Noritake no Mori Review ✔️ Atmosphere & Features Noritake no Mori is a complex cultural space operated by the famous Japanese porcelain brand ‘Noritake’. Originally a porcelain factory, the space where industrial heritage and nature are in harmony was impressive. The red brick buildings and green trees create an old-fashioned atmosphere. ✔️ Things to see • Noritake Museum: It exhibits the production process of Noritake porcelain and historical works. Recommended for those interested in traditional Japanese porcelain. • Painting Experience: There is an experience where you can paint on porcelain yourself, making it a great place to make a special souvenir. • Noritake Outlet: There is a space where you can purchase high-quality porcelain at relatively low prices. There were many plates and teacups that would make good gifts. ✔️ Overall Review ✅ Recommended for: People who like a quiet atmosphere, people who are interested in pottery ✅ Cons: Many explanations in Japanese, so it may be a bit inconvenient for foreigners ✅ Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) ⸻ 2.
