Tokoname: Onizaki Yacht Club
Among the coastal places of Aichi Prefecture, Tokoname stands out for its centuries-old ceramic tradition on Ise Bay. Onizaki Yacht Club is part of the city’s waterfront, with berths protected from the open bay for sailing and motor boats. Tokoname is one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, a group of historic pottery centres that helped shape Japanese ceramic culture. The city remains closely associated with Tokoname-yaki, particularly its unglazed stoneware and teapots. Inland, the old pottery district preserves kilns, workshops and brick chimneys, while Ise Bay borders the western side of the Chita Peninsula.

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.
