- Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Kitaharamachi 3-10
- "A pottery studio founded in 1845 with an attached workshop and gallery. While the pottery has a long history, their work features modern designs to blend with contemporary life under a concept of ""vessels for daily use that enrich people's living spaces."" All of their pieces are masterfully created by hand without any machine-based mass production at all. The gallery's permanent exhibit features Maruo ware's work as well as pieces from other potters."

特別丸焼きを購入したくてこちらに来たわけではなかったのですが、窯元なので、ちょっと見てみたいと思い立ち寄りました。値段は結構しました。観光地に窯元があると立ち寄るのですが、それぞれ風情があっていい感じですね。こちらも見るだけでしたが、ちょっと気分良かったです。

- Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Amakusamachi Takahamaminami 598
- A leading pottery studio using Amakusa toseki, lauded in the Edo period as the best ceramic material in the land. Said to have been started by Dengoemon, the sixth head of the Ueda clan in 1762, they make Takahamayaki pottery to this day. White and translucent, Amakusa pottery stone is still renowned as Japan's highest quality raw material for white porcelain and it is used for Arita ware, Seto ware, and other top-grade styles. The adjacent museum displays antique Takahama ware and old Amakusa documents, as well as world famous Amakusa pottery stone and information about its background for up close viewing.
Kumamoto Areas
Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
