Not worth planning a whole day around coming here. The bus only runs once every 2 hours and there definitely wasn’t enough to see or do for two hours. A basic run down of the entire village is pottery shops left, pottery shops right, a pretty well thought out up hill walking street with a river flowing through, and more pottery. As another reviewer said, after the first 3 shops, it all becomes the same. Honesty, if you’re in to buying Japanese pottery then this is the place. If you want to learn about Japanese pottery then go to the history museum in Nagasaki which contain a vast collection of pottery from around the northern Kyushu area. Also, the hill to the right side of the village isn’t worth climbing up as the trees block any clear view of the valley and there’s nothing else to look at up there. Only upsides are the river is very clean and has stairs where you can walk down into the river, and the 19th century Japanese architect makes for great photos.
