窯跡をそのまま保存している興味深い展示館

Reviewed : 2022.08.30

窯跡を発掘した後を、そのまま覆う形で建物が建てられており、当時の登り窯がどのようになっていたのかを実際に見て感じる事ができました。通常、窯跡の遺跡は調査後埋め戻されるのが普通で、こういう形で見学できるところは初めておとづれました。
登り窯一見の価値あり

吉田屋窯の跡（国指定史跡）を、発掘された状態のまま公開しています。施設内には、昭和15年に作られた九谷焼としては現存最古の登り窯（加賀市指定文化財）と、九谷焼窯元の住居兼工房として使われた古民家（加賀市指定文化財）があり、現在は展示棟として使用されています...
お土産屋としても、好適

展示館の体験コース、見学コースと隣接する九谷焼のお土産さんがあって時間の関係で御茶碗と急須ののお土産のみ購入しました。値段の割に高品質で愛用しています。
