City & Place Guide

Ancient kiln town where ceramics, cats, and coastline converge.

Tokoname is a quiet city on the western coast of the Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture, best known as one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. Pottery has been fired here for over 1,000 years, and the town's streets, walls, and drainage pipes are literally built from surplus ceramic pieces, giving it a charmingly rustic, brick-red character.

Beyond its kilns, Tokoname is also famous for its maneki-neko (beckoning cat) figurines and hosts an endearing cat-themed walking course through atmospheric lanes lined with workshops and galleries. It sits conveniently close to Chubu Centrair International Airport, making it an easy and rewarding detour for travelers passing through Nagoya.

  • •Tokoname Pottery Walking Trail — a scenic path through historic kilns, pipe walls, and studios.
  • •Maneki-Neko Promenade — whimsical street lined with large ceramic lucky-cat sculptures.
  • •INAX Live Museum — hands-on museum exploring tiles, bricks, and global ceramics history.
  • •Toko Kiln (Tobei-gama) — one of the oldest surviving climbing kilns still open to visitors.
  • •Tokoname Akarenga (Red Brick) District — photogenic warehouses and workshops in the old town core.
  • •Chubu Centrair Airport observation deck — panoramic views of the bay and aircraft spotting.

Getting around: Tokoname is best reached by the Meitetsu Tokoname Line from Nagoya or directly from Centrair Airport in about 15 minutes. Within town, most major sights are walkable from Tokoname Station; the pottery trail and cat promenade are easy on foot. Local buses are infrequent, so walking or renting a bicycle from the station area is the most practical option. Taxis are available but rarely necessary for the compact town center.

Best time: Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) offer mild temperatures and pleasant conditions for strolling the outdoor pottery trails.

Local food: Try Tokoname's local eel (unaju) dishes, Aichi-style miso-glazed foods, and freshly thrown pottery-themed sweets sold in the studio shops along the walking trail.
