    Aichi Seto-shi Ichirizukacho 27
    "About five minutes on foot from the Ichirizuka bus stop, this well-preserved Meiji period kiln has inherited the Seto technique of making pottery with a white finish from highly heat-resistant clay. There is also a ""climbing kiln"" on the mountain slope, and in 2017 the pottery production area was certified as a Japanese Heritage. The studio has lots of clay vessels waiting to be fired. You can also try your hand at making one using a potter's wheel. The program takes about an hour, making it a good place to spend some quiet time with clay."

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
