Zwinger Palace

Address: Toya, Arita, Nishimatsuura District, Saga 844-0014, Japan Highlights: The Zwinger Palace is located inside the Arita Porcelain Park. It is a a full-size reconstruction of Germany's Zwinger Palace, which is a spectacular example of German baroque architecture. There is a paid porcelain museum in its right wing. Like Arita, Dresden is famous for its local porcelain, Meissen Porcelain, produced not far from the city. The displays inside the palace and park provide insight into the influence of Arita porcelain on European designs. In the park grounds there is a studio where visitors can try making porcelain, and tours of a sake, shochu (Japanese liquor), and beer brewery. Opening hours: 10am to 4pm daily. Admission fees: 600 yen. Slightly pricey but definitely worth it in my opinion! 🥰🙈 #passionpassport #japan #traveljapan
