Toushingama Tsuboya pottery

Experience Hall / Accommodation Experience (Training) Facility

4.0

This pottery, which specializes in Okinawa’s representative Yachimun-style pottery, fires its creations in a traditional “Noborigama” ascending kiln, which is very rare nowadays. It fashions many different items using this traditional method, including sake jars for holding awamori (millet brandy). It also hosts pottery classes in its workshop to spread the appeal of Yachimun, allowing visitors the chance to make plates, cups, handmade shisa (Okinawan lions), and more. Visitors can also observe the creation process.

カフェも併設

工場見学や陶芸体験ができる他、やちむんカフェ群青が併設されていて食事も楽しむことができます。読谷のやちむんの里の側ですが少し距離があるので車で移動が必要。

読谷村のやちむんの里にある壺屋焼の窯元。素朴な個人の窯元ですが、素人でも、陶芸の体験が楽しめ、ていねいに指導していただけます。
工房見学をさせて頂きました。

壺屋焼陶真窯は歴史があるそうです。工房見学をさせて頂きました。那覇市内にある巨大な「壺屋うふシーサー」はこの工房で作ったそうです。
