Perched on a hillside overlooking Nagasaki harbor, Glover Garden is a beautifully preserved open-air museum showcasing Western-style colonial architecture from the 1860s. The centerpiece is the Former Glover House, Japan's oldest surviving wooden Western building, home to Scottish merchant Thomas Blake Glover who played a pivotal role in Japan's modernization. Visitors can explore multiple historic residences with period furniture, stroll through scenic gardens, and enjoy stunning panoramic views of Nagasaki.
💡 Escalators are available throughout the hillside park to assist with the slopes, making it wheelchair accessible. Many signs include English explanations, and the site is easy to reach by bus or car with paid parking available. Bring cash for entry and purchases as card payments may not work reliably; plan 2-3 hours for a leisurely visit.
