Decorative Plate Workshop
We are renovating the rice storehouse of the Inaba main family—a prominent merchant family—into a workshop where visitors can try their hand at pottery, incense-making, and painting on plates. We hope many people will come and easily enjoy these hands-on experiences, immersing themselves in a world of tranquility.
Whether you paint a design or write a message on an unglazed plate... please have fun creating a one-of-a-kind piece.

Area & City/Town Introduction (Kyotango City)
Located at the northernmost tip of Kyoto Prefecture, the city’s entire northern coastline faces the Sea of Japan. It is blessed with a diverse natural environment, including the majestic coastal landscapes of the San’in Kaigan Geopark—designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark—as well as beaches with white sand and green pines and beautiful rural woodlands. With a rich culinary culture featuring fresh seafood, agricultural products, and fruits—a culture highly regarded for its quality—the city has garnered attention as a destination for food-focused travel, as evidenced by its receipt of the “Gourmet City Award” in 2024. It is also known as one of the prefecture’s leading hot spring resorts, and as a city where nature, cuisine, hot springs, and history and culture harmonize, it offers a variety of ways to enjoy the area throughout all four seasons.
