Kagakaki-no-Komichi (Kiln Wall Lane)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A distinctive Seto alley where discarded kiln tools and pottery shards are stacked as walls and lane sides. This unique landscape, seen only in a pottery town, tells the story of how Seto's residents have lived alongside pottery manufacturing for centuries. Walking through lanes and narrow paths, you can fully savor the distinctive charm of a pottery town.

Tips

Sloped paths and stone steps are common, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Narrow alleys present challenges for photography; be considerate of foot traffic. From late summer through fall, the contrast between green vegetation and pottery colors is beautiful.

Best time to visit

Approximately 45 minutes. Soft afternoon light beautifully highlights the pottery-shard walls.
