Porcelain Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Porcelain Park is located in Arita town, Saga Prefecture, Japan. The Porcelain Park is a considerably large replica of a wannabe German village, located just on the outskirts of Arita on the road to Hasami. Most stunning is probably the copy of the “Zwinger,” a famous German castle in the city of Dresden. Inside the castle is a permanent exhibition of European porcelain held in one track and Arita porcelain in the other. Both are pretty impressive. Behind the castle lies a European style garden, and behind that a large ancient kiln can be visited. The rest of Porcelain Park is like a theme park. [1]
