Discover The Hidden Pottery Town of Tokoname

No better way to see Tokoname

This was an amazing experience! Touring with a ceramic artist is the best way to explore Tokoname! Mr. Yagi was knowledgeable, kind, patient, and flexible. He spoke English fluently, and facilitated and translated our conversation with the tea master, Mr. Mizuno, when we visited Chaden - Tea Cafe & Teapot Workshop. I enjoyed his tour tremendously, and learned a lot! Incidentally, Mr. Yagi is VERY talented, comes from an artisan family. His grandfather's, his father's and his own works were on exhibit at the Tokoname Ceramic Hall when I visited. If you are interested in Japanese ceramics, sign up for this tour. You won't be disappointed! FYI: The tour I received was not exactly what was described on Viator, but it was what I wanted. Mr. Yagi was quite willing to pivot and give me a tour of my choosing! For this I am truly grateful. (Hidden Pottery Town of Tokoname. Sunday, 10/12/2025, 10:30 AM. 2 hours)

Private Pottery Road Walking Tour in Tokoname

fun, informative tour of a beautiful area

This was a highlight of my trip! It was great exploring tokoname with someone familiar with the area, history and potters. I learned and saw so much that I wouldn't have been able to without a guide. I recommend to anyone with an interest in pottery, or even for those who don't (like me) but who like authentic, off the beaten path kind of experiences. The guides were passionate,really knowledgeable and open so it was overall a really fun day.
