Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Arita through kiln-brick lanes and the Izumiyama quarry. Distinguish public areas from displays and workshop interiors, checking visiting and photography conditions.

This guide covers places within Arita, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Tombai Wall Lanes

トンバイ塀のある裏通り

Lanes preserve walls made with reused refractory kiln bricks and kiln tools. The 2011 photo shows the wall exterior around Tsuji Seiji. Do not enter private gates or touch walls and ceramic fragments; respect access and residents’ daily life.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Izumiyama Porcelain-Stone Quarry

泉山磁石場

A quarry associated with the extraction of stone for porcelain. View it from currently designated visitor areas, staying out of cliff and work zones. Do not take stone or ceramic fragments; follow local access notices.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association introduces baked curry served in Arita ware as a local food experience. Ask the seller whether the bowl is included and check menus, prices and opening days. Verify dairy, wheat and other ingredients; recipes are not identical everywhere.
