Giant tanuki statue, Mashiko pottery shopping, and lunch
About this spot
A major shopping spot for Mashiko pottery, greeted by an impressively large tanuki statue. The center offers everything from affordable everyday dishware to artist pieces, plus dining options and pottery painting experiences—perfect for a visit that includes lunch. Selecting a small commemorative tea bowl for children to take home makes a memorable souvenir.
Tips
Since pottery is fragile, ask staff to wrap your purchases carefully and place them in an eco-friendly tote bag. Note that for pottery painting experiences, finished pieces are shipped later, so plan accordingly for peace of mind.
Best time to visit
Allow 1.5 hours. The dining area tends to get busy around lunch time.
