Hi there!
I just got back from the best holiday ever, one month Japan ! As I like Bonsai very much, I visited a lot of gardens, but I only know the japanese names. Can someone help me with the english texts? I mean the literal translations: Thanks for any help! Oscar |

That's "transliteration": Writing something with one writing system in another. For example, if you ask for the "translation" of 東京 you'd get "east capital," but the transliteration is "Toukyou" or "Tōkyō."
Of the remaining ones, 養盛園—no idea 本津翠星園—no idea 出上吉洸園—Ideuekikkouen 神高松寿園—Kandakashoujuen 神高福松園—Kandakafujushouen ㈱山白八松園—Yamashirohasshouen 松田清松園—Matsudaseishouen 山下昭和園—Yamashitashouwaen 尾路旭松園—not sure, but I think Orokyokushouen Most of these you can google and get the pronunciation in about five seconds. |
