Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens

Situated in the picturesque coastal village of Tramore, County Waterford, Ireland, are these authentic Japanese gardens. These magnificent gardens are a reflection of the life and many travels of Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo), an Irishman whose life journey took him to many different places across the globe. The gardens honor the notoriety he garnered in Japan as a result of his unparalleled literary depictions of the people, traditions, and culture of that nation.
