About this place
Yakimono Sanpomichi (Pottery Footpath) is a model tourist course themed on ceramics, the local industry of Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture. It is a tourist course that arose naturally from about 1972 in Tokoname, known as one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns (Tokoname ware) and as Japan's top producer of maneki-neko (beckoning cats). It is set mainly on the hilly area of Sakaemachi, where many pottery-related facilities built before the mid-Showa period remain, such as climbing kilns, brick chimneys and factories with black coal-tar-coated plank walls. The total length is about 1.5 km.
