Treasure Hunting at the Mashiko Pottery Market

The pottery market held in spring and autumn in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture is Japan's largest-scale pottery event, attracting approximately 600,000 visitors. Over 500 tents showcase a diverse selection of pottery and ceramic works from Mashiko-yaki kilns and craft artists throughout the country, all sold at reasonable prices. B-grade and outlet items are also available, offering a chance to purchase pieces from artists normally out of reach. With outdoor food courts and workshops, it's an event you can enjoy all day.
