Visited #Imari before taking bus for Okawachiyama village , it is most notable because of Imari porcelain, which is the European collectors' name for Japanese porcelain wares made in the town of #Arita #Japan.

Small but interesting museum that shows Imari's connection to Europe from the early 17th century. Free entry.

About 5 to 10 minutes walk from Imari Station. A merchant's house near a shipping port that was once known as Imaritsu has been preserved and exhibited as a museum. Imari (personally) had a strong image of pottery, but in reality, it seems to have been recognized throughout the country as the above-mentioned distribution center (at a time when ships were the main means of transporting heavy goods). The museum (merchant's house) had clever features throughout, such as the shutters and the parlor on the second floor, and that alone was interesting. How about taking the next train during the transfer time between Matsuura Railway and JR Chikuhi Line and walking around the city, including this one? We also recommend taking a look around the townscape of Okawachiyama, the village of pottery (however, be sure to check the round-trip bus timetable).

This is a white-walled storehouse building that has been in existence since the late Edo period as a pottery merchant. Please stop by when you are sightseeing in Imari City.

The place is a house where ceramic works and the development of the ceramic industry in Imrie are displayed starting from the 17th century. The visit was very interesting, when the family (Debi) explained to us about the place. A visit to the family store located elsewhere made the experience perfect.
