Arita Ceramic Park is a leisure park with ceramics as its theme. The biggest highlight is the ceramic art museum built to simulate the German "Zweienger Palace". The museum houses world-renowned Arita ware works. The historical evolution of Arita ware can be clearly seen from the works from the Edo period to the Meiji period. In addition, the 180 cm large vase exhibited at the 1870 Vienna World Expo is one of the must-see collections in the museum. In the Arita ware workshop, you can experience the fun of kneading pottery and painting. Even beginners can create a unique Arita ware. The Arita Pottery Market held in late April and early May every year is a grand local festival with a history of nearly 100 years.
In addition to being famous for its ceramics, Arita Ceramic Park also has a very distinctive appearance. Walking into the park is like walking in an 18th-century German town, because the buildings in the park are completely German-style.
There is a kiln for burning paper porcelain on the hillside in the distance, and there is also a small shop where you can experience porcelain hand-made. If you have time, you may want to try it.
There are drugstores and duty-free shops next to the ceramic park for tourists to shop.
