Visited the Kyushu Ceramic Museum in Arita, Saga Prefecture, it is a treasure trove for ceramic enthusiasts. With its impressive permanent collection and frequent special events, the museum celebrates the historical, cultural, and artistic significance of ceramics created in Kyushu, particularly Saga and Nagasaki Prefectures. There is an interesting giant ceramic clock with four seasons and melodies every 30 minutes! The displays are well-curated, informative, and even include English translations. Whether you're a pottery aficionado or simply curious about Japanese porcelain, this museum is a must-visit. Plus, the free entrance makes it even more appealing! 🏺🎨

Had a very nice time in this museum! It traces the development of Arita ceramics and the history of Japanese ceramics in general. Maybe a 10 minute walk from Arita Station but it is totally worth it! The museum was also free when we went there! But I would have been willing to pay for the exhibits there, some of which were also interactive. Would definitely recommend visiting!

It's a great place to be, with just 15 min. walking distance from the train station. It's a fantastic place to see ceramic and porcelain arts from the ancient times. The staffs are extremely friendly and you can even enjoy a cup of coffee in a cup made from the Edo period! With lots of free parking and free admission, it's a "must do" if you come to Arita.

The Kyushu Ceramic museum is a medium size museum where you can find a lot of pottery dated from the 16th century. It’s free to visit and staff is very friendly. You can spend from 1 hour to many hours depending how much you like pottery. Oh, and don’t forget to check the clock working and the toilets!

This museum exhibits the ceremic ware from the entire Kyushu region and works by the ceremic artists. The ceremic clock is super pretty and it moves every 30 mins! Even though my family and I are not into ceremic art, but we are definitely impressed by every piece if work showcasing in the museum!
