[A place enveloped in a foreign breeze] A quiet time travel experience at Glover Garden in Nagasaki

Glover Garden in Nagasaki is not just a tourist spot. The wind blowing there and the light shining in make you think "Maybe this isn't Japan?" It's a place that transcends time and borders. Looking down at the port town from the balcony of a Western-style building, it makes you feel romantic, thinking that people in the Meiji era must have seen this view. [Location] 8-1 Minamiyamate-cho, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture → Get off at the streetcar stop "Oura Cathedral", about a 5-minute walk *There are slopes, so sneakers are recommended! [Recommended time] - The light in the morning is soft and you can take beautiful photos - The "golden light" in the evening is also dramatic, so it is recommended [Admission fee] - 620 yen for adults - 310 yen for high school students and younger (as of 2025) [What to bring/clothes] - Comfortable shoes, hat, sunscreen - Camera or smartphone (you'll definitely want to take photos!) [Highlights & scenes you'll want to capture in photos] - A photo overlooking the harbor from the balcony (Photo 1) → The city of Nagasaki and the sea spread out through the shade of the trees. A moment when time seems to stop. - A scene where you look back in the corridor of a Western-style building (Photo 2) → A "Nagasaki-like composition" that makes you feel nostalgic - A white Western-style building standing quietly after the rain (Photo 3) → The impression changes drastically depending on the weather, which is one of the interesting things about Glover Garden - The combination of spring tulips and a Western-style building (Photo 4) → The color contrast between the flowers and the building is just beautiful! ・Cherry blossoms in front of the former Mitsubishi No. 2 Dock House (photo 5) → The white buildings seen through the cherry blossoms are a spring treat ⸻ Glover Garden feels like a foreign country, and somehow nostalgic. Rather than going on a trip, it's a place that makes you feel like you've "went back in time." It's a classic tourist spot in Nagasaki, but I recommend you go there once and see for yourself. #domestictravel #solotravel #nagasakitrip
