Imari-Arita Ware Traditional Crafts Center
museum
伊万里・有田焼伝統産業会館
Visitor center at the entrance to Okawachiyama, displaying Imari and Nabeshima ware history alongside contemporary work from the village's 30 active kilns.
The first stop most visitors make in Okawachiyama, sitting at the village entrance near the Nabeshima Clan Kiln Bridge. The center displays the history of Imari and Nabeshima ware alongside contemporary work from the village's roughly 30 active kilns, with rotating exhibitions through the year. Combine with a slow walk up the village's main lane.
Pick up the village walking map here — most kilns don't post English signage, and the map shows which workshops are open to drop-in visits versus appointment-only.
