Tokoname

Built around kilns supplied by local clay, Tokoname grew into a pottery centre on the shore of Ise Bay and one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns. Tokoname-yaki has been made here for centuries, and the city is particularly associated with unglazed stoneware, teapots and ceramic maneki-neko figures. The old kiln district retains brick chimneys, workshop buildings and the Dokan-zaka Pottery Path, where walls and lanes incorporate ceramic pipes and vessels. Offshore in the bay, Chubu Centrair International Airport links the area with domestic and international routes.
