It is a place where a number of workshops gathered to produce traditional Okinawan pottery called Yachimun. Here you can see the historic climbing kiln and actually buy pottery. Yachimun is simple yet powerful, and has a texture that matches any dish. A lively vessel enhances the appeal of cooking. Please find your favorites for yourself or for souvenirs. Depending on the workshop, there are places where you can make "vessels" and "painting" where you can make your own yachimus. Let's make a reservation to each workshop in advance.

The "Yomitanyama Kiln Joint Shop" is a direct sales place where Minoru Omine, Makoto Yamada, Terumasa Tamamoto, Akimitsu Kaneshiro, and Yachimun gathered together at the Yomitan Yamayaki kiln.
