More information on Japanese Gardens

The brilliantly-designed Japanese Gardens lie close to the Irish National Stud in the countryside west of the city. Located in Kildare Town and only twenty miles from Dublin, they are certainly worth the detour or a stop on your way to destinations further afield. The gardens were created in 1906-10 by a Japanese landscape gardener. The path through them is arranged thematically and leads one on a symbolic journey from birth' to death. Features include a Zen rock garden and a variety of exotic plants, trees and sacred bamboos. Check website for open hours.
