Touch the pottery culture of Onsenzu ware

About this spot

A facility that preserves the tradition of "Onsenzu-yaki" pottery fired in climbing kilns, one of the finest in the San'in region, where you can view and experience the simple yet powerful craftsmanship of pottery making. The large climbing kiln is impressive, and actually trying your hand at pottery can create a memorable souvenir from your trip—your own unique vessel. It's an excellent opportunity to learn that Onsenzu has long prospered as a pottery production center.
