About this event

The "Uki Pottery Kiln Tour", held in Uki City, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a stamp-rally-style event that takes participants around local pottery kilns.

Operating hours are from 10:00 to 17:00, but as opening and closing hours differ depending on the kiln, advance confirmation is required. This event is a valuable opportunity to experience the traditional ceramic art culture of Uki City and view works filled with the artisans' passion up close.
