What is Maker's Pier?

Makers Pier is a commercial facility themed around "manufacturing" located in Kinjo Pier, Minato-ku, Nagoya City. Under the concept of "Makertainment," a coined word combining the words "Make" and "Entertainment," the facility is divided into three areas: "Forest Garden," which is centered on hands-on facilities; "Central Park," which is lined with restaurants; and "Uptown," which is centered on general merchandise and accessory stores.

Inside the facility, there are attractive shops with the theme of manufacturing.

The slide that connects to the middle of the "Circular Slope" at the entrance to Maker's Pier is a very popular spot! Anyone under the age of 12 will enjoy it.

Since Maker's Pier is adjacent to Legoland, the facility is also connected to the Legoland gate.

Sound and light fountain show

"Central Park" is located in the middle of Makers Pier. Here, a powerful fountain show, reaching 10 meters high, is held every hour from 10:00 to 21:00.

Illuminated at night

It is also lit up at night, and the fountain show where light, music and water are united is a masterpiece! On sunny days, you can relax on the lawn square and spend a fantastic time at night.

Lots of photo spots!

There are many photo spots in the facility that are sure to be a hit on social networking sites. You will be tempted to try "KenKenPa" and other photo spots that will make you and your child want to take a commemorative photo! There is also a photo spot for parents and children to take a commemorative photo! You will not be able to stop your excitement.

Enjoy Maker's Pier!

From here, we would like to report on the actual Makers Pier!
Let's go there~!

Try making a glass stamp at "Maker's Labo"!

The first place I visited was "Maker's Labo" which just opened on March 20th this year. Here, full-fledged manufacturing experiences such as stained glass experience and electric potter's wheel experience are provided on a daily basis.

This time, we tried our hand at making a glass stamp. Ms. Yuko Matsushita, a glass artist, taught the class.

First, choose one of the glass stamps made by Mr. Matsushita. The price is 3,500 yen for small and 4,000 yen for large. All of them are wonderful and it was hard to choose.

After much deliberation, we chose this design!

Once you've decided on the design of your stamp, it's time to start making your stamp!

Mr. Matsushita: "First of all, please make a draft of what kind of design you want to make according to the size of the stamp! You can draw a picture you like, or you can design and draw your name."

What should we draw? We came up with several design ideas, referring to the works created by other customers.

Here is a self portrait. It turned out to be quite surreal (laughs).

Once you've decided on the design, wrap masking tape around the glass so it doesn't get scratched.

Once it is tightly wrapped, a special sheet with the pattern printed on it is attached to the glass. Once the preparations are complete, the staff will finish the stamp with the machine Mr. Matsushita uses to cut the glass.

We are very much looking forward to seeing how it will turn out!

It looks like the grinding is finished! Wow! The drawing has become a stamp as it is.

Remove the masking tape and you're done!

The finished stamp will be placed on the bookmark! We wonder if it's done well. ......

Well then! Here is the finished stamp! We are very impressed with the beautifully finished product. It only takes about 30 minutes to make your own original stamp, which is a very exciting experience.

This stamp will be used in various situations in the future.

Thank you Mr. Matsushita! Maker's Labo offers 10 other experiences. (Reservations are required for various hands-on classes) Please join the hands-on class that interests you and experience full-fledged manufacturing.

Lunch time at "Pizzeria Marino Bambi Nano"!

After finishing making the stamp, it was just about noon, so we decided to have lunch at Pizzeria Marino Bambi Nano. This is a restaurant that boasts steaks and hamburgers, as well as standard pizzas and pastas.

At this restaurant, you can also experience the popular kids' pizza-making experience (1,500 yen (excluding tax) per person)! In Marino's only room dedicated to this special pizza-making experience, you can put on a cook's uniform, stretch the dough with your hands, spread on the sauce, and put on the toppings. You can enjoy the delicious pizza you made yourself.

It is sure to be a memorable experience for your child! *The experience is available for ages 3 and up.

The spacious restaurant also has a raised space for people with small children so that they can enjoy the food without hesitation. This makes it safe even for those with babies.

Recommended menu

Italian tomato and mozzarella cheese 1,290 yen (excluding tax)

Marino's standard menu "Italian Tomato and Mozzarella Cheese" is an irresistible combination of homemade springy fresh pasta and rich tomato and mozzarella cheese. A simple yet addictive pasta dish.

Bacon and mushroom parmenara 1,080 yen (excluding tax)

Next is Marino's original menu "Bacon and Mushroom Parmenara". A carbonara made by shaving a huge parmesan cheese and entwining it with spaghetti on the spot.

The staff will finish the spaghetti while shaving a huge parmesan cheese. So much of parmesan cheese!

4 popular quattro pizzas 990 yen (excluding tax)

When it comes to Marino, you can't miss the pizza! We recommend the "Quattro Pizza" (four popular types of pizza) for those who want to try all of them!

At Marino, pizza craftsmen make each pizza in the store and bake it in an authentic stone kiln. The result is a pizza that is fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

In addition, Marino has a hot iron plate on each table to warm up the pizza because we want you to eat it piping hot until the end.

With this, you can enjoy it until the end!

Everything was delicious and filled our heart and stomach!
