Nagoya, Aichi / ノリタケの森
Noritake Garden
In 1904 Noritake founded Nippon Gomei Kaisha on this site; it completed and exported Japan's first dinner set in 1914. Noritake Garden opened on the head factory grounds for the company's centenary, with a centre introducing Noritake's history and technology, a Craft Center where bone china is made, and a museum of Meiji vases and tableware from the Taisho and Showa periods. You can try porcelain painting on the 2nd floor of the Craft Center (no reservation needed).
