Overview
1,000-year-old unglazed pottery village with 100+ active kilns and hands-on workshops.
The birthplace of 1,000-year-old Bizen-yaki, Japan's oldest unglazed pottery tradition. Brick chimneys from over 100 active kilns punctuate the skyline around Imbe Station, and narrow lanes connect workshops where potters fire high-iron clay for two weeks straight. The Bizen Pottery Traditional Industry Hall offers hands-on wheel-throwing and gallery browsing.
