What other travelers are saying about Yachimun Street (Pottery Street)
If you love Japanese ceramics, you would like this place. It is good for a chill afternoon if you are too tired for the touristy sightseeing. With ceramics museum , ceramics store and cafe, you can possibly spend 2 hours here, as the street is quite short.
Streets are so beautiful here. You really get the feeling of old traditional Okinawa.
Downside side is the shops are all about same and aimed for tourist who want to buy pottery.
Not all come from Okinawa so ask shop keeper before buying.
Bought some nice gift here though so all in all pretty happy I went here.
There are many pottery and ceramics shops around. Most of them have same kind of mugs and teapots but some have very unique designs. The prices are high but if you want to buy a Japanese pottery this a right place to go for.
Wonderful and enjoyable spot to visit if you love pottery. You can spend more than an hour or so just viewing the different pottery shops. There are a variety of styles ranging from cute and modern to more traditional designs and glazing techniques.
