Lovely place, the day I went on was a rainy day and I didn’t managed to explore as much as I would have liked but I love cosy quaint places just like this, it would helped the village a lot if their government provided more tourist friendly ways to travel there, as I feel like a lot of the shops deserve more people visiting them as they have really lovely porcelain ware there! Even if you don’t buy anything it’s worth dropping by!

The town is one of the must-go destinations when travelling around this area. Window shopping and photo taking are a wonderful experience for almost everyone if you're not into porcelain buying. We took a break at a shop that is also a coffee house. They served hand-dripped coffee together with complimentary sweet snacks. The best part was that everything was served on gorgeous porcelainware! It was an excellent half-day visit to the village.

Nice village with a lot of pottery manufactories and shops .. it's not easy to go there. We took a local bus from Imari. We would stay there a few hours more but we could not find a place to have lunch so we left.

Lovely street to wander through although you have no plans to purchase anything. Touring cars are hopping on and off. It's quite remote, so I guess not many tourists are coming here by themselves.

It is a beautiful place to walk through. Hot in summer, any other time would just make it better. A good spot to spend a few hours wondering through the pottery shops and see the artisans painting and dipping their pottery.
