Glover Garden is a picturesque open-air museum located in Nagasaki, Japan, showcasing the historical Western-style residences of the late 19th century. Nestled on the hillside, it offers stunning views of Nagasaki Harbor and the surrounding landscape. The garden is named after Thomas Glover, a Scottish merchant who played a significant role in Japan's modernization during the Meiji era. Visitors can stroll through beautifully landscaped gardens filled with seasonal flowers, providing a serene escape from the bustling city. The architecture of the buildings reflects a blend of Western and Japanese styles, making it a unique cultural experience. Each house has been meticulously preserved, allowing guests to step back in time and appreciate the lifestyle of foreign residents during Japan's opening to the West. The garden is also home to various sculptures and historical artifacts that tell the story of Nagasaki's rich maritime history. As you wander through the paths, you can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and the sound of birds chirping, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. Glover Garden is not just a historical site; it is a testament to the cultural exchange that shaped modern Japan.
It was a smooth and seamless experience. The staff at the airport counter were very helpful. Also I booked the card directly from the website and got a very good discount. Overall, very satisfied.
The experience is nothing short of magical. An absolute must-do if you’re a Potterhead, and just as enjoyable even if you’re not. The $10 retail voucher when you purchase via Pelago is an added bonus, so that you can enjoy a refreshing glass of Butterbeer at the end of all that walking.
The team were very supportive and very prompt in attending to our needs and concerns and always put us at the forefront of making sure we felt comfortable and safe to proceed. We are very happy with our tour guide's and would recommend it in the future to anyone
