Yachimun, Okinawan traditional pottery, is well-known for its coexistence of colorful design and naive texture. Many top chefs in Japan use Yachimun dishes because they boost the allure of the cuisine without over-decoration and increase customers' appetites. The best way to find your favorite Yachimun is to visit as many studios with a guide-interpreter as possible and talk to the artists or shop staff at Yachimun no sato, or Yachimun pottery village, at Yomitan!

Tour Important Information

It is hard for non-Japanese speakers to ask questions when shopping. Also, there is no explanatory sign about the history and features of Yachimun over there (even in Japanese.) With a knowledgeable guide-interpreter, the problems are solved!

- Many shops do not accept credit card. It would be better to have Japanese yen as cash.

- There are many hills in Yachimun Pottery Village. Please wear conformable shoes to walk.

Fantastic Personalized Tour Created by Harry

This is my second visit to Okinawa to conduct research on kariyushi wear and my second time with Harry as a tour guide. As usual, Harry was amazing. He was so detail oriented when creating a personalized tour for me. He asked such insightful questions, took the time to search out the best places for me to check out, made some great suggestions, and arranged everything! I am so grateful to Harry for this thoughtfulness. If anyone reading this is ever in doubt, do not hesitate to book Harry for your guide - you will not regret it!

Dear Christen-san, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing me again—it was an honor to guide you for the second time. I truly appreciated the opportunity to support your research on kariyushi wear. Through the tour, I gained a deeper understanding of how Okinawan people view both Kariyushi and Aloha styles, which was very insightful for me as well. I hope our paths cross again on your next journey! —Harry
