On the weekend we went to the town of Tokoname, near Nagoya Chubu Airport. In the past this town was famous for producing ceramic goods such as pots, jars & pipes, and there were lots of kilns (ovens for ceramic baking) there.
Now there are only a few working kilns, but there are lots of other interesting old buildings to look at & there are various shops selling not only ceramic goods but also antiques, plants, glassware, & other things.
There`s also a small bakery where you can buy bread & then eat it at the tables outside, right beside a big old kiln. Nice.
Click on the above picture (twice) to see it better. If you like what you see, then I suggest you visit Tokoname!
