Glover Gardens

Glover Gardens was a very interesting piece of Nagasaki history. It's the wealthy grounds, buildings and homes that were owned by the Glover family, who were a family from Scotland who settled in Nagasaki and had substantial influence and developments in the port and fishing industries, landing them into substantial wealth and prosperity. There was a military boarding house, the family home, and even a school on the grounds. And escalators to get up the hill (I don't think that's traditional but it is certainly convenient hahaha).

We saw a group of girls in Regency gear (or some sort of historical get up) that looked awesome. They were fluttering about taking pictures, perfectly dressed for the environment they were in. It was lovely to see their costumes and the girls having loads of fun.

The views from the balcony of the military boarding house were pretty fabulous as well!Lue lisää
