Held every year during Golden Week, this festival gives visitors the chance to come into contact with a kind of pottery that utilizes traditional techniques, which have been passed on from generation to generation for more than 300 years. Purchase pieces of pottery straight out of the kiln and enjoy watching locals breaking clay by utilizing the clear running streams that runs through the village.
