Stroll through the red-brick tableware museum and enjoy plate-painting experience & shop for dishware
About this spot
A verdant complex facility born from the former factory grounds of Noritake, world-renowned for fine Western tableware. The site's red-brick buildings and smokestacks are picturesque just to walk through. At the Craft Center, you can watch craftspeople's intricate hand-painting techniques up close. The plate-painting experience, enjoyable for children, makes a perfect souvenir as your fired piece will be delivered to you later. The shop features outlet dishware as well, offering adults shopping fun too. The grassy gardens are perfect for a rest break, with a relaxed afternoon atmosphere.
Tips
It's within walking distance from Nagoya Station and easily accessible from the Aonami Line. The gardens and shop are free to enjoy; the Craft Center and Museum require paid admission. Plate-painting experiences have set reception times, so check upon arrival if you wish to participate. The flat grounds are easy to navigate with strollers.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1.5 hours. The afternoon light hitting the brick walls makes for beautiful photographs.
