We happened upon the Noritake site on our way to another tourist site and thought it might be worth a look. We are so glad we did. We visited the Craft Centre first with our teen/preteen daughters and we all found the displays very interesting as they took us through the whole process of creating fine objects. There were Japanese and English written explanations of everything and multi-lingual video presentations as well. We were also able to watch craftspeople carrying out the various stages. We really had an appreciation for the skill and time that goes into creating Noritake bone by the end of the display. For an additional cost, you are also able to paint your own piece (several options including plate, mug, figurines). The plate display which showed designs of plates in chronological order was particularly impressive. There is also a large shop, cafe and restaurant on the site, housed in renovated brick industrial buildings, and large garden areas which are a relaxing spot to sit. Well worth a visit. #givethanks #givethanks

Noritake Garden

A spacious place with a pleasant atmosphere. There are enough seats, and during the season when leaves change color, the photos come out beautifully. There are various activities to choose from. Adjacent to Aeon mall, it's convenient for relaxation, enjoying a variety of foods, and shopping. It's about a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station. Since the mall is connected to the garden, there are many shops, and there are duty-free options as well.

Noritake Garden

#thingstodo We visited late October. While I applaud the Noritake family to make the garden free for the public to enjoy, I found this the most plain and uninteresting garden I’ve seen so far. Probably because it’s in Japan but has nothing Japanese about it (except for the Nitto Shrine). Unless you want to see the red brick buildings and read about their history or visit the museum or shop, I would recommend to skip this one and visit a different garden. I wish we had.

If you have chance to travel in Nagoya, don’t miss #noritake garden and museum where you can enjoy walking at Noritake Rose garden and discover antique China bone porcelain. Also, spending teatime at Noritake cafe. #Nagoya #Japan

Went to this garden/museum thinking that I would actually see botanical exhibits. Though it also literally has a garden, it focuses more on their collections of porcelains and other attractions. Nonetheless, I loved the place, the collections of teapots and plates, and the plate painting activity. Great place for enthusiasts on these kinds of things. #wintergetaway

We participated in a ceramic experience at the Wushensen. I chose two villains who wore kimonos. Between the paintings, I made a ceramic plate and poured my own efforts. How about, the finished product is not bad, right? I really like this emotional handmade work! However, where the ceramic is fired, shooting is not allowed, and only the previous process can be taken. Because it took a day to burn, we handled ems back to China. It took about ten days to receive it. More than 1,000 yen of postage is very cost-effective. z
