The Highlight

Round-Trip Transfer Enjoy comfortable, private transportation from your hotel (or designated location) to the pottery studio, which is otherwise difficult to reach.

Professional English Guide Included Communicate easily with the artisan. Your guide will help you understand the history and techniques of Japanese pottery more deeply.

Learn Directly from a Master Artisan The master artisan of the traditional "Genzui-gama" kiln will patiently guide you, from handling the clay to using the potter's wheel. Perfect for beginners!

Historical Kiln Tour Get a rare look at the inner workings of a traditional "Noborigama" (climbing kiln) where the pottery is fired, and learn about its history.

※As this is a pottery-making experience tour, the finished pieces cannot be taken home.

The Experience

Tottori Prefecture, located in a quiet region of Japan, retains a rich culture of "Mingei" (Japanese folk craft) that has been passed down for generations. This tour takes you to "Genzui-gama," one of the kilns upholding this tradition, for a special pottery-making class taught by the artisan himself.

While this studio is normally difficult to access by public transport, this private plan includes round-trip transportation and a professional English guide.

First, the artisan will show you the traditional kiln and explain its history. Then, it's time for your pottery experience. Feel the clay and spin the wheel as you immerse yourself in the quiet, "Zen-like" focus of creating your own piece.

Your artisan will be right beside you to help, and your guide will interpret, allowing you to fully appreciate the depth of this traditional Japanese craft without any language barriers.

The studio also features an attached gift shop where you can purchase and take home your favorite finished works(Cost for souvenirs is not included).
