Saga Prefecture: Hiruzen Toukien Pottery Accessory Making Experience

Pottery accessories,
How pretty!

Make your own original accessories with pieces from popular artists of Hizen pottery in Saga Prefecture, the home of pottery. You can make accessories with your favorite colorful pieces. You can freely decide on the shape, size, color, and pattern. Brooches, earrings, ear clips, rings, hairpins, and hair ties! It's more unique because you can make various accessories.

Make unique accessories made of Yakimono pottery with your own hands. Accessories that you can't buy anywhere are great as souvenirs for memories or as gifts for loved ones.

Arita Porcelain, Arita-yaki

Arita porcelain refers to porcelain manufactured in Arita Town and the surrounding areas of Saga Prefecture. As Japan's first porcelain production area, it has continued to produce products centered on tableware and crafts for 400 years. It is characterized by transparent white porcelain, dyeing drawn with cobalt soil, and gorgeous red painting porcelain.

It has high durability and produces many items from works of art to daily necessities. However, the price is not cheap. That's why I recommend the accessory making experience where you can make accessories from pottery fragments and take them with you.

Aesthetics learned at the Yoko Art Museum

You can get a glimpse of the beautiful aesthetics of pottery at the Yoko Art Museum. Also, you can enjoy the changing exhibition contents depending on the season.

Japanese Garden Keishuen

Keishuen is a Keizumi circuit-style Japanese garden. The Keizumi circuit-style garden is a type of Japanese garden where you can take a walk on the garden path surrounding the pond. So it's a great garden to take a walk while breathing in the fresh air and looking at the scenery.

The waterfall reminiscent of the Middle Ages and the blue tea field are impressively arranged to create a harmonious and beautiful background. It has different charms depending on the season, so it's good to visit anytime.
