Fukagawa-seiji china on the park; porcelain gallery and outlet shop
Gallery;
It is a landmark where all the works of Fukagawa style from the works by the first generation of Fukagawa Porcelain, Chuji Fukagawa, to the modern works that inherit the style, are gathered in one place. It is a gallery standing on a hill on the premises surrounded by greenery. The large pot that was awarded the gold medal at the one thousand nine hundred Paris World Exposition, which had been in the main reference building as a secluded treasure for almost one hundred years, was also opened to the public on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of "China on the Park". The works from the beginning of the company to the latest works are exhibited in the same space. Of course, you can purchase the products in the gallery.
Outlet shop;
This is directly managed by a Fukagawa Porcelain factory. It is known among fans as a treasure house where excavated items lie. In addition to discontinued and non-standard items, we collect "leftovers", which are only a part of the set products, and offer them to porcelain lovers at special prices.

About Tour Guide Katsu N.
Thank you for taking the time to read my greeting! My name is Katsuhisa, but please feel free to call me Katsu. :)
My philosophy is rooted in my catchphrase: "Quick and flexible hospitality."
Before becoming a guide, I worked as a salesperson, introducing customers to beautiful furniture across various Japanese cities. That experience taught me how to present products and ideas in a way that is both engaging and memorable—a skill I now bring to my role as a guide.
However, I am more than just a guide; I am your concierge. Whether it's tailoring an itinerary to your specific interests or preparing seamless experiences with meticulous attention to detail, my goal is to provide you with a journey that exceeds expectations.
I am deeply passionate about sharing the unique charm of Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Japan as a whole, while honoring the culture and places that shaped who I am today.
Let me craft an experience that is both enlightening and truly unforgettable.
Thank you, and I look forward to welcoming you! :)

“Japan family trip Dec 2024”
Katsuhisa (Katsu) is a very helpful, responsive, cheerful, friendly tour guide I have ever met in Japan. He’s professional, well planned and flexible if we need to amend the itinerary. My family and I had a great time during the brief stay in Nagasaki and Fukuoka. Had good experience and definitely recommending Katsu to anyone planning to travel there.

Dear Betsy and her family, I'm glad you enjoyed my tour. There are other areas I can guide besides Nagasaki and Fukuoka, so please feel free to contact me the next time you come to Japan. Below is the Cantonese translation for your mother and father. ---親愛嘅貝茲同佢嘅家人， 我好開心你享受我嘅旅行團。除咗長崎同福岡之外，仲有其他地區我可以引導你去，所以下次嚟日本請隨時聯絡我。

“Nice day outside of Fukuoka”
We had a nice day with Katsu. He was very detail oriented. We told him we wanted to see the pokemon manhole covers and he took us to all three right at the beginning. Then we enjoyed the shrine and historical sights. He arranged for us a very good lunch where we enjoyed steak and eel. Katsu created a new itinerary for us which exceeded our expectations!

Dear Julie, Rodney, and Lily, -Thank you for leaving me a review even though you were tired after a long trip. I'm glad that you were satisfied. After doing some research, I found that there are still more Pokemon manholes in the area where I can make a tour, so I look forward to seeing you again. -Katsuhisa

“Excellent Service By Mr Katsu N.”
My mother and I are very happy with the service that Mr Katsu has provided. It was a very pleasant journey in Nagasaki. He is attentive, patient and helpful. He has even asked what songs that we would like to listen so he can download before the trip for us. Though certain places are not accessable for seniors, he will still bring us there to take a picture. We would like to have him if we were to visit Nagasaki again. Thank you.
