Tatsunokuchi Hill Park

The communal bath of Tatsuguchi Onsen, with the concept of "invited by the light of the lanterns, leisurely enjoying the hot springs." The bathhouse drawing from the skin-friendly sodium sulfate and chloride spring features an indoor bath with a sauna overlooking greenery and a garden-style outdoor bath surrounded by trees, with a monthly gender rotation. The outdoor bath consists of a cypress bath and a rock bath made of natural stones, both full of charm. There is also a tatami-floored salon, making it a great place to relax.

The "KAM Nomi City Kutani Ware Museum," consisting of four facilities including a museum, memorial hall, and artisan workshop, is located within the Kutani pottery village. One of those facilities is this experience hall. The painting experience using Kutani ware pigments to decorate white porcelain dishes and cups, as well as "Kutani Pottery Happy Pieces," which remakes broken Kutani pottery shards into accessories, are recommended as they can be done easily. The hand-throwing and wheel-throwing pottery experience using Kutani clay takes about 2 hours.

The "Kutani Pottery Village," which boasts a history that began in the early Edo period, gathers the diverse charms of Kutani ware. Within the premises, there are facilities such as the "Gosai-kan," where you can learn about the production process and history of Kutani ware, the "Asakura Ikkyoku Memorial Hall," where you can closely admire masterpieces, and the "Experience Hall," where you can casually enjoy painting and pottery experiences, all part of the "KAM Nomi City Kutani Ware Museum." There is also an arcade street lined with galleries from 12 Kutani ware companies. Every May, the "Kutani Chawan Festival" is held, and in October, the "Kutani Pottery Village Festival" takes place, allowing visitors to fully enjoy seeing, learning, creating, playing, and buying Kutani ware.
