Tokoname Pottery Village Day Trip from Nagoya

A Relaxing Tour in Tokoname

I had such a fun time on this Tokoname tour! The guide was super friendly and shared lots of interesting stories about the town and its pottery. It was my first time there, and just walking around the town was so relaxing. The scenery was beautiful and it felt really calm and uncrowded. I loved seeing all the lucky cats and cat-themed pottery all around the town, and there were so many cute handmade pieces to check out. I also tried the lucky cat painting experience, which was a lot of fun. It’s not included in the tour package but highly recommended if you’d like to design your own lucky cat. Overall, it was an amazing trip for me, and I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves cats, pottery, or exploring local towns in Japan.

Tokoname and Arimatsu Crafting Traditions from Nagoya

Great, engaging tour!

The tour was run effortlessly, with Kim our guide being approachable and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the visit to Tokoname way more than I thought I would! Kim was very understanding when I got lost and was late back (sorry everyone), I actually contacted the Snow Monkey Resort support team and was promptly sent a Google map location to help me get back to the meeting point. Arimatsu was interesting and I’m glad I’ve ticked it off my list so to speak.

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.
