Glover House and Garden: A World Heritage Site
OVERVIEW
This garden has been designated as an Important Cultural Asset. Here you can visit the beautiful traditional homes built for British merchants, including the oldest wooden Western-style residence in Japan, built by the Scottish merchant Thomas Glover, who exerted a strong influence on the industrialization of Japan.
The Former Glover Residence was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site List in 2015 under 'Sites of Japan's Meiji Restoration: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining'.
The garden is lush with flowers, and has a stunning view of Nagasaki Port. The Christmas illuminations in winter time are also worth to visit.
