Glover Garden

Glover Garden

Glover Garden in Nagasaki is an open-air hillside museum of 19th-century colonial-style Western residences built by Scottish and other foreign merchants who settled in Nagasaki during Japan's Meiji-era opening to the West. The preserved garden, with views over Nagasaki harbor, includes the home of Thomas Blake Glover, a Scottish merchant who played a key role in Japan's early industrialization. The garden inspired Puccini's opera Madam Butterfly with its story of cross-cultural romance.
