valid for four consecutive days. JR Kyushu compares that with an undiscounted reserved-seat round trip plus a gate 1DAY passport: 17,100 yen, 16,100 yen, and 9,740 yen, for savings of 5,100 yen, 5,000 yen, and 2,720 yen.
From Nagasaki, adults pay 9,120 yen, junior-high and high-school students pay 8,320 yen, and elementary students pay 5,560 yen on ordinary and rapid trains, valid two days. The unbundled comparison is 11,060 yen, 10,060 yen, and 6,720 yen. This SKU does not add a limited-express reserved seat on the Nagasaki route.
The Fukuoka routing runs via the Kagoshima Main Line, Tosu, the Nagasaki Main Line, Kohoku, the Sasebo Line, Haiki, and the Omura Line. Nagasaki uses the Nagasaki Main Line and the Omura Line. A broken through journey can void the remaining rail portion. A JR Kyushu three-day pass is a separate product, not a substitute for the park voucher.
Buying Online Versus Station Machines
JR Kyushu sells the winter ticket on its internet train reservation site and on reserved-seat machines at Hakata, Kashii, Chihaya, Yoshizuka, Sasabaru, Minami-Fukuoka, and Nagasaki. Midori no Madoguchi windows do not sell it.
Internet buyers must collect the paper ticket at a Midori no Madoguchi window or at a reserved-seat machine that is not inside the ticket gates. Fukuoka City tickets then need a second step: after collection, reserve the limited-express seat at that same window or outside-gate machine. The internet site cannot assign the reserved seat for this product.
Build collection time into a Hakata arrival. Extra Huis Ten Bosch limited-express trains run on some dates, and JR Kyushu tells buyers to check its site for those workings rather than assuming every Saturday has an extra round trip.
Passport Redemption, Fireworks, and January Closures
The 1DAY passport voucher is valid once inside the rail ticket’s validity period. Exchange it at a Huis Ten Bosch window. Confirm park hours before you travel. The notice names November 14 fireworks and December 31 countdown as eligible redemption days.
Huis Ten Bosch is closed Tuesday, January 12, through Friday, January 15, 2027. If your ticket starts on Monday, January 11, the passport can be redeemed only that Monday. Do not buy a January 12 to 15 start date expecting the park to be open.
A Nagasaki stop can pair the park with a wider city day. Deep Arrival’s Nagasaki cruise-stop guide is the place page for that pairing when the two-day ticket leaves a spare morning or evening.
Mug Coupon Rules and the Year-Round Ticket Pause
Travelers who collect the winter ticket by Friday, December 25, 2026, receive a 200 yen discount coupon for a Christmas Advent original mug. The coupon prints with the ticket. It is valid from November 6 through December 25, 2026, at Huis Ten Bosch Christmas Market stalls and at the Christmas Advent sites in Hakata and Tenjin.
One coupon discounts one mug. JR Kyushu will not reissue a lost coupon, convert it to cash, or refund an unused coupon. Stock can run out. Mug sale details are due on the Huis Ten Bosch website from Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
That coupon is a side benefit. The core saving remains the 5,100 yen Fukuoka adult gap against buying the limited express and the gate passport separately, and the 900 yen gap against the 12,900 yen year-round Enjoy fare.
| If you… | What to do |
|---|---|
| Leave from a Fukuoka City station between November 6 and January 11 | Buy the winter ticket from October 6 for 12,000 yen adult, then reserve seats after you collect the paper ticket. |
| Leave from Nagasaki on local or rapid trains | Buy the 9,120 yen adult winter ticket; do not expect a limited-express reserved seat on this SKU. |
| Need a park day on January 12 to 15, 2027 | Skip the ticket. The park is closed those four days. |
| Want the year-round Enjoy ticket for a November or December start | You cannot. JR Kyushu suspends that SKU for start dates November 6, 2026, to January 11, 2027. |
October 6, 2026, is the first sale date. Internet reservation and the seven named station machines are the only official purchase paths. Staffed Midori windows will not sell the winter SKU.
November 6, 2026, is the first travel date. Build the park day inside November 6, 2026, to January 14, 2027, and redeem the passport at the park window on an open operating day.
January 11, 2027, is the last start date you can buy. A January 11 start can use the passport only that day, and January 12 to 15 are park holidays.
