Tsuboya Yachimun Street — Attraction in Naha

The full English translation of this attraction is Tsuboya Pottery Street. Essentially, this is a street in Naha filled with shops run by local ceramic artisans. It is a winding street that you can walk through in which you can window-shop beautiful pottery made in Okinawa. It is interesting to step into each store and see the different styles of pottery that each produces.

The shops have an array of products, but they typically all sell housewares including cups, dishes and plates. But some also sell ceramic art like shisa figurines. Prices vary by piece, but they are generally priced above what you would pay on Amazon or at a department store for something similar since they are not mass-produced and made locally rather than in China or elsewhere.

Overall if you appreciate objects and their presentation this is a place to spend a...

This quaint Okinawan street housed many shops which showcase the craftsmanship in pottery, glassware and brass/bronze ware. It’s a nice place to explore and shows a different side of the busy city, which tends to have more shopping and eating to do. These photos are taken of individual shops which are different in character and style. A treat for anyone...
