A Journey Through Glover Garden

Glover Garden is not just a museum; it’s a testament to the cultural exchange between the West and Japan during the Meiji era.

Established from 1868 to 1912, the garden was commissioned by Thomas Blake Glover, a Scottish merchant who played a pivotal role in Japan's modernization, particularly in shipbuilding and coal mining. This open-air museum houses nine Western-style homes, the most notable being Glover Mansion, the oldest of its kind in Japan. The site is also known for its well-manicured landscapes that overlook Nagasaki’s picturesque harbor.
