Nagasaki (長崎市, Nagasaki-shi, Japanese: [naɡaꜜsaki]) ( listen (help·info)) is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan. The city's name, 長崎, means "Long Cape" in Japanese. Nagasaki became a centre of colonial Portuguese and Dutch influence in the 16th through 19th centuries, and Churches and Christian Sites in Nagasaki have been proposed for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.

Japan does not have great playgrounds for children - at least in central touristy areas. This was great for 1 to 5 year olds. Swings, climbing and a couple of good slides, plenty of grass, shady trees and toilets. My kids loved the slide made of rollers which you don’t get in Australia and monkey bars set at the right height for 3 to 5 year olds to get on and off by themselves which we also don’t do in Australia.

This open air museum consists of nine Western-style homes built between 1868 and 1912 for Western merchants living in Japan. Glover Mansion, the most famous of these, is Japan's oldest Western-style house.
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.
