Noritake is a ceramics maker globally known for its “Noritake China.” Noritake Garden is a ceramics facility located on the grounds of Noritake headquarters, the very birthplace of modern pottery. It is a vast area of around 22,000 square meters in the center of Nagoya City, and is divided into three zones with different concepts: the Culture Zone, where you can discover culture; the Commercial Zone, a place to enjoy daily living; and the Historical Zone, a place to experience history. The facility is surrounded by rich greenery that offers a relaxing environment and different views in each season.

At the Craft Center, you can see the techniques and traditions of Noritake up close, from creating the materials to painting the ceramics. In addition, at the Noritake Museum, you can tour displays of European tableware and other items made from the Taisho era to the early Showa era, such as an extravagant Meiji-era flower vase and decorative plates.

You can also paint plates and mugs. Why not paint your own Noritake product to take home as a memento of your visit!
