The 400m long street is paved with Ryukyu limestone and is lined with about 40 kilns, workshops, and stores.
There are few cars, so it's perfect for a leisurely stroll while learning about the history of Okinawan pottery.
Tsuboya is a kiln that opened in 1682 as part of the policy of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Going through the arcade of Heiwa-dori Shopping Street from Kokusai-dori, you will see a sign for pottery.
This is a map showing pottery stores and cultural properties, so it's recommended to check it out before you go for a walk.
⚫︎Yachimun means pottery in Okinawan.
