Arita Porcelain Park, Ceramics museum and theme park in Arita, Japan.

The Arita Porcelain Park features a full-scale replica of Dresden's Zwinger Palace, containing exhibitions of European and Japanese ceramics within its walls.

The park opened in 1993 to showcase the local ceramic traditions that began in 1616 when kaolin deposits were discovered in the Izumiyama Quarry.

The facility maintains permanent exhibitions demonstrating the influence of Arita porcelain on European ceramic designs and manufacturing techniques.

Visitors can participate in pottery workshops, explore European-style gardens, and purchase both Japanese and European ceramic products from multiple stores.

The park contains an ancient kiln that demonstrates traditional pottery-making methods used by craftsmen throughout the centuries in this region.
