Stunning Japanese Gardens overlooking Tramore Bay

These Authentic Japanese Gardens overlook the beautiful seaside town of Tramore, County Waterford, Ireland. They reflect the life of writer Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo), who grew up in Ireland, and whose fascinating life journey eventually takes him to Japan.

Follow his story through eleven unique garden areas which feature many Japanese plants and Japanese architectural features including Ceremonial Tea House and Azumaya. Children are introduced to these magical gardens through a special children’s discovery trail, secret pathways, woodlands and Lafcadio Hearn’s fairytales and folklore.
