Message from our customer:
Whether you are an amateur or a long term pottery professional: explorejapaneseceramics is definitely a fantastic way to get the information you need. The trip to Mino was probably the best I ever had in Japan. (By F.P)Our tour to Mino was one of the best trips I’ve ever had in Japan. And although the tour was already custom tailored according to our interests everything was still very flexible and could be changed on the fly according to the local circumstances. Above that we also had the chance to visit authentic sites and professionals who would probably be impossible to find without the knowledge of explorejapaneseceramics.com” (By S.K)It makes such a difference when you get to know the artists and learn about their creative process in person, and at the spot. This takes the pottery appreciation to a totally different level. (By P.L.Y)

Special Thanks to F.P, S.K, A.B and P.L.Y
