Introduction to Glover Garden
Located on the hill of Minami-Yamate overlooking the grand panorama of Nagasaki Harbor, it stands as one of Nagasaki’s most popular tourist spots, brimming with an exotic atmosphere.
The area prominently features nationally designated important cultural properties such as the former Glover Residence, the former Ringer Residence, and the former Alt Residence, alongside six other Western-style buildings from the Meiji period that were relocated and restored from various parts of the city.

The cobblestone paths and stone steps that evoke the ambiance of the settlement era further enhance the historical and cultural aroma of the place.
The park is adorned with flowers in every corner, creating picturesque scenes wherever you look.

A must-find during your visit is the Heart Stone, located within the cobblestones.
It is said to be a power spot associated with legends of love fulfillment, such as “Your love will come true if you touch this stone and make a wish.”
The charm of visiting between mid-July and early October is the different, more romantic atmosphere as the Western houses are illuminated, contrasting with their daytime appearance.
