Seto

Temporarily closed for renovation until April 2025. This museum is home to a large collection ancient works of the Jomon era and ancient ceramic kilns. It can be reached by taking a Meitetsu bus from Owari-Seto Station to Touji Shiryoukan.

This small art center has a delightful display of glass and ceramic art made by local artists. It also sports a nice cafe.

Great museum with several ceramic exhibits and a reproduction of old Seto.

This shrine dedicated to the founder of Seto ceramics, Tamakichi Kato, and yields a nice view of the city. There is also a monument dedicated to those from Seto who died during the Second World War.

This is a festival for the "manekineko" or the beckoning cat which can be seen in almost every shop, restaurant and other retail area. Hundreds of these statues are put on display and other exhibits can be seen as well.

Ceramicists of the city and other regions turn out to sell their wares at a discount price. There are thousands of pieces that can be bought for almost any purpose. Great place and time to get authentic Japanese souvenirs.

This park is a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of traveling and museum hopping. There is a nice river flowing through the park which makes for a nice dip in the summertime or great atmosphere for autumn colors or cherry blossom viewing.

This studio offers pottery making experience classes for both pottery making on the wheel and pottery painting. Classes are conducted in small groups, and studio owner can speak decent English.
