Comprehensive Tourist Information Site for Tanegashima

能野焼（よきのやき）窯元　福元陶苑

We are a traditional studio that makes high-fired unglazed ceramics in a climbing kiln using the soil of Tanegashima. The pieces produced from this soil and these flames have unique texture with ash covering and color variations from the firing. The color and luster increases the more you use these pieces. Therefore, they will come to suit you perfectly. We also offer pottery experiences. You can experience the real pleasure of making ceramics with a potter’s wheel and enjoy a healing time having fun with the soil through a hand forming experience.

Come to Yokinoyaki Kamamoto Fukumototoen if you want to have a pottery experience on Tanegashima. Both those from on and off Tanegashima enjoy a time of healing by having fun with clay in our potter’s wheel experiences and hand forming experiences.
