Located in the mountains of Nagato City, "Fukagawa-gama" is one of the two major origins of Hagi-yaki pottery, a traditional craft village boasting over 400 years of history. It flourished as an official kiln for the Choshu Domain during the Edo period, and many potters still carry on these skills today. In the quiet streets lined with cobblestones, you can find brick chimneys and old climbing kilns, allowing you to feel the breath of traditional Japanese crafts just by walking. Here, under the guidance of artisans, you can enjoy a pottery-making experience by actually touching the clay to create your own vessel. It is a high-quality cultural experience spot where you can touch the aesthetics of "Hagi's Seven Transformations" and shape one-of-a-kind memories.
