Japanese insight

Huge garden. Quick look: 60 mins / Full tour: 2 hours.

• World Heritage Site: Recognized as part of the "Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution."

• Thomas Glover: Known as the "Scottish Samurai," his contributions to Japan’s modernization were immense.

• Vietnamese Lantern Festivals: During special events, the garden is illuminated by Vietnamese lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere.

• Historical Ties: A tribute to the deep 17th-century trade relations between Japan and Vietnam (Hoi An). Check my Youtube on Nagasaki for this. Went to Hoi An to deep dive

Step back in time at Glover Garden, an enchanting open-air museum perched on a hill with breathtaking views over Nagasaki Harbor. You'll wander through beautifully preserved Western-style mansions, once home to the city's international merchants, all set within stunning landscaped gardens. The site is hilly, but don't worry, escalators are there to help you navigate the inclines, making the gorgeous scenery accessible to all. It's a serene spot where you can really feel the unique history of Nagasaki's international past.
