Kutani Pottery Kiln Museum — Attraction in Kaga

A beautifully curated insight into Kutani pottery. This museum in Yamashiro Onsen offers a fascinating look at the history and craftsmanship of Kutani ware. We really enjoyed seeing how the ceramics are made — from shaping the clay to firing in traditional kilns, and the celebrated overglaze technique — and the displays of finished pieces are absolutely exquisite. There are also hands-on options to try shaping or painting pottery, which would be great for those wanting a more interactive experience. A peaceful and inspiring place that celebrates the artistry of the region. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Japanese...
