For those of you who don't know, Glover Garden is an open air museum in Nagasaki that exhibits mansions of several of the city's former foreign residents and related buildings. It is located on the hill where Western merchants settled down after the end of Japan's era of seclusion in the second half of the 19th century. As mentioned, it is on a hill. It might be very exhausting to see the whole garden, especially on a hot day. However, the view on the city from the hill is just amazing.

Charming shrine with great view of the city. There is also a nice road of shrine gates similar to that in Kyoto. Perfect place for Instagram photos and those who want to sight see on a budget!

The magnificent Nagasaki Peace Statue is one of many dramatic statues and sculptures at this park reminding visitors of the nuclear catastrophe and the need for world peace.

Peaceful park containing memorial sculptures from various countries scattered around the park - explanations in English for each one. Well maintained, escalators up to it, a must see whilst in Nagasaki. Easy to walk to the museum/memorial hall from here, recommend gerting off the tram at the Peace Park stop, as the rest is downhill from here. Also at the far right end of the biggest main statue, if you pop outside of the park you can get a great photo of the Cathedral - signposted. Free entry.
