Tokoname Pottery Footpath

A great day trip from Nagoya City to this ancient pottery village filled with beautiful cat displays. Less than 30min on the Meitetsu Limited Express. Go on an hour to an hour and a half footpath to explore and learn about the village’s rich history dating as far back as the Meiji Period. The path is well maintained and marked. The main thing to keep in mind is that there are still people living in this village, so please be considerate and abide by the rules from the tourism information guidelines. Wave to the big statue of Maneki Neko on the bridge over Tokoname Manekineko-dori leading into the village. Marvel at some pottery art and items sold in the local shops along the footpath. There are shops with items ranging from ¥ to ¥¥¥. Great to buy yourself a souvenir or a gift to that special person. There’s also cafès along the path. Most important, get to spot number 9 on the footpath and snap a photo of Dokan-zaka Hill (one of Japan's top 30 home town hillside ways). Another historical sight is the Noborigama (Climbing Kiln) - designated National Important Folk Cultural Property. I can’t list them all, but this should make you want to go experience this place sooner than later. Add it to your list of places in Aichi Prefecture.

I love pottery this place is a great spot to see beautiful cute potteries hand made original. You can buy many things.

A simple, relaxing, and leisurely walking trail where you can savor the atmosphere of Japan, conveniently located near the station and well worth a visit.

＃raeshares＿セブチ巡り this street is renowned for its long history of pottery production, dating back over a thousand years. along the sidewalks, visitors can admire beautiful drawings and paintings adorning the walls. Jun's photo spot is located in an alley. more seventeen-related post @rae_shares on instagram!

A fantastic small street if you are in the area, and I saw a few photographers making use of the unique scene here. It's a short walk and hence best to visit only if you happen to be in the area. Recommended to park at the nearby Family Mart (and also shop there) as there are no dedicated parking areas for this path.
