Your piece will then be dried and fired in the workshop and delivered to you in about one to two months' time. This hands-on class is always available and they also offer limited seasonal pottery classes. There are also special classes that make use of carefully selected clay.

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
