I am so glad we visited. Master potter 松田共司 Matsuda Kyoushi runs the largest kiln in Okinawa. Learnt about the long process of preparing the clay that takes almost 7 years before it can be used to shape into vessels. So much life lessons we can draw from the process of pottery. A quaint and beautiful village to look around. Bring cash if you want to purchase pottery. The pottery items are made for daily use. Each piece is hand made and different from those from Daiso that is machine and mass produced. After understanding the process of hand made pottery, the prices seems very Low.

My go-to when I want unique pottery and shisa/ishiganto. There are a lot of stores in the area. So wear comfortable shoes, put on sunscreen, and make sure you pop into every store. Each store has its own unique style of pottery. Their themes seem to change, so it's best to keep going back to see the new designs that the artists come out with. There are a lot of pieces from knick knacks, chopstick rests, plates, bowls, cups, serving trays, ishiganto, and shisa. You're sure to walk away with something

It’s a beautiful village with many pottery shops. They have their own factories there as well as their shops. You can easily take a stroll here and spend some time in the quaint area. It’s also cat’s galore. You will encounter cats at every step of the way. They don’t trouble no one and no one troubled them. I found this place way overpriced. The designs were very common. Nothing which caught my eye was standing out. It was pretty standard pottery stores. It’s a tourist place so the prices are jacked up. Nevertheless, it’s good to walk around and explore.

Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visited Yachimun no Sato pottery village in mid-January, and it was a wonderfully peaceful experience. The village has a charming atmosphere, with a good number of pottery shops showcasing a variety of beautiful and unique ceramics. The highlight for me was the traditional kiln, which was fascinating to see and learn about. This is an excellent destination for pottery enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates handcrafted art. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Okinawa!

There were a number of pottery shops, conveniently located within a short stroll from one another. There was an extensive collection of handcrafted ceramics, ranging from the modestly priced to the luxurious. I spent around 2 hours looking around. A good place for souvenir shopping to remember Okinawa or a gift to give to someone else. There are lots of friendly cats here. Also, there are public bathrooms.

Great place to get artisanal pottery and glasswork. This area is in a residential neighborhood full of families who have been doing pottery for generations. There's giant kilns everywhere, workshops and stores. Be sure to take your time and walk around and visit each store as they have their own designs and are very proud of it.
