What other travelers are saying about Glover Garden
We went there at night for the illumination, during the day was also nice. I suggest that you go 1.5 to 2 hours before sunset so you can enjoy taking pictures around the area. There's a garden cafe you can enjoy some drinks in there. Nice view, too.
Ticketed place, Mansions of foreign business men settlement over seeing the sea port. Spectacular sea port view and manicured gardens. Rich history of steel & shipyard building, coal and tea trades origin. One to two hours visits coupled with shops lined up along the upslope street path. Honey cake and puddings are the local delights that is a must try. Overall pop by if you’re nearby.
Noted world heritage church is there as well.
Came to this museum when it is dark not sure if it is the best time but there were illuminations that were probably not available in the morning. So maybe visit before sunset and into after sunset will be a good time.
Ticket can be purchased with credit card or paypay even though it is not stated at the counter.
This place showcases the western structures and western figures that contributed greatly to Japan historically. Besides that there are beautiful scenery and illumination at night.

Before visiting, I only knew it is the oldest wooden architecture in Japan, but after visiting it is more than just for the eyes. It houses a lot of historical information relating to Nagasaki, or even Japan with its introduction to all the foreigners ever lived there, who have a deep relations to ship manufacturing and mining industry which are the most influential industries in the 18th century.
Ok so this is actually amazing to go to for any person who's hard of moving. Nearly the entire place is handicap accessible and there's a moving walkway for the hardest part, which is going up hill.
The gardens themselves look beautiful and the whole area is so well kept. There's a good bit of rest areas along the way for you to take a break and it's for those seeking an old time European aesthetic.
If you can speak Japanese, there are guided tours at 11:00, 13:00, and 15:00. I'd definitely recommend a stop. They take pictures for you here. You get a postcard sized one for free. Keep the voucher they give you when you buy your tickets.
