A must visit when you are at Nagoya! Set lunch at The Kiln was marvellous! Parking is troublesome as need to park at Aeon Mall which is located at the side and can redeem two hours of free carpark.

A unique garden lined with red brick houses and a fountain. There is a museum or two here featuring pottery pieces, history, etc. One requires a small fee while the other has free admission. There is also a shop.
