Last update :

This is the birthplace of Noritake, a western tableware brand highly acclaimed globally. The park is a lush green space to relax in, with stores, cafes, restaurants, and a museum.

The red-brick building, built in 1904, is the first factory of Nippon Toki Gomei Kaisha (now Noritake Co., Ltd.). It is a stately structure that symbolizes the beginning of the history of Western tableware manufacturing in Japan.

The “Noritake Museum,” located on the third and fourth floors of the Craft Center, displays many historically and culturally valuable pieces, including “Old Noritake.” At the Craft Center, visitors can observe the production of bone china dough and the painting process by craftsmen. A workshop where visitors can paint their original pieces on a white bone china plate or a mug.

The shop, which sells Noritake tableware, kitchen items, and other household goods, is also worth visiting.
