Discover Stunning Nagasaki: Self-Guided Audio Tour

Glover Garden is named for Thomas Glover, a Scottish entrepreneur who came to Japan at 21 and never left. As an entrepreneur he immersed himself in all areas of Japanese business, even opening up a mining island called Gunkanjima or Battleship island. He was eventually awarded the Second Class Order of the Rising Sun.

At the bottom of Glover Garden, this Catholic church built by French Jesuits is thought to be the oldest in Japan.

Dejima was perhaps one of the most significant places in Japan during Sakoku, the period of National Isolation. The artificial Island was built in 1634 by local merchants for the purpose of allowing foreign traders to conduct their trades whilst maintaining National Isolation.

Showcasing almost 50,000 items relating to the culture and heritage of Nagasaki this museum is one of the most extensive and informative in Japan.

Although this Temple is a Chinese temple, it is considered one of the most well maintained, full examples of architecture from the Ming Dynasty, including Chinese temples in China itself.

Nagasaki Peace Park is built to the north of the hypocenter of the atomic bomb blast and was designed to represent a plea for world peace and the hope that there will never be another war.
